AAM-4 missile nerf

personally I love using the AAM-4’s I prefer them over the aim120’s any day of the week

Dude do you not remember it pulling sustained 12G turns on launch? I have no idea how you can think that’s realistic performance.

And no, very few people on the forums are saying the Aim-120s need buffs, everyone pretty much agrees they’re about the most solid all around ARH in the game.

Oh my, a dedicated fighter being able to… fight? Nope, unrealistic. Sorry mate, but just because other nations prioritised dogfighting capabilities over having a turn time of a year (F-104 says hello), doesn’t mean it’s unrealistic.

The vast majority of current top tier aircrats (F16, Rafale, EF, Gripen…) should be capped at 9Gs with fbw, as irl because exceeding such limits would result in many many issues.

Then we have current top tier airframes, defying the laws of physics, being complete ufos like the gripen on release, the EF being capable of pulling lile 15Gs at 1400kph before the nerf etc.

Also no, the PL12 is NOT the worst fox-3, at all.

Matter of fact i might say it’s one of the best ones, even if gimped compared to it’s irl counterpart.

PL-12 being one of the best? Sure lad, maybe in Fairyville, where we all eat clouds and walk on rainbow roads. The only thing that can be considered worse is the AIM-54. The Derby and Darters are great, the R-77s (+1) are good for what they are, MICAs are overrated but still great, AIM 120S are the meta. PL-12s? Nah.

Ahh, yes the missile that has almost as much range as the amraam while also turning much better is for sure the worst thing on existence, only above the trash phoenix.

Meanwhile they have the chaff resistance of a Matra 350

Objectively WRONG, all top tier fox-3s beside the Mica EM have the same chatf resistance.

I don’t know what to tell you man, have you even played china? Are we even talking about the same missile?

I’ve played China, I play China. Currently suffering the J-11B right now.

I don’t know what to tell you, J11B is probably the 2nd best flanker in terms of A2A, just behind the su30, while also having the best flight performance of any flanker, a maw and a radar which despite it being a place holder it is still incredibly capable.

J11B is even an excellent rate fighter, arguably one of the best in game.

So i don’t see how can you be suffering in it

Stock grinding Flankers is a chore, especially since I keep getting maps that don’t allow me to Flank. I am so sick of Golan Heights. I have it disliked, but nope, I get Golan Heights five times in a row, and then I get Denmark (which I also dislike). Want to know what I like? City and Southeastern City. I’ll give you a hint on how many times I’ve gotten it. It rhymes with “Nero”

Interesting, and yes i have to admit the stock grind is pretty rough.

Me personally i don’t enjoy arb much, and i barely play it, because i actually play Sim EC.

But the Few times i have played arb in golan heights i must agree with you, i despise that map as well.

Denmark is also pretty bad, but at least not as much as golan heights.

You carry both because you have to.

I almost guarantee if you could take AAM-4s on the wing stations, most people would run 6 AAM-4s and 2 AAM-3s

I only play Sim at the premium levels. Yes, I am a zoomber, but I stock grinded Sweden (every single plane spades). I cannot be arsed to do it again. I’d rather just bomb until Rank 7 or 8 (depending), and then use those planes to grind.

I seriously don’t understand why there’s so many flat maps anyways, like you see people complaining about lack of cover, so why not put the Pillars, Afghanistan, the Cities in rotation more than Moscow and other flat maps.

Silence American main, an actual player is talking

Nah, id still take 2 amraams because, as i said, there are situations where its better.

Sure… Shooting at bad players…

The AAM-4 is better at every way that actually matters.

Pipe down tramp, the only unique airframes I’m missing are a Gripen and the J-10.

Meanwhile you’re half a step above a premium tard

The AMRAAM literally has better manueverability against targets at range, has longer range on the deck, and is better at targets below you at everything outside of like 6km range. You can check on statshark or notice it in game.
