How long will Aim120 be dominant?

Then congrats, you are the rare bad player that knows how to notch, not anything else to say

When i hit someone at that range i often surprised and ask to myself how the hell people dying to such range which i found only two type of people die to such range

  1. Base bombing or bomber like tornado
    2.Total clown that don’t even bother listen to RWR
    Ovrall range I achieved kill with amraam is around 15-20km range which other missile can achieve it as well especially MICA

good thing the closure rate is going fast enough that youre quickly in the NEZ. he also can notch your amraams at that range with no problem
it will become WVR regardless with competetive pilots and the r-77-1 will win there

inferior against noobs superior against good players
like aim-54 and r27er, metaphorically

Given such range like 25-30km i bet while you doing that you still can dodge it
There one times i dodge amraam coming at me from 28km (around probably shorter or longer a little) while talking to my mom via phone using one hand on mouse chaff don’t even need it oh i’m in Gripen that time btw
It not super death missile like people here said to be launched in long range it will be easy to defeat it regardless of altitude
Which compare to DCS it’s a different story.

Sometimes I do indeed, hahah.

I take-off, alt-tab… and sometimes, when I go back to the game, I realise RWR had been WEEWOOWEEWOO-ing for God knows how long… so, while chaffing, I gently turn left till the RWR signal is at my 3 o’clock and fly perpendicularly for a few seconds; if I still haven’t lost the lock by the time the signal is coming from my 4-5 o’clock, I do a slow U-turn to the left (putting it at my 6) for it to lose lock, sometimes zigzagging a bit for it to lose energy while notching again, depends on how I’m feeling it. Normally just the first step does the job already.

And 99% of the times, that’s literally all it takes. Wooo, so much for the 50 km launch.

However… what am I suppossed to do when a Rafale I’m onto from behind fires a MICA while I am practically on its 6 and the thing still manages to 360 no-scope me, while my 120s fail to hit the Rafale because it turned a bit too tight for the missile’s taste?

Because they haven’t allowed the latest tanks into ground only tournaments.
Here’s the US


And here’s Germany and Sweden for reference

Those Abrams are clearly better than THAT particular competition, but add the Strv 121s/L2A7s/T-90M/T-80BVM and your narrative falls apart.

Keep raging over us mains on self-made posts instead of poisoning other people’s posts.

Wow! No wonder- this is basically 2019 matchmaking.

And yes; back then, the Abrams was indeed the king.

The Abrams started slowly losing relevance in 2021, and, by 2024, it was already crushed by many of the latest additions.

All Abrams variants have been the exact same thing since 2019 because Gaijin refuses to model the upgrades and advantages of the newest variants they’ve been implemented.

That’s why the Abrams has fallen behind. SEP, SEPv2, A2, HC, AIM… are all the same tank we got back in 2019. Meanwhile, all other nations have been getting substantial upgrades gradually.

So yeah. In 2019 it was the goat. Now that we got half a million Strv 122s, 2A7s, etc… it’s nice, but far from great.

The 5 second reload they got as an emergency measure is the only thing that’s keeping them more or less relevant.

In a compressed BR range, that difference doesn’t even matter, its downtiers aren’t even common.

Grow up.

I play with China, France, Israel, Italy and Sweden in the top tier…
…and I complained about aim120 because it is an unfair missile
the difference between the other missies for him is abysmal.

0.3 definitely isn’t meaningless as pushing M1A2 and HC/CB to 12.0 would help players at 10.7.

Nice derailing of the topic btw

Maybe next time don’t talk about ground units in a thread about 120.

Tell that to Von Valinor that started its “yuh abrums dominates in ground tournaments” bs narrative

I’m telling it to you as you’re the one that’s telling others to stop derailing while you’re doing the same thing.

I’d accept a slight derailment to stop false narratives, rather than pushing it further to 10.7 vehicles that have NOTHING to do to his point.

Talking about M1s and other top tier tanks in a thread about ARHs isn’t just a slight derailment.
Me talking about 10.7s is just a case of me stopping false narratives after seeing people claiming 0.3 difference is meaningless.

Won’t answer again.

that difference doesn’t even matter, its downtiers aren’t even common.

Do you have any valid source for that, or is it just an anecdote ?

Same anecdotes as your word for ‘the Abrams is a good tank, players are the issue’
