I just dont get how you could watch the video and say the current modeling is accurate.

oh they know its not accurate, they just don’t want to fix it bc other the US might be competitive at top tier. i swear they just have a hate boner for the US in warthunder
Just the way it is I guess. Like, atleast the devs should just look at the footage and see with their eyes that yeah, that’s not a 15 degree deflection.

The least they could do would be to just undo the fin aoa nerf. That alone would likely fix the issues with aim120 across the board. The same fin aoa nerf they made without a source…

that would make it good in today’s meta, but you know they wont. they’ll just add the D-3 that’ll be between the 120A/B and 120C and call it a day.

Idk anymore. I lost faith in this company a long time ago. Especially when it comes to accurately modeling anything. Its okay, but you can look at the sloppy job they do and wonder why they don’t just do things correctly.

The problem is the D-3 will inherit the issues from the low fin AoA, so even with a better motor, it’s still gonna struggle close range unless the thrust force increases drastically.

I got banned for even mentioning the word review so i’d be careful. I agree tho.

bc they can’t let the US have anything that even comes close to what Russia has, let alone be better. at least for air.
Whats funny is the r77-1 would still be stronger. just the gap would be less.

I think it would only be fair, if not still a little but underperforming to make the AIM-120 as good as it was pre nerf now that russia has R-77-1’s
@Smin1080p_WT can you check on this situation? I get that the report contains a lot of guesswork but the main point of my report is that the footage clearly does show the fins are moving a lot more than just 15 degrees, like sure not enough info, because the info is classified but what else can you expect from us, the D is barely an upgrade at all, at least for balance purposes this whole story should be re-evaluated.

@Smin1080p_WT could you please do something about this, or at least take a closer look? I know you guys don’t take player math for bug reports but its clear that there is a big difference between IRL and Warthunder AIM-120 performance. at least for balance purposes at least revert the AIM-120 to what it was pre nerf and make the C/D worth using over the A/B, because right now there is no reason to bring the C.

Perhaps gunjob could help. I’m not sure if this is his thing tho. i just know he has more sway than a normal player.

The datamines use the wrong coversion. The internal values are listed as a number meant to be convertef into radians, but are incorectly converted into degrees.
Gzasbi is aware of the issue and said he’d be fixing it shortly.

Well if they helped its long range somehow, and buff the seeker, and model the 2 way DL & GPS guidance, on top of manueverability buffs it would be very strong

Very, as it should be. It’s the most advanced missile in game besides maybe pl-15 if it gets its actual values. Mica is a good missile though and definitely trumps it in maneuverability, same with the r77/-1. but as far as medium range a2a missiles go the aim120 is the gold standard for a reason.

you think I should ping them? Don’t wanna be that one guy who pings everyone when something doesn’t go his way lol
