Because AIM-54 is bigger /s
That is the only reason I can see why someone would think so.
Are you arguing that the AIM-120C5 should be outperforming the AIM-54C in velocity at range?
nope, but its fun watching you seethe when you lied to yourself that the R-77 was going to be so much better and now that its ingame everyone can see its a fat dud

Are you arguing AIM-120C5 shouldn’t outperform AIM-7MH in velocity at range either?
AIM-120C-5 has many things going for it over the AIM-54. Better propellants, more condensed electronics, better guidance laws, higher fuel mass ratio to total mass and I might be missing some other factors. AIM-120C-5 has several things going for it. I’m not concluding either way, I’m completely open to the possibility of AIM-54 having higher velocity at range but it doesn’t seem pragmatic to definitively conclude it does.

can you add R-27R for test? (to compare with r-77)
You’re a dumb person. Don’t you see the coefficient graph?

We have the guidance time and max known impact range for the 54A (~204km/160s) which gives an average velocity of 1.275km/s.
We have the claimed max range for the 120C5, and there is the in-game claimed 120s of guidance time (unsure if this is the real guidance time, it being higher would actually be worse for the missile range-wise), which gives an average velocity of 0.875km/s.
For the two to even match in average velocity, the C5’s range would have to be underclaimed by 60km (putting it into the AIM-120D claimed performance territory) or the claimed battery life would have to be ~82sec (effectively unchanged from that of the 120A). Both seem rather dubious…
As for guidance, the C5 likely has better guidance laws yes, but we KNOW the 54C has improved guidance over the 54A due to it having a completely new all digital guidance computer instead of the previous analog guidance section, which IT DOES NOT in-game, making it immediately erroneous.
Also, glad to have you immediately arguing in bad faith with that AIM-7MH strawman lmao

That math doesn’t work because you are using the maximum launch range with a target flying towards you. So for a 203 km launch the missile flies a lot less than 203 km (horizontally at least).

Fair enough, my mistake on that point im a bit tired atm. Either way, the 120C5 outperforming the 54C at range in velocity seems questionnable at best, and its REALLY easy to fix that ingame by a aimple adjustement to the guidance code of the ingame 54C.
What is the differences in claimed max range for AIM-120A and AIM-120C-5? (Irl)
Therefore, for the R-77, it seems that the close-range maneuverability is not as good as that of the 120A, although the grid fin and 50G overload.
MICA is the best, which is to be expected.The TVC can produce a large overload when just launched.

The derby wanted to become a space shuttle.
I see Derby/R-Darter went to do it’s anti-satelite duty as always
Keeping the skies (and stars) extra clear :)))
Derby would be good if not the fact that over 16km it goes vertical

I don’t see 50G for the R-77
