That first stupid CCRP on first radar lock. I didn’t binded a key to disable it.
CCRP wont affect A2A weapons
I was on my first rounds with the Su-34, so I had 100kg bombs.
Now I use R-27ETs (the SU-34 is unique in how many ETs it has) and R-73s on it, along with 2 napalm bombs.
Except they don’t have realistic guidance Delay. The guidance delayed Nerf is based off of ejector racks but every missile in game is modeled as if it comes off a rail when the AMRAAM is launched from a rail it has no guidance Delay if you look up the test firing of an AMRAAM from an F 15 on that video you can see the fins start to turn AK the missile guiding not 2-3 feet off the rail. and even if the source was correct, it was probably for the aim120a which is a non-reprogrammable missile so it is likely if that source was accurate. The later variance B onward were reprogrammed to have a shorter delay.

yes
I have the impression that in all the discussions and comparisons between the Fox3, one very important aspect is being overlooked. I’m referring to the platform carrying the missiles. The same AIM120 will be completely different on an AV8 than on an F15. The potential energy is different. If we’re going to compare missiles, let’s present a specific situation that we’re all thinking about. Then we can have a sensible discussion.

Some might say he is even a master of baiting in general
When comparing stuff like this, it is obviously implied that the launch speed and altitude are the same for all.
Same for HOBS testing.
You’re wrong, the initial speeds are different when they leave the rail. The launch speed of the rocket is added to the launch platform’s speed. For example, an AIM120 with an Av8 will receive +0.8 Mach, while for an F15 it can be as much as +2 Mach.
You don’t get it…
Okay, explain it to me
If I am comparing missiles, I am comparing them at similar launch parameters.
What’s so hard to understand?
If you pick an harrier, and if it could launch a derby and an aim120, the aim120 would still have higher range and the derby would still be more manouverable off the rail, regardless if you compare them at 0.9 mach or while hovering.

This is all an analogy for how napalm burns longer than bombs and can take out a larger range of bases.
That’s comparing empty numbers. Without relating this to the specific combat situation we might find ourselves in, let’s focus on one type of missile, the AIM120. Are you claiming that the missile has the same knockdown capabilities when fired from an AV8 and an F15? That’s my point, not some imagined situation that might never arise. When making such comparisons, one must consider the platform and the overall situation, not just the textbook parameters. Following this line of reasoning, would an AV8 with an AIM120 beat from distance an F16 with Derby?
if the Harrier was high enough, yes.
Sea Harrier FA2s use to outrange quite a few aircraft because they tended to cruise 10k ft higher than most others, even supersonic aircraft

But when comparing say Aim-120 vs R-77-1, it does no good to have the Aim-120 fired at 30k ft at mach 1.5 and the R-77-1 fired at mach 0.8 at 10k ft and then claim Aim-120 is better. Battle rating generally balances out platform performance though (well, at least it should) which is why the FA2/AV-8B+ are 13.0 and not 13.7 alongside an F-16 with the same AMRAAM
Where the hell did you see me claiming that?
All I did was some tables rating the missiles themselves. While comparing at similar launch parameters. So people can get a simple grasp of how they handle against each other.

ok, I’m out…
The AIM-120C5s are certainly not better then the AIM-120A/B right now, in fact the C-5s are worse then the A model, the only good thing about the C5s is the extra range but that’s it. Honestly if they had modeled the C5s correctly to IRL specifications then they would actually be amazing and great but nope Gaijin decided to make the western players suffer again.

I was so confused with the title of the post lol.
