Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
The Matre R530E missile can be difficult to adjust to after short-range missiles like the AIM-9B Sidewinder. It is designed to take down targets from longer range, even able to shoot down very hardy planes like the MiG-21SMT from more than 5 kilometres away without too much difficulty.
Effective damage
Describe the type of damage produced by this type of missile (high explosive, splash damage, etc)
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of missiles that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc)
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Can quickly take down opponents without having to get too close
- Hard to dodge when fired strategically
Cons:
- Bad in close range engagements
- Slow acceleration
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
.
