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?!

Exactly what I demonstrated

i think he means at a stationary target at 80 km, kinda like how mica vl has a 20km range against (I think?) a stationary target

That doesn’t make any sense and that is not how a2a missiles are tested

Unless he shows something that proves that this is how France tested their missile, there is nothing suggesting that the mica is majorly underperforming

pretty sure its underperforming under the mica vl launch conditions (0 speed 0 alt)

What i’m showing is that Gaijin uses (like you do) a different method for French missile and US missiles:

IRL ADVERTIZED RANGES of both AIM-120B and MICA-EM are 70-80km
YET IN GAME: the AIM-120A reaches 80.6km Traveled Distance and MICA-EM only reaches 50.6km

therefore, Gaijin is using (as you do) a Double standard.

  • Missiles are defined by the Range they are REACHING, and not firing From, as demonstrated with AIM-120.

OR, and this would chnages how the game is played at lower BR - SUPER530D Missiles should be able to fire from 80km range and reach their target aswell. (and Super 530F from 65km)


Ah,… double standards,… the way to nerf the best systems of the world.

0 speed launch. not majorly underperforming tho. idrc bout range, just the maneuverability part. although, the way gaijin modeled the entire missile is wrong tbh.
