Basically, there was no point in adding c5 in its current state its essentially the sepv2 situation same thing just heavier lmao gaijin is back at it again.

AIM-120A/B v AIM-120C-5 v R-77-1
Acc. to this vids testing the C-5 Hits target first outside 20km. Inside 20km the A/B hits first.
From my experience in test drive, the “carrots” on the radar that indicate hit probability is smaller range on the C-5 than the A/B at 7km alt airspawn in test drive against the furthest AI planes.
I want to see what the radar carrots show at extreme distances. I think inside 20km the A/B’s ranges for hit probability will be greater than the C-5.

I was playing in the test flight with a 3/3 loadout with aim120b and aim120c.
Aim-120C
- Lofts a lot, even at short range
- Longer range, or better final speed at long range shoots.
- Heavier, slightly slower acceleration and turn at short ranges
- Similar HOBS to the A/B variant but much slower when trying maneuvering hard
Aim-120A/B
- Lighter, slightly better acceleration off the rail
- Considerably faster speed when maneuvering off the rail in HOBS
In a short-range HOBS launch, the aim-120A/B will hit the target considerably sooner, but both missiles often manage to hit the same extreme (for aim120 standards) HOBS targets, its just that the lighter A/B variants do a similar turn with faster speed overall, so in that regard the Aim-120C is a bit worse just because it gives the enemy more time to defend.

That sucks, AIM-120C-5 should just be a straight upgrade over the A/B

Gaijin doesn’t care about community,
AIM 120 C-5 is worse than A,B’s…
Bismark penetration is wrong, should be 742mm, I gave them all the sources
all this is very tiring…

Thanks. I actually thought B would be better than C at short distances. It really makes sense to have both B and C in one loadout.
Well, they still both suck for HOBS when compared to everything else

Why the hell are the unrealistic maneuverability nerfs still a thing?

AIM-120A and AIM-120B performing exactly the same to each other should have been the biggest red flag from the start.

isnt it just electronics between them though?
Because they need to keep the rest of the nations alive. If C-5 is on FA-18 alone I don’t think there will be much hesitation if any at all to buff it to close to IRL level, but the fact that it is on some of the most competitive platforms means it has to be kept modest.
Solutions could be remove it from EF and F15s or to add equivalent missiles to all nations/restore their equivalent missiles.
Could also have just given the C-4 to the EF/F15s if they do suck a bit so that they get better seeker.
It is but it has some software upgrades for better tracking and ECCM. Minor modifications, but it has them

Mainly yes for software, but I remember somewhere that it also meant the AIM-120B, compared to the AIM-120A, would also be technically better at calculating lofting trajectory but this minimal detail isn’t modelled into the game.

I think the C-5 should get fix now its suck then the B model under 10 Km. And easy to evade.

The MICA’s seeker is much much harder to notch than the AIM-120’s. Once i hit the 90 degrees the AMRAAM goes to shit. Mica needs some chaff and more notch time too

The mica is so strong that it automatically makes the 2nd best jet in the game for AirRB the mirage 2k which is 13.7
That is far from the truth. EFs are far better both kinetically and maneuverability wise. MICA does fix part of that but it doesn’t make it better than EF F15E J10 J11B Su30Sm and even F2 to a more limited extent.
The mirage can have positional disadvantage and have a higher probability of getting a kill with the mica within short range. All the other missiles are much easier to notch
He hit all the points.
Lemme guess, because we have no info on the AIM-120D3’s seeker it will be the same as the A and B’s?

Unless gaijin adds seekers that are close to impossible to notch, micas will be meta for a very long time, and those are already nerfed
