AIM-120D is just... wrong

i tried 15k launch alt and it didnt hit btw so no
no one is launching it pass 14k

That ain’t orbital chief

u cant get to 20k alt without getting 5 billion rwr ping

the D-3 is physically longer so it could be either more thrust more or more fuel or both tho the devs themselves say the aim120D isnt in that tier but i have a feeling they intend to have us use D.3s vs meteors and r77m so that’s prob gonna suck

You don’t know what /s means

do u know how much longer or how much more?

its not that much longer to be fair just a lil bit dont have the exact number tho

another 5 inch motor it is

D-3 adds an inch or two at best but we have no idea how much bigger it is

Ah yeah I remember that, unfortunately it wasn’t written prior to AIM-120D-3 going into production.

I have a source though i don’t know how official it is

definitely another 5 inch motor

drop it

wonder how much gas they can get outa 5 inches

if they did it to the 120C then definitely something worth it

Now i cannot tell if this is official or not but according to it 120D should have better HOBS than 120C

True but the DSCA sale announcement specified regular D and C-8 in the sale so it’s likely they were talking about standard D

had they recieved the AIM-120D-3 at that point?

obviously it should

Probably the same as with 120A->C5, about 5kg of propellant extra. So you’d get about 56kg of it in “+10” missile.

And it does, courtesy of 360 launch in game. No source thats flung back and forth state ranges at which “HOBS improvement” happen.
