Chinese Air-To-Air missiles, History, Performance & Discussion

thats crazy

At the very least, the AIM-120 can truly achieve its rated maximum G-force in combat, while the PL-12 series, rated for 38G, cannot reach its official overload limit in actual engagements.

if it can it does so way too late to be any useful. regardless both missiles right now are gimped seemingly no reason to argue with ourselves.

Apperently you can sparrow roll the PL-12 now lmao

PL-12 is now the only modern ARH missile in the game that can be consistently defeated without notching. The missile is genuinely useless against a competent player and significantly worse than even the AIM-120C5. Trajectory so stable the missile does not turn anymore :D

PL-15 experience before PL-15 is crazy

The current situation is that under high dynamic pressure (aka IAS), the PL-12 cannot generate sufficient pitch moment to achieve the needed angle of attack. As a result, its maximum load factor at low altitude is capped at around 21g at about Mach 2.1, and any deviation below or even above this speed leads to a drop in available g‑load.

Devs cooked so bad that I’m having food poisoning right now.

Disgusting.

PL-15 extraordinary stable missile for hit 300 kilometer so we do not believe ability for overloading in excess 12g required. Mainly for hit cargo aircraft such as raphel. We adjusting overload with some excess for avoidance of player complaint.

The only differences between the PL-15 and the PL-12A are smaller wings and a longer radome.

What no?

Isn’t pl-15 skinnier/smaller diameter compared to pl-12/a

Looks like release aim120c5. You could out roll that thing as well within like 5km

Thats the base PL-12 too lmao

this is the base PL-12. and with the 120C-5 now you can’t outroll it at the same range you can now both PL-12s

No. Check it once again.
