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

Could you perhaps do some range tests between them as well?
last i checked the datamine, pl12 for whatever reason had identical seeker stats to the aim54… dunno if thats bad or good compared to the other fox3’s. Pl12 is constantly missing and loosing track… Like its going for chaff. Its so bad i dont expect to get a kill from them even at like 5km range. I should have known they’d be like this

FOX-3’s chase decoys like moths chase lamp. The new missiles are honestly trash.

Well at least moths don’t chase the light through walls
Looks like gaijin buggered it
Didn’t they nerf its fin AOA recently? Probably to give it better ranged performance? Either way, it doesn’t make sense that at Mach ~1.7 its performing worse than AMRAAM in G-pull, since that’s like, the ideal speeds for the gridfins to maneuver.

On the contrary, they worsened the AoA from 40 to 36 degrees
That’s what I mean, that change should reduce drag over time yeah? (The fins don’t move as much)
But then that hurts turning performance, which already seems to not be anywhere near correct
This does not affect the drag in any way.It is set by only one coefficient of CK, although there should be at least 4

Question, if a missile goes pitbull but then loses lock and goes back to IOG, does it also still receive datalink information or is it shut off once pitbull?
I’m curious if hard locking a target would produce better results where aircraft radar still has a good lock and can basically fully guide a missile in whether the missile seeker acquired the target or not.
