august 2024, and yes they very much do change things for balance if they think it important, the aim120s were dominating at face value and people were complaining ALOT, and as such they received a pretty large nerf in maneuverability with a slight range buff. the maneuverability nerf wasnt based on bug reports and gaijin never said what they based it on.

Pretty sure thats when angle gating came to all fox3s no?
I searched and i could not find any official post mentioning the AIM-120 in august 2024. Could you link it please?
That’s from the DEV-server… As in; before they were even finished and released to the game.

That’s exactly how the Aim 120 should be again

If they were like that again, I would be very satisfied
If you have any proof that the AIM-120 is able to fly like that then feel free to report it. I very much doubt that the A/B variants are able to do dogfight turns IRL.

it was this patch
the change wasnt even mentioned in patch notes

I can’t prove it, but for balance reasons this would make a lot of sense. Essentially every Fox-3 missile, except the AIM-54 and Fakour-90, can use its maximum G almost immediately after launch.
it was
what do you think they mean with “Drag was corrected”
ok? so where do they mention massive changes in turning performance in the patch notes
lets say we’re back in june when the aim120 released, that was the state of the missile, we couldnt have done crap to nerf it, because both the initial and current maneuverability are based on numbers that doesnt exist, and because we dont know what standards gaijin uses to decide a number we have and wouldve had 0 arguments to stand on for a nerf,
and the nerf itself is even more of a stretch as the amraam can achieve 35gs for a short amount of time and it takes a long time to do so, its the only top tier missile to have this problem.
the reason i say its ironic should be clear now, if you made this statement back then you wouldve been in the same exact situation we are now.
it was a july patch afaik
It cannot be that the AAM-4 is significantly better at close range than all Aim 120s
Thanks :)
