How long will Aim120 be dominant?

show me where are the lies and cope? BVR is completely dead, works only on noobs who bought the premium F18
and any closer R27ER with its COMPLETELY made up kinetics goes so fast and turns so hard you stand no chance with your aim120 especially if they couple it with a r27et

r27er does not beat aim120, aim120 is not useless, russia doesn’t dominate, bvr is still being done every match, wvr amraam still works until like within 4km

r27er does beat aim120 its much faster and turns better, and anyone who does BVR will realize that their aim120s dont hit anyone except lvl 8s in premium f18.

incorrect, being active means you can just notch instantly or go cold, r27er requires lock at least a decent % of the travel time including the last 10-20% of travel at least

this doesnt matter, its not an active missile

and whats the difference with russia?

This has to be bait

try flying a su30 with half 27er half 27et and try firing both at once at targets <16km and you will notice a kill is almost guaranteed while aim120 is easily countered.

yeah I wasnt born yesterday, this is still easily avoided if you aren’t letting people fire on you in the first place or just by notching/multipathing and flaring

my 120s have a high kill rate

meh cant argue with concrete, with your logic of JuSt NoTch,MulTiPatH,FlArE aT OnCe all missiles are useless.

im not concrete for disagreeing with you, you aren’t infallible, hell you aren’t even good

literally not difficult, r27et has very weak irccm (about 66% as effective as r73) and is basically a 1 flare outside of 4km or rear aspect. R27ER is just R27ER, you’ve had to learn how to avoid it since 11.7 so if you haven’t figured it out by now it’s on you

R27ER literlally broke the game and still is also overperforming

its kinematics are just purely fake

Also possibly the DL should disable after the first connection is broken or something

yeah, people like the dude above think that r27er not being fox3 makes it completely useless when you have to notch aim120 but this has IOG, DL and can be relocked as many times as you want
and it can pull unrealistic turns

RU main probably like
“How dare you’re supposed to stuck with 9L while we having R-73”

thats literally what happened lol, aim9l vs r73
and they added r27er because “plane bad” which dominated the game for years

Its highly situational. But there is an argument for both sides.

In a longer ranged joust the a true fox-3 can just be forgotten about but eventually an R-27ER slinger will need to turn hot again and re-acquire the lock.

But in shorter ranged shots or if the situation allows. Then R-27ERs can be very deadly. Like launching and guiding mostly by IOG to avoid any RWR pings until the last few seconds.

In the GR4 in SB where I can find myself against both Mig-29/Mig29Gs and F-4F ICEs within the same match though. I fear the Mig-29s far far more.

Nah… 4x R-73 + 2x R-27R was considered to be OP when the Mig-29 and F-16 were first added (they were right)

So instead it came with 4x R-60M + 2x R-27ER. as much as fighting R-27ERs sucked, especailly in BVR trucks like the F3. R-73s in that situation would have been worse.

But I wish they just hurried up and reset the Mig-29s weapons and made them historically accurate now its not an issue. Then adjust its BR to whatever is apporpriate

in SB r27e is probably the deadliest missile, especially if they fire both radar and ir version at you
radar one will trigger rwr ping which will atleast alert you but the IR + IRST is just almost certain death especially with how fast its going and that its basically unflarable at 5km rear aspect

Yeah I’ve been caught out a few times in the Typhoon by the ETs. But thankfully we now have PD MAWS
