This missile has been weakened time and time again. The current AIM-120 missile shows reduced close-range overload capacity, and analytical data indicate that the post-launch overload rigidity is twice as long as that of other missiles.
Aircraft equipped with it are almost entirely at a disadvantage in dogfights.
Although its effective kill range is longer, but I don’t understand how some players can get shot down from over 20 kilometers away, Even when fired at high speeds, there’s still over 20 seconds of reaction time before it hits.
However, in reality, many aircraft simply lack the capability to reach such high speeds, such as the latest F/A-18E. These aircraft fail to utilize the strengths of the AIM-120, but are dragged down by its shortcomings.
yep, absolutely insane how gaijin got away with nuking their fin AOA
they cant even really ever reach their 35G limit now
and the guidance delay is from a source for ejector launched missiles but was also applied to rail launched missiles despite video evidence of rail launched amraams starting to guide before they travel twice their own length
there is evidence of amraams pulling basically off the rail, just 6-8 ft where the forward fins clear the pylon
They are definetly underwhelming. There are many bug reports for them never looked at.
Better be dissatisfied with all arh weaponry and mechanic
At this point i don’t care anymore. I have accepted my fate as a US main which only uses amraam
And they won’t … because a specific nation will feel underpowered if they do.
