Lofting honestly helps more then drag for sustaining energy at really long range shots. The drag is too large, yes, but it’s not that insanely much more. It would help a bit for mid range shots, fair, i suppose that’s more important for most people anyways, but it’s not gonna magically make the R-77 outrange the AMRAAM, it’s max range would actually be a bit worse honestly.
Don’t think so, especially when target does anything but fly straight.
If you look on statshark of any missile launch you can see that they end up traveling quite slowly by the farthest ranges they’re getting kills at (the aim-120 is often subsonic for the longest range kills it gets in game). Decreased supersonic/transonic drag will not help it at subsonic speeds. And lofting helps a lot for having energy to hit manuevering targets, as it saves some potential energy for keeping velocity up, as opposed to not lofting, where all you have is your kinetic energy reserve which turning bleeds through fairly fast regardless of the missile.
Again, it would buff the R-77 at mid ranges, and would push out the R-77-1 (which does have lofting) to being a truly long range option. But it won’t make the R-77 suddenly outrange an AMRAAM.
You don’t understand at all? The drag is applied universally at all speeds currently. IRL the fins apply more or less drag at different speed ranges…
I am aware of the shortcomings of WT’s physics engine, and it’s probably why it doesn’t have lower drag tbh.

Ok. Idc. If it’s realistic, we’re good.
I main the U.S but i also have the USSR and Germany, so it doesn’t really affect me
On the contrary, 99% of the posts I see from you are usa whinging

I think this guy issue is not in AMRAAM itself but in the fact that ARH now behave like faster 9M with stronger seeker.
If we nerf the “lock loss IOG guidance” mechanic implemented sometimes ago, it would make fighting ARH less painful because per this post, you can be aware as shit, saw a diamond from 12KM away that blares your RWR and MAW, perfect 94 degree notch, chaff in a “big cloud every 50 meter” pattern, change altitude, twist your balls and all and just to get hit with the current lock loss IOG.
Nerf that and fighting ARH will be similar to fighting IRCCM missile where you have to be aware in the first place to not get killed instead of dying anyway because you didn’t apply a microsecond -G to your control when the missile is exactly 3.11 km away.
shouldn’t it be 90 degrees?
Oh it will , lmao. The forum already in such a shit state because of biased this biased that being thrown around cause of random stuff. God know what will a respective buff to the USSR would do to this already unstabilized forum

eeeh idk, some CC in youtube says perfect 90 is useless now. idk the perfect notch formula anymore after they buffed ARH IOG sometimes between July 24 and March. I stick to 10.7 - 13.0 now.
Idk how realistic it is but the actual notch sector in game is more like 90 to 95 degrees than the 87/93 you think it would be more like
I enjoy playing the U.S tree and i like the American tech. If i see something that’s off and we have sources about it, of course I’ll want that fixed.
I have the option to play other nations too, altough i don’t have sources and other stuff that would hint me about something being wrong with those things.
I don’t want to be biased and say the U.S is the best. That’s why I want fixes for the U.S TOGETHER with fixes for other nations, but as we know, gaijin seems to ignore a lot of bug reports

Intelligent and emotionally secure people will advocate actively for all nations to get what they deserve, not just for the ones they play. That’s a little thing called bias. I do not see this type of advocacy from you.

I don’t have info on other nations. I have no ideea on how they should perform.
As i said, everybody should get their fair, realistic vehicle. At least from a model stand point as weaponary is used to balance them.

Yes and no. They are said to be equivalents, but RN they are worse than AMRAAMs. So either way, they are worse than IRl.
not really? as for the others theyre significantly newer than aim120a so it makes sense they get nerfed. introducing fox 3s with aim120c-7s levels of effectiveness is a pretty bad idea dont you think?
not really
