they arent,
it hasnt.
projection.
yes its fictional, even in the remote case it exist it wouldnt work like a maverick on crack because thats not the purpose of these weapons, im done with this convo as i said, its offtopic and you have no valid arguments.
Someone can’t use their eyes. Being blind to the facts is one of the worst things for a person.
I gain little to nothing with 38MT staying in the game, so I’m pretty objective on that matter.
It’s fictional if you believe hard enough, so I’m gonna leave you at that.
am i the only one who cant seem to hit anything with aim120c? (using euro typhoon)
its worse than 120A
thank you for clarifying it , i honestly thought i was going crazy , it was somewhat good in june but coming back now not a single air to air kill
It’s better at long ranges because the aim120c will be faster and retain energy better while maneuvering (at long ranges)
For everything else, the a/b is better due to the initial faster acceleration and lower weight that helps with maneuvering.
If you plan to send a few long range shots in early game at high altitudes, use 120c for that, the rest of the missiles should be the 120b since they are slightly better at everything else.
Isn’t C-5 supposed to be better than A/B in every way since it straight upgrades?
What’s supposed or not supposed I can’t say. But this is how gaijin implemented these missiles.
tbh even at bvr i still dont hit anything so i dont see the point of it
Any BVR requires sekrit ingredient of paid actor taking no meaningful evasive actions.
You can increase odds of hitting by maintaining TWS track even after missile goes active, to keep datalink channel open. That way, when target notches missile, but not your radar, you will still update inertial guidance on the missile so it can fly to correct post code. If you’re lucky, it might even fly close enough for proxy to trigger, without seeker ever regaining tracking.
The longer the range, the more time the target has to evade. So the Probability of kill (PK) is lower.
Which distances and altitudes are you launching your missiles?
Are you launching at the frontline low altitude players that are often skimming the ground because they expect to be targeted?
Are you launching at the frontline high altitude players that will often take more defensive actions on the first volley of BVR because they expect to be targeted?
I try to target the people behind those, like front-middle pack when doing long range shoots. If you don’t intend to take part in the first trade of BVR missiles, don’t bother with 120C-5s.
If I’m playing the typhoon for example, I usually bring 1 or 2 C-5’s because the typhoon is a good climber and can make some decent long range shoots due to the speeds you can reach up there.
Yes i do keep tws+ on but remember enemy exists and the enemy consists of su30 and f18s and f15e and guess what they do missile spam you to death , so after i launch during bvr i have to immediately notch otherwise i am toast
No i launch them from very high sometimes 7 or 10 kms but to no avail (bvr speaking) aim120c is super worthless
So, throw missile at the enemy to force them into defensive, breaking their own datalinks.
When you give all the time in the world to react to a missile, no wonder anyone capable of defending will defend and defeat the missile.
Literally what i do my man but it doesnt work , and i cant spam like su30s
120C-5 works fine for longer distances but its terrible for close range, use 120B for less than 15km better. Ideal load should be a mix of the two models
its more than 15km
120B hits faster out to ~20km depending on launch speed
I would say that after about 10-15km the C-5 reaches parity in effectiveness, even if the aim120A would reach the target faster a bit faster at 15km, the C-5 will be catching up and have more speed which means that it will have more energy to trade for turning/agility against a maneuvering target at those 15-20km ranges.
The aim120A/B is still better because those kinds of ranges rarely result in kills
AIM-120C-5 should be the same as A/B model but have more range and better tracking. But i don’t know why the C-5 are bad then A/B model. A/B are good for any combat situation then the C-5. I don’t know how Gaijin are thinking about to add a bad version then a previous version. The C-5 would have a good capability when it lunch form a good BVR platform. But in other performance its bad then A/B model.
Hope they will fix this model quickly.
