do they say that the Mica travels more than 60km or do they say it can hit a target at 60km?
because there is a difference between the two of them
what is “TRAVELED DISTANCE” means?

another E-Journal, about Mirage-2000 send to Ukraine:
another one, from india this time:
But hey,… gaijin have been setting MICA-EM to be 50km,… (surely because 80km = 50miles)
other games set this same missile to be 70km-80km:
DCS, even if it’s only AI start shooting at you before 80km with MICA-EM’s if you’re going straight at them

oh, so you think that if you can fire it, it can reach it?

yes it does
NOPE! I can use several other missiles in-game and show how it’s not able to.
red symblogy only shows that you’re missile is actively tracking, that’s sensor able to track.

travel distance =/= launch distance

You shot a Missile FROM 80km range, to an aircraft closing on you, with a Speed of about 540m/s:
the missile is shot at 7s in the video, HIT at 1:06 = 59 seconds of time:
target was at 80000- (540*60) = 80000-32400 = 47600 m range → not 80km, and under 50km of Max-range indicated in the game.

excatly what i’m saying - gaijin is currently missing the fact that Operationnal range means to be able to reach 80km, not to reach a target coming from 80km.
and then, AIM-120 in game should be able to be fired from much more range than the 80km advertised on the game Statcard.

where does it say that ngl
You didn’t show me anything suggesting the missile travels 80kn
The term “Operational Range” refers to the scope or extent within which a system, device, organization, or process can effectively function or perform its intended tasks . It is a versatile concept used across various fields, including technology, military, business, and science.
Operational range means the distance a vehicle can travel under long haul transport conditions without being re-charged or re-filled, as provided for in point 1.3.

So at what range is it launched then?
80km, and reached 47.6km - not 80km
AIM-120B’s range are given for 80km, and so you can shoot at 80km, or higher ranges (close to 110km) when an ennemy closes on you?
Same thing here: watch Wiki’s:
MICA-EM given for 80km
AIM-120B given for 70km
but with your (and gaijin) ways to see things, the MICA-EM is a 50km traveled range, and AIM-120B is 80km traveled range.
Isn’t that is a Double standard?!
