So gaijin thinks the R-77-1 is as good or the same as the AIM-120C, evidence of the R-77-1 stats please or is it another Gaijin moment…
unless they change the aim 120C5 stats R-77-1 will be the better missile 90% or more of the time

Aim-120C5 (as of the current dev server) is probably still inferior to the R-77-1. And that doesnt include the fact the SU-30SM has the second best radar at 14.0 and double the average number of ARH missiles at 12.

Not unless Gaijin fixes funny bug that makes ACM\HMS mode to completely bug out and not being usable unless you restart the radar or force it to look at empty space for some time. Amount of missiles usually also doesn’t present any significant advantage, becasue majority of opposition can just avoid being in range of your missiles with superior airframe performance. R-77-1 holds a solid advantage at 20km range that is true, but if you are in an HMS range of a Su-30 in something that isn’t Rafale or F-18 - you might’ve messed up badly in your positioning.
still doesn’t fix the energy difference between an amraam launched at M 1.6 and a 77-1 with f-'d up drag launched at M1.1
Yepz that would help fix the Aim-120C5 fired from something like the Typhoon. At the moment BVR is almost impossible
