Realised there are now boats in RB across a fair few maps, which just further amplifies the frustration of no exocet.

Damn is good, thanks !
Looks like they are adding digital zoom back, that’s nice

Ambitious regarding the BAC but why not?
Eurofighter is under active consideration for the addition of AIM-120C, vote on the poll please if you haven’t already.

At first I thought you are asking people to vote for the addition of AIM-120C to EF :)

120c only advantages it seems compared to 120a/b at the moment with current changes is less drag and more battery. Doesn’t look like it’s going to be that scary.
But also give historically accurate MICA

It should have more thrust and less drag compare to A/B models.

This new rwr/map overlay is supposed to show bandits/ground systems that the sensor fusion picks up correct? IRL it also shows bandits that the radar has picked up on tws as well, showing their LNP in the flight computer.
This will make notching very easy in sim if it can show incoming rwr launches and show the missile in real time it as approaches the aircraft as spectra’s sensors track incoming threats.
telling the pilot if the threat is radar or infrared guided.
“eventually allowing us to engage targets simply by locking hostile pings from the data computer as spectra allows IRL.”
Similar to these depictions.

Probably because the missile is still work in progress
If it actually performs like it should irl, it is a big upgrade over the current AIM-120s we have in the game.
Then again Gaijin might artificially nerf the range to keep some semblance of “balance,” you never know how exactly they operate.
I’ve not followed the C5 introduction that much. Isn’t its current range (compared to the A/B) better in game ? Iirc, the C-5 should be around 120-130km max range (currently lock range is 120), while I believe A/B should be around 100km.
How far are they underperforming in range ? Is it like the MICA who is missing a significant portion of its range (along the line of 40% from memory) ?
Otherwise, the C5 has smaller fins and higher acceleration, so a worse turning radius than the A/B accordingly, but is turning directly off the rail. That’s most of the differences between the A/B and C5 I believe. How is it in game ?

The Data mine from yesterday shows they are increasing the guidance delay from 0.3 seconds to 0.6 seconds. Which is the same as Aim-120A/B
iirc, it should have virtually no delay
apparently had 5G more pull IRL and so should be doing 40G, not 35G
Going by:
So I think they might just be inventing a made up Aim-120C5 to fill some tiny niche upgrade for the F-18s and F-15s
Now that I have checked the datamine, it seems that they made a somewhat fictional variant which has slightly better range, but with more pull so it is better in WVR combat. But nevertheless it is still a decent
upgrade.
It’s important to note that Gaijin might change more about it in dev server updates. Maybe in a day or two it’ll get much better range, like it would do irl.
Very good rendition of mfd’s and function of internal electronic components of the Rafale. https://youtu.be/F-W0VNLCd3Q?si=4-RAj0huiezDcBMb

I think theyre just making a “fixed” 120A that theyre calling 120C cuz they dont wanna screw up the balance at 13.0

Ah that sucks…was really hoping to have a short range alternative
Cough cough “KH38MT”” cough cough….
It seems they only care about balance when it comes to western vehicles/weaponry.

Nope Too OP. Look at the advantage you get now on all those night air battles we have :P
