Hello everyone, I would like to discuss the performance of the AIM-120C5 missile carried by the FA-18C, F-15E, and EF-2000. According to several recent updates, the performance of the AIM-120C5 is inferior to that of the AIM-120A/B in some scenarios. Detailed descriptions can be found in fully public materials and on Wikipedia. Therefore, I personally believe that the close-range performance of the AIM-120C5 needs to be strengthened to meet the current requirements of air combat performance.
The following are Wikipedia and the PDF of AIM - 120C5, both of which are publicly accessible.
Sadly, too many “R-77-1 is useless compared to OP AIM-120A” people cried way too loud against AIM-120C-5, so now we will get this… thing Gaijin made in an attempt to calm them down and appeal to them.
Meh, I don’t even care anymore. I just won’t play air anymore as I haven’t for months and call it a day.
