Of course, you need skill to use any missiles. Look at you, you don’t even know the range of an AIM-120
1: Please use correct grammar.
2: Yes, the ADATS is hopeless against the Su-34, but that’s the same for Pantsyr against F-15E’s.
3: ADATS is fully capable of intercepting A2G munitions
1: What range.
2: Rear aspect shots on aircraft are not a good idea, unless it’s sub 3-5km, and that’s pushing it too.
God. Amraam is good, yes it has better range, but why does range matter if none of the missiles are capable of striking at 20 km, Mica is simply superior, it is multi-beam resistant, unlike aim120.
The AIM-120 is no longer the missile it was at the time of the patch; it has already been nerfed several times in the name of balance.
Skill issue. The AMRAAM is fully capable of hitting 35km shots regularly.
Secondly, ALL MULTIPATH HEIGHTS ARE THE SAME, AT 60M. THERE IS NO MULTIPATH RESISTANT RADAR MISSILES. Unless you’re talking about the Phoenix or Fakour, which have bigger warheads which sometimes cause splash damage, BUT THEY AREN’T MULTIPATH RESISTANT. The AMRAAM is the best Fox-3 in game, period.
She’s not exactly capable. The rocket is so nerflin that now it has even stopped causing fatal damage and just critical damage. In my last battle I had 2 AIM-120 hits and all were critical without a kill. In the end, just help.
Many people are already complaining about the helplessness of the AIM-120, even bloggers.
The AIM-120 is far from the best FOX-3. They were slowed down by the fact that the Su-27s were already moving away from them in a straight line. Once again, the AIM-120 that was at the time of release and the AIM-120 that is now are two different missiles.
Absolute state of US mains.

See this dude firing an AIM-120 at a target over 40 km and crying that it’s not going to reach the target.
By what parameters? How did we understand that range no longer plays a role, maybe speed or overload G? Well, we have Mika in the game, which has better characteristics than the AIM-120.
It doesn’t matter from what distance you fire them. The only advantage of the AIM-120 is the distance in TWS. But in close combat, TWS does not work, you have to switch to close air combat, and because of this, the radar is full of traps and all sorts of garbage, it is very difficult to quickly capture the target, you will constantly be locking the missile, then the traps, and the rolls will do it for you already will be shot down.
And also, why does the AIM-120 receive a startup notification when starting the AIM-120 in Track while scan mode?
Of course, you don’t use TWS for close combat; use the HMD for that. skill issue. Every uptier US plane has a damn good radar. If you think they’re not good, try Russia. Those things can’t even lock a target within 10 km sometimes.
@Axzuel would like to have a word with you and your claim, specifically with the F-15A (he has the most relatable video about that ‘damn good radar’ and its great refresh rate).
I tried Russia, and having IOG+DL from the very R-27R turns out to be such a good feature that you can in fact change targets right after launch, a capability i think no other nation is able to pull out.
Blame the radar’s wankieness all you want, though you eventually get R-27ERs, which are very advanced missiles on both raw persomance-wise and technology-wise to overcompensate that weakness.
We are talking about FOX-3s, not FOX-2s.A ctually, they are better than the R-77.
Have you ever tried the Su-27SM
Well, no one is going to use TWS in that thing, and I’m talking about the F-15E, F-16C, AV-8B, and F-15 MCCIP 2.
Lol, lmao even. Nobody except American mains say that the AMRAAM is bad. It’s far from it. The AMRAAM has the longest range out of all Fox-3’s excluding the Fakour. And for your little critical hits, they were either multipathing and it splash damaged them, or they were already hit by another AMRAAM and thus severed. American mains are just helpless man, you give them the most powerful top tier for 6 months and they still fuck it up.

Average American main looking at the statcard and basing knowledge off of that.

The post originally asks about AGMs, the fact you guys started moving the goalposts towards fox-3 is as invalid as allegedly my point, so even if i deflected your original argument, at least both takes are out of topic given your logic.
You can always check my profile, but I already started spading it, its radar is not the end of the world. Having lesser refresh freq. than NATO radars has never been a real downside like the lack of HMS mode on the F-15A, Mirage 4000, Tornados or Harriers, to name a few examples.
TWS and RAM are not equals, as RAM requires a hard lock (and the respective RWR track alert) prior to set RAM mode.
Idk who you try to fool at all, but certainly no one with enough experience in the game will believe your points without either being a hypocrite or purposefully disingenuous.

This thread has been horribly derailed. The subject line is for the KH-38’s, of which there are already a lot of threads.
There are planned air defense vehicles for 2025 which should help deal with CAS. No, the KH-38 will not be nerfed “just because”. If you think it needs to be changed, you need to submit a bug report with supporting documentation.
There isn’t really anything else to discuss here. If you want to discuss AMRAAM performance, take it to another thread. I’'ll be locking this one.
