Because slightly uprated radar missiles are less problematic than nearly unavoidable IIR missiles. Think, bro, think.
Sweden operates a different AMRAAM variant to the AIM-120D and even if it got that one, the Meteor dwarfs both in performance so they can wait a while. Israel is technically USA 2.0 so probably? Though I hope they get the I-Derby ER instead
Ah gotcha, thought y’all may have some more sway than we do.
So are y’all strictly volunteers then? Thought y’all would be under Gaijin itself but the more I talk to people, the more it seems like Gaijin is completely out of touch with the community’s voice.
Its pathetically expected that AIM-120Ds will follow the longer range and slightly faster formula they’re following… but pulling like 10Gs at this point given the AIM-120s progression in-game.
If AIM-120A/Bs currently pull around 30ish Gs even with a good energy profile, and AIM-120C-5 takes four fiscal years on pulling those same 30Gs…
I genuinely don’t understand why Gaijin keeps adding modern vehicles and equipment when the game is missing a LOT. Hell, Leopards and Abrams still don’t have any means of lead track but Gaijin gave the T-series IRST. At least balance it out with giving the lead track IRST instead
Honestly, unless they give this version the same seaker as MICA i dont think this missile will be better than the AIM-120A/B except for BVR (kinda useles because everyone knows how to notch in BVR)
Ngl they dont need one
MICAs absolutely shred and are basically a guaranteed hit once you lock
SU30SM2 doesnt need anything extra being able to fire in a notch and outpace an F15E
Eurofighters are the best BVR jets in game right now and will be unless the next plane is the EX
Imo thr Aim-120D should only stay in america and never be handed out, thats why the F-15E is in the sad unusable state its in now
Why should they get the same seeker as MICA? Did Raytheon and MBDA collab on missile seeker tech before this? There is literally no precedent that this is or will ever be possible.
That would be nice. But I can’t even get the Bug Moderators to accept that the AH-1G/Tzefa A/Tzefa B gunsight being defaulted to the chin turret being wrong (even though I gave them the literal flight manuals that say the sight is boresighted to the pylon stores and the chin turret control is a secondary, backup feature). They literally just go “this is not a bug”
