Probably meant single plane maneuverability, or maneuverability with half of all control surfaces aligned. AMRAAM does 35G single plane, AAM-4 might be a bit more complicated.
It is not more complicated
AAM-4 already uses a roll input for the functionality of the directional warhead and it is most likely also used in normal flight to roll the missile into dual plane maneuverability, where all control surfaces are aligned increasing turn performance by ~1.4×. Normal missiles can reach that too, but don’t actively roll to achieve it, giving missiles with roll input an edge.
AAM-4 doesn’t use roll for the warhead, and likely doesn’t have any roll control
However, Gaijin doesn’t model any dual plane maneuverability, only single plane.
So AAM-4 would be more agile than AMRAAM through this, achieving constant 44.8G maneuvers, rather than 35-49G depending on the aspect.
AAM-4 has a fixed limit of 25G, meaning no matter what it can aerodynamically pull, the missile FCS is limited to 25G turns to preserve energy
However this is assuming 32G is correct in single plane, which is likely not the case with AAM-4 being described as ~5% more agile than AIM-120B, or 36.75G single plane, 51.45G dual plane.
Again, 25G is the correct value.
The 32G, same as the current inaccurate motor, likely come from Gaijins current idea of the AIM-120C, as they did not accept sources on the AAM-4 itself and probably lack information beyond the common 120C-5 and AAM-4 comparison.

it’s literally the 3rd best ARH after mica and aim120 XD
it has the exact same stats as mica just without thrust vectoring

Not anymore, they gave it it’s own Flightmodel now. (Still true that it USED to have 1:1 MICA stats without TV)
Therefore can be banned according to EULA
(Mods pls)
oh fr? still 3rd best after mica nad aim120 im guessing
No
Youre wrong
Mica em have sustainer
Aam-4 doesnt
Theres nothing similar, except of seeker(btw same for all fox-3 except phoenix and 120C-5
Zino is saying “how would making the AAM-4 the best missile in the game, improve game balance?”
Wow, then all missiles is phoenix C, they used to have same stats(all of them)
It would take you a half hour to write that BS? No wonder you’re the kind of person to think this is a good balancing decision lmao.
They should at least nerf amraams then cuz there’s no way they were this good, they literally got a HUGE buff before the update went live, that’s also when aam4 got nerfed to the ground with smaller g load and massively bigger drag.
it literally is though. Which missile do you think takes its 3rd place spot?

Amraam is underperforming. Live with that.
Can you prove they werent as good as the game depicts them? Seems like EVERY person who says this is just like “no shot they were this good, i dont believe it” and thats their only evidence
The rb99 it’s LITERALLY the same as an amraam
Soooo thats an amraam, not a different missile lmao
