short answer you dont
The AIM 120 uses PD radards, you cant track hovering targets with it, only if the heli would be rushing forward
this video explains it well just with vtol abusing harrier

Only because Helicopter radar signatures are modeled improperly

i know, still he asked why in the game
if you are lucky they gonna fix that next update with the new helicopter models
In air rb I mainly use TWS mode. Spamming AIM-120 from elevated position towards promising TWS brackets gives consistent kills. In GRB helis give no radar return, strangely.
missle behaviour itself is PD doesnt change that. ARB will always have moving targets besides the occasional rare vtol hovering

Damit, was hoping its possible to lob AIM120 towards helis which are covered by Pantsirs. Otherwise its really hard to engage them.
cope, they’ll never fix it
Tranche 1 Block 5 has initial ground attack capability (Litening and Paveway II)
No dumb bombs on any Eurofighter (afaik the canards block the pilots vision)

Did u guys saw the leaks for the next update? we still dont know if they are real or not but having in mind previous leaks were accurate , watching how Sweeden gets F18 and France an Early version of Eurofighter but yet Germany isnt in the list is mind blowing 💀i hope this is a joke and they are not real

1- Leak lists real or fake never contain even 50% of the coming vehicles.
2- That one is fake.

i hope so
fake as it gets
There’s a j15 and a rafale, that’s obviously fake.
I think they should give the swiss F18 to germany.
J-15 and Rafale are plausible.
The air portion of the list is likely all wishlist, but the big names are all plausible.
Blame F-15C MSIP II for being in the game already.
Kinda a jump though, like if we got the f16 a and then the v. Shouldn’t we get the rafale c and the j11b first?
J-11B and J-15 seem to use the same radar exactly.
And Rafale M is the naval version, that’s it.
Rafale uses F Number for more nuanced variants, which I learned last week.
And Rafale is limited to 6 missiles for quite a while.
Yeah but the j11b only gets pl12’s and the Rafale c doesn’t get the pesa radar. But yeah the j15 and rafale m are both naval so that’s a bit of a theme.
PESA radar is on all Rafales from initial production to its AESA changes later on.
And J-15 also “only” gets PL-12s. BRs dictate the aircraft compatible with the missile platforms Gaijin wants.
On top of that, PESA with only 6 missiles, especially since PESA is very much NOT “obviously superior” to mechanical PD radars, it’s a probable good test platform.
Obviously Mig-31 would be better since its radar missiles are dogwater, but this is all rumor besides Mig-31’s dogwater missiles.
The rafale c is pre-production, and j15 gets pl10’s and pl15’s. Though it could also carry pl12’s and pl8’s so it could be added with the worse missiles and upgraded later on.
I’m pretty sure there are some pretty significant advantages to PESA radars over mechanical ones, especially when it comes to finding targets.
