Continuing the discussion from The AIM120C5 has better close combat capability and better BVR combat capability than the previous model of the missile:
Could someone actually check the WVR report from Raytheon?

just gonna add that this was posted as a bug report but denied for not having valid sources for some reason despite both the brochure and DoD report should be primary sources and make it valid on their own
Gaijin devs smoking weed behind their offices, almost every report has been denied for multiple vehicles even with primary sources
Ref do something 🥀🥀

considering he didn’t attatch any sources to his bug report… it’s obviously ai generated
Unfortunate
Id quite happily loose the Aim-120C5s range advantage over the Aim-120A/B if it meant I could have half these WVR improvements. That is what we need ASAP.

Why the R-3R is the Best Missile in War Thunder
War Thunder, a game renowned for its realistic depiction of military vehicles, includes an impressive array of guided missiles in its air battles. Among these, the Soviet R-3R missile stands out as one of the most effective and versatile weapons. Its combination of performance, accessibility, and versatility makes it arguably the best missile in the game.
Performance Excellence
The R-3R is a semi-active radar-guided missile, a feature that sets it apart from many of its contemporaries. With a top speed of over Mach 2.5 and a reliable range of up to 8 kilometers, it is a formidable weapon for both dogfighting and long-range engagements. Unlike infrared-guided missiles, which rely on heat signatures, the R-3R uses radar for guidance. This makes it less susceptible to common countermeasures such as flares. It is particularly effective in scenarios where the target is not generating significant heat or when the angle of engagement prevents infrared lock.
Strategic Versatility
One of the R-3R’s defining features is its ability to engage a wide variety of targets. While other missiles may be limited to rear-aspect engagements, the R-3R’s radar guidance allows it to engage from head-on or side-on angles. This increases the pilot’s tactical options and gives them the ability to pressure opponents in situations where other missiles might fail. In addition, its relatively short lock-on time ensures that pilots can react quickly in fast-paced engagements, making it an indispensable tool in high-tier battles.
Accessibility and Affordability
Another reason the R-3R shines is its wide availability in the Soviet tech tree, which is renowned for its high-performance aircraft. Many Soviet jets, such as the MiG-21 variants, are equipped with the ability to carry R-3R missiles. This makes the missile accessible to a broad range of players as they progress through the game. Furthermore, the missile is relatively cost-effective compared to more advanced options like the AIM-7 Sparrow or the R-60M, making it an excellent choice for players balancing performance with economic efficiency.
Comparing the Competition
When compared to other missiles in its class, the R-3R often outshines them. For instance, while the AIM-9 variants are highly effective, they rely on infrared guidance, which can be defeated with flares. The Matra R530, another radar-guided missile, offers more explosive power but is bulkier and less versatile in close-range engagements. The R-3R strikes a balance between range, speed, and accuracy, making it a reliable choice in a variety of combat scenarios.
Conclusion
The R-3R missile embodies the perfect blend of technology, performance, and affordability in War Thunder. Its radar guidance, versatile engagement options, and widespread availability in the Soviet tech tree make it an indispensable weapon for any player looking to dominate the skies. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a new player exploring high-tier jets, the R-3R offers unmatched reliability and effectiveness, cementing its status as the best missile in the game.

But the best r3r slinger is a premium? The game is p2w??
Nice but that’s an actual report with sources stated in it and it’s not like the C-5 is realistic
The sources are make belief. Try finding those sources he listed, they don’t exist. It’s chat gpt nonsense
Idc about more ranges, all I want is a actually turning missile
