Any info about the “real” max range? Basic sources say 200km, but that seems too low, even before that figure of 100km in 90s. Even D-3 can kinda sneak into these ranges
Please use only english here, Otherwise go to;

AIM120D with 185km of range will be interesting…
where i dont see it anywhere
and how ?
You look at the 120B and 120C under preforming and think the 120D won’t?

How is GNSS gonna help?
GNSS only provides the data of X,Y coordinates but not the Z-axis information
Most sources say “…exceeding 200 km” although the “real” max range is probably around ~250 km. The “fuelled” or still-powered max range we can estimate to be ~200 km and the rest is kinematic (~50 km), which lines up.
In WT terms 50 km shots may be more viable than with the current C-5, so… fun times :D
If I had to guess, putting coordinates in the sky (which the current implementation of GNSS is capable of currently) means the missile should fly most of the time in thin air + IOG+DL having near-zero “drift” which should translate into the missile losing a bit less energy during flight. At least, that’s what I think it is. Oh, and there’s also the possibility of being able to launch and go cold since the missile “knows where it is” and “where it should be” (just about, anyways) a bit better.

I like your idea
sounds like what US Air IRL are using as well
launched from A and guided by B
Planes get GNSS missiles but Artillery tanks still have to operate with direct fire :(

add AIM-9M to F-14B

how is artillery going to do indirect fire even on the largest maps?
150x normal countermeasures and 45x large CM, but at least it has MAWs.
The EFT dogs on the F-16C too in terms of flight performance so even if it had the better engine it wouldn’t make a massive difference.
give it the the sparrow P too

not happening
I hope they add a plane that won’t instantly become the worst 14.7 jet, which the F-16C PoBIT would be.
idk, turn the area into unhabitable zone - zoning?
F-15EX would really be the on thing that can be sort of comparable to other top tier planes
(Obviously others will be better)
Like it will have full spherical rwr and possibly MAWs

It’s a shame because I would really like to see the F-16C PoBIT at 14.0-14.3, but I have a feeling that Gaijin will go “AIM-120D = 14.7”. Where it just gets dunked on by everyone.
