Aim-120 c5 to all f-18 nations and respective planes for balance to the next major update

untrue just looking at the AAM3 (F4EJ kai), R77-1 (Mig29SMT, SU34, idk about the 27sm), Aim120 (F16A MLU for china)

ofc there are exceptions, it still doesnt make my statement completely untrue

IRL, yes.

This is war thunder however and as already stated it’s total delta V is only a minor improvement and said delta V for similar missiles is very important to their performance. Its also a overall heavier missile to boot, the change will be far less than the likes of the R-77 vs R-77-1 who got a substantial boost to it’s delta V.

deltaV as i said is irrelevant

i am talking about actual in game performance

Delta V is not irrelevant to missile performance, it is the measure of the entire efficiency and performance of the missile’s motor in comparison to it’s weight and diameter.

That is it’s actual in game performance pertaining to it’s motor.

DeltaV is the maximum speed differential to the launch platform

No its not. Please go and educate yourself.

Heck I’ll get you started, here is the formula to calculate the delta V of the 120A.

So wrong yet so confident…

I will not continue this conversation, have fun

My brother in Christ these are the stats of the missiles fired from a static position, there is no plane involved.

A TEST STAND IS STATIONARY

I never mentioned any planes. Please stop mentioning me. Thank you

lol

This is comical at this point, you dont even know the definition of Delta V yet sit here and try to lecture me on it.

Delta V is mandatory to properly gauge the kinematic performance of a missile, omitting is willingly leaving out a literal core component of rocketry.

Welp, problem solved, kill the thread.

not surprises really but what surprises me is that EFT don’t get it despite being 14.0 jet as well.

Tbh I do get the F/A-18s getting them since their overall flight performance is pretty bad beyond funni turning, but given the F-15s also get them yeah, I dont see why the EFTs should not also get them.

In the end its not a major upgrade for all aircraft but it will be a noticeable +.

At least the F-16C should get them too

Those other planes shouldn’t get them unless gaijin does some actual decompression by increasing the max BR to 14.7.

And if they do come, gaijin needs to fix the PL-12, and Mica to be more realistic.

cool, but now the aim120 c-5 needs to come to UK too

Yes yes yes I know that Russia will have it’s LRM superiority challenged, its so sad that a missile that almost reaches the R-77-1 in total max range has appeared.
