So we have the AIM-120 A/B is it possible we’ll receive the AIM-120C AMRAAM in the final major update as well?
No? It’ll come long before the final major update… years prior.
Its probable it will come sooner rather than later. Im guessing it will be a key way to how they’ll balance BVR jets like the F-15 vs WVR/BVR jets like the Typhoon. Im guessing December though and not Sep or Oct updates
I think he meant final major update of this year
I meant if we will receive them this upcoming update
I doubt it so soon, Aim-120A/B are doing just fine and so are their carriers. The only exception being the Tornado F3 which could get and perhaps do with, Aim-120C5s. But beyond that. They are unneeded. I can see them coming with the Typhoon/Rafale as I said as a buff for other nations and that I susspect will be December

Unlikely, we might see some changes to the current fox 3s in-game, some buffs, etc. But hopefully they add it in December update, we’ll see.
The Aim-120C series is a bit strong (especially range and tracking wise, and the C-8 is a monster…) we would need later variants of other missiles to be introduced alongside it.
I’m sure it won’t be long before we get later and later missiles, I mean hell, the F-15C MSIP II we have ingame can carry the Aim-9X lmfao
Britain? Getting good missiles before the yanks?
Tornado will end up with them the same time as the yanks, if Gaijin even bother adding them to it. C5s aren’t really needed even with those other airframes, unless by some miracle gaijin unfucks mica alongside giving both eurofighter and rafale proper armament.
I would say it will come alongside R77-1s although with the R77s being so retarded I don’t seem to see a reason why R77-1s can’t come now. It should be added alongside PESA and AESA radars like typhoon, F15E, J10C, Rafael and F16s with AESA. The only problem is we are treading on shallow waters as the stats for these vehicles are almost completely classified, (hence why I skipped J10B cause all we know is it had PESA radar, no specifications).
To my understanding of reading the J-11 thread, no one has proof that it uses a PESA radar
J10B not J11, J11B late like BG uses ESA radar cause it’s 2019 stuff…
J11B early uses 1493 I think although I am not sure on specifications. Some argues not to say I agree with them it is maximum like APG63V1 but it is mainly developed through out and later than J8F which was about APG63 V1 capabilities.
Typhoon doesn’t get a AESA radar till later variants. First several would still be mechanical,.though will still be one of the better radars in game.
R-77-1 is possible before Aim-120C5s. Wouldn’t be the first time soviets had an AAM advantage over everyone else
It would not be an advantage over 120A/B, it would just be on par

This is Gaijin we are talking about. It would never be “on-par” because then ARB would be balanced
Imagine the F-15EX with x12, AIM-120C-8
We already have R-77-1 stats in the game. It is in the files. Same everything with R-77, just %10 more thrust.
The official number for the F-15EX is a total count of 22 Aim-120D AMRAAMs… jeez this things a monster
R-77-1 is complete domination over the AIM-120A/B in every single way
And AİM-120A dominates R-77 in energy in everything that matters except “muh turning”
While also
F-15/16 have
Better radar
Better flight models
Better energy retention
Than MİG-29SMT/SU-27
God forbid these garbage aircraft have just 1 single good thing about them.
Checks squadron:
“United States Special Operations”
Couldn’t be more obvious

I’m not opposed to having R-77-1 added, just wanted to clarify that the R-77-1 is better than AIM-120A/B in every metric. Not sure if I misunderstood you, but the statement that the R-77-1 is on par with AIM-120A/B isn’t true. Also, I would be careful making any assumptions about my intentions behind my statements.
