PL12 has been weakened excessively

i believe the stabilizers are the center fins not the rear as rear fins would be referred to as control surfaces. i believe the CM is represented as the black cross between the stabilizers. similar to the AMRAAM as shown here

for reference the aim-120’s have a CM .175m from stabilizers.

should but they only changed the stat card on the sd10a
now someone could do a bug report saying that the statcard of the sd10a isnt displaying its actual performance

The currently available overload for PL12/SD-10A is only 24-25G

no this is related to actual performance if my memory correct, its like a speed wall.

I don’t get it. Why would the distance from the center of gravity to the stabilizers affect the missile’s angle of attack? Theoretically, a shorter distance to the stabilizers means the control surfaces generate a larger pitch moment…

You can defenitly feel the better stability but also the worse pull

Gaijin when they cant make a missile that is both stable and pulls be like:

absoluely unhinged it got hit with the bs aim120 nerf too

Worse than amraam. Even at high energy, the current PL-12 can only pull around 20g, making its turning capability under high‑speed launch conditions inferior to that of the AIM‑120D.

doesnt it still pull better than amraam?

no

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
