Yeah cause that like , all they can do. Darter/Derbie/R-77/AAM-4 are mostly mid to close range (even then it can magically lose track under 10km. It is not in the same league, if anything MICA should have been the bar (lol) for those thing.
AMRAAM are still good for BVR. Using them for mid range is still good but close range is like lol lmao even.
Well im aware of that, as I stated: Morvran said the only meaningful advantage the Aim120 has is range, which isn’t true, the derbies and R darters in closer ranges are better but middle to long range amraam will do better than them.
That’s not what I said. I said it’s one of the worse missiles, as in it doesn’t compare very well to most other top tier fox 3 missiles with a couple exceptions
It doesn’t meaningfully go fast enough compared other jets to get away with it, also your radar is far from the best so aircraft can slip by pretty easily
They have higher G-Overloads, making them more effective at closer ranges.
Last time I flew the SAAF Gripen C, the R-Darters were terrible if the target was far away, but if it was in the LSZ, seemed to be very hard to defend against, far harder than AMRAAM are
the difference is that its an artificial nerf to AMRAAMs that gaijin made without any sources, despite sources that state they have a higher G-overload than some other top tier ARH missiles
Yeah, but what I mean is right here right now. In shorter ranged battles, AMRAAM is currently at a disadvantage. Its almost certainly worng, Flame’s reports from 18 months ago have been sat ignored
