F18 countermeasures are that small???
having only 60 counter measures in the F18's just isnt right. I could have sworn that the F18C models at least had like around 100+ countermeasures. Am i wrong for thinking the counter measures are so low? or has it been confirmed they will be changed for the update?

Didn't make the title right, should have been something like:"F-18's have only 60 countermeasures???"

It depends on which model. The F/A-18C (early) will have the AN/ALE-39 with 30 countermeasures per bucket. It has two buckets for a total of 60.

The late model will have the AN/ALE-47 which has 60 per bucket for a total of 120.

Yes we need a missile that can't be flared and relies on mechanical failure or get fortunate enough to out pull it with a higher then normal IR missile range. Top tier is already to compressed.

AIM-9M's would be fine if they gave it its correct FM. Right now it pulls less than it does irl.

aim 9 m is not the same as aim 9x ... nor is it even comparable to r73. i do not go for minimal "it is fine" standard. make it balanced so aim 9x vs r73 since the missile guy said that would be balanced. Someone is holding off stuff while not balancing stuff.

I think he's losing it. The Aim9M irl is equal to an R73 but if they really want busted missiles to be added just remember the Rafale can mount MICA IR and MICA EX variants which would make the AIM9X and R73/74 cry in horror

talking about lack of balance and you talking about aim 9m being fine is not a good standard.

You are losing it. IRL the Aim 9m is not even equal to r73. Stop trolling son. Even the devs said aim9x would be more close equal to the r73 performance. IRL they developed the aim 9x exactly to compete with the r73 :steamfacepalm:

First of all, don't call me son. Second I did not said it could compete with R-73. I said "AIM-9M performs less compared how it does in irl" which it does. God..
