Aim-120-C5 Opinions, Useless, more useful?

ive looked a bit and ive not seen any documentation supporting either the fin AOA nerf or the guidance delay

I agree that max g pull is achieved at very high speeds however when launched from very high speeds eg mach 2+ I would think it would pull more than the 25ish Gs it does in game when the motor is about to burn out

Fin aoa looks right to me, should be 27 if I remember right.

In general, all aim120s are lacking in pull which was bug reported a year ago still no fix. AIM-120A & B - Performance against manoeuvring targets too poor // Gaijin.net // Issues

As in 27°? Or 0.27 value in game? The in-game value is the aoa in degrees expressed as a fraction of 90°. So the 0.268941 is ~24.2°.

If you have sources for 27° fin aoa, that could help a bit.

I think I have a source for the 27 degrees aoa, I MIGHT be misremembering, I’ll comb through what I have(unclassified ofc). I have a manual for the cf-188 that might have it but I think it’s still classified unfortunately.

Maybe this could help?

nevermind, seems like it’s for DCS so questionable

I thought C-7 gets a new motor also

All AIM-120s missing Low-Smoke motor
AIM-120C-5 missing low-smoke motor
The C-5 having the same loft as the A/B
Seeker range
Report for HOBS

Gaijin keeps giving the “OEM manuals needed” well knowing everything is classified, and then they get mad when people leak restricted manuals. Everything should be modeled according to public sources not OEM manuals in specific. This will be a bigger problem later on when we get other newer missiles or other newer aircraft

This one literally has a primary source and authored reports, and still got denied.

I think this update might be one of my last straws

Wait for the shit storm when they add aim120D and make it a copy paste of aim120A

yeah I saw that, idk how they can justify that

Community needs to rally again

looking at it idk if they attached the DoD report but even just the brochure should be a valid source

It used to only be confined to Italy and the UK. They gotta rebrand because the whole “historically accurate” thing isn’t gonna fly anymore.

I feel like almost every vehicle ingame that isn’t Russian has at least a minor accuracy issue, ignoring big ones.

Tbh at this point even classified documents would be rejected due to some bs reason

Thats cause gajinn bugged the seeker i wouldnt use footage as of now

Reading all those replies i think we clearly all agree that the c5 is a major disapointement, everything its supposed to be wasent added and it now is barely even diferrent from its previous variant, and we cant even prove them wrong since they know the c5 data is classified

It would do us all a solid if one sould could test both aim120 varient and compare them then send the results here

its chatgpt

yeah r77 should be around 0.5 instead of 0.3 from this video:
edit* more like 0.3-0.4 seconds, gaijin seems mostly right here

“No thats clearly an obvious capitalist dog lie great russia cannot be nerfed”
