They are tho. Yeah. Long range. Same as the MICA can go at long and short ranges unlike the AMRAAM, but i digress.
They aren’t, still excellent missiles
Shoot at closer ranges, long range shots gives players too much time to defend!
30 KMs is a lot?? Iirc at 30 KMs the time to target of the AMRAAM was the same as the MICA’s
It is when you can just notch any missile by turning slightly.
30Km shots are fine if you are high and fast. Or if you want to pressure a player to then force them to defend and then kill them with your next shot which realistically should not be launched higher than 20km with 15km being the sweet spot.
do you know if there was a source for this tracking delay or if it was gaijin making it up?
There is, there’s either some unclassified korean documents stating this or some other source, I forgot which one they used.
Here’s the code from the game files for this.
AIM-120A/B
After .6 seconds after launch it will start maneuvering,
ALL OTHER MODERN FOX 3 (EXCL. MICA)
Basically means after .3 seconds after launch, starts to “ramp up” to overload, achieves max overload at .31 seconds, so basically .3 second delay
MICA-EM
.15 seconds after launch, shortest after r-73
AIM-120C-5
First amraam with tracking delay as other fox 3s.
Which is actually underperforming :P
im pretty sure aim7f and its copies literally have no delay
Yeah but they have no thrust vectoring so their turning radius is much bigger, plus their fin aoa is much worse than fox 3 missiles
Why?
What do you think adding this would do? What does it do better?
It’s not
Mfw this guy is trying to compare amraam in a dogfight with r73 and surprised the r73 wins (almost like one is a bvr missile and one is a dogfight missile)
So flare it and move on with your day?
So you suck?
The latest variants of 9Ms, would improve its overload from 30 → 35Gs in-game. Which is a minor improvement, but not nothing.
So it also isn’t a high priority to add…

turning radius is much bigger,
idk about that, sometimes it feels like 7m would hit some close range shots amraam doesnt
True, but it would be easier to add than the AIM-95, which was completely skipped over and would actually be a noticeable improvement
AMRAAM yeah because it’s closer to a sky flash in terms of off rail performance than the 7m. Other fox 3s, no.
