Both aforementioned missiles are situation-favored, which is a strong characteristic for an ARH and basically every missile back to the very AIM-9Bs.

Which situation favors aim-120A/Bs?

Long range? pray your target is alt+tabbing so it doesn’t literally do anything to get kinematically away from it (as any ARH tbf)
Medium range? you get notched as the width is quite generous.
Close range? No pull at all to achieve anything.

The only comfort zone 120A/Bs have are suprise shots (as most of ARHs) and medium to long range shots, and even then its unreliable and it depends on enemies mistakes, not your correct actions. I don’t get this general cryouts of AIM-120C coming other than ru mains feeling threatened from their recent return to dominance on the BVR ground.

They would add the Vietnamese roundel after I bought the flag.

Tbh it does depend, R77-1s are better at close range, but at close range just about everything else has a flight model advantage, close range at top tier is a death sentence

Define close range. Sub 10 km, the ARMAAM is still quite good, and better than the PL-12 because of the longer range. It’s literally only bad below 3km, but it’s not even that bad there.

Because one of the best planes in the entire game is getting a huge buff, and somehow you blame the complaining on Russian mains?? I swear every US main is so blinded by their own biases that they are physically incapable of seeing objective balance. No the Su-30 isn’t some OP killing machine, and no the F-15E doesn’t need C-5s.

How is it balanced that only the US gets the best missile?
How is it fair to other nations still using artificially nerfed missiles (AAM-4, MICA, PL-12, R-77-1)?
This top tier meta is genuinely balanced with a high amount of parity between all nations, and Gaijin is going to ruin it by making the US the best nation for the billionth time because they weren’t the best for a single update (despite being still competitive).

So all of that justifies the US needing to be on top by miles again? Instead of going for the C1 or C3? And where was russia on top in BVR?

For me, no problem if gajin decompression BR to 14.3 (Air AB, RB & SB mode) for fighter aircraft top tier

But not forgot add AIM-120C-5 (instead AIM-7M) on F-16C Block 50

When gajin add RB28 (AIM-4D Falcon) on J35XS ?

And gajin ready Sniper XR pod for F-15E, F-16C and A-10C for this major update ? 🤔

Has it been specified that, for example, destroying the two launchers from the SLM will result in 3 technical kills? Would it be 2 kills and then the player J’s out of the radar truck? If the radar truck got hit, would it give the kill to the person hitting it?
2 kills for a launcher and radar.
3 kills for both launchers and radar?
Partial reward for destroying?

Well, well well

Looks like GJ raised high expectation among the Swiss people. Looks like there is some expectation that got broken.

GJ always claims to be extremely realistic and is very picky when it comes to bug reports for historical accuracy. Now look at all the mess around the Swiss aircrafts.

  • Hunter F.58A. The skin is way off color. Fonts are incorrect
  • Mirage IIIS C.70, Wrong Radar, wrong fuel tanks, wrong fonts, wrong loadout
  • Tiger F-5E, Wrong fuel tanks, wrong loadout, wrong RWR, wrong fonts
  • F/A-18C (1997 early), Wrong fonts, wrong loadout, no HMD
  • F/A-18C(Upg21 late), Wrong fonts, wrong loadout

This the summary after a few hours. But wait, there is more than can go wrong
There are no cockpits yet. There is plenty of room to leave all Swissness out.

P-16 was such an amazing, detailed, with lot of love created premium. This ones here, straight bluntly copy&paste job.

GJ can contact me if they want to have someone to create some proper skins. I would do them free of charge for the final release …

Less than 3km. We’re talking situations which you can comfortably could be using IR IRCCM stuff, but no one does anyways because getting stuck with a missile that’s incapable to go beyond 5km is a wasted pylon.

Same as you complaining on american mains getting the buff on the main thread. It’s fairgame as long you keep the caricature first.

I’m not a US main, as a matter of fact, i’ve played nations in way more depth than you by instance lol.

In CAS, it completely is, and in CAP its totally capable to make a run for their money to every single plane on its BR range.

Sweden with the F-18C, the US and possibly EFs will get it, it won’t be just the US.

How is it fair that the AIM-120A/MICA/PL-12/AAM-4 got nerfed without a single glimp of documents regarding it?

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

I knew you were biased against US (and its players) as well, you just needed the push to get your actual intentions to the keyboard.

Report is up for the Comanche weapons.

Aim 120s are still one of the best (second only to the aam4 which is slightly better) general purpose fox 3s in the game. Its not a short range god, its not a long range sniper, but it can do everything to a very reasonable degree

…Really?
It objectively is not balanced, it’s not balanced between the other 14.0s.
The EFTs and Rafales are rampaging and the F-15E genuinely struggles against them. The Hornet barely deserves its 14.0 badge.
I honestly think it fair. Would be fairer if it was coupled with decompression, and fixing the MICA/R-77s.

The F-15E already is better at BVR than the EFTs and Rafales.
That’s a fair trade.

We don’t get preorders on console, instead we get the preorder bonuses if we buy the vehicle within two weeks(?) after the patch releases.

Nice UI improvements! Do hope the fictional, though realistic decals used to commemorate anniversaries would get also subdivided per nation, as it is getting quite large and convoluted.

I hope to see more aircraft carriers return on more maps than just the ones listed currently, though at least a start… still baffling why no take-off is made possible though.

…It’s not.
It may be better than the Rafale (which comes with caveats; the Rafale is so broken it can keep notching your missiles and close the distance to murder you), but it’s just not better than the EFT.
The EFT is much more agile.

If your missile is not the best within 3km, then don’t put yourself in that situation.
Su30 absolutely cannot carry it’s weight in grb for cap, its gets bodied by the better handling ravioli and ef2k
As for the C5, only american planes get it. I would be somewhat ok with the hornet getting it but not f15e. If any other nation ends up getting a new missile or one of their other missiles unnerfed, its not bcz the snail wants parity between the f15e and everything else, its bcz we are complaining about this blatant double standard
