How about buff Aim-120?
Aim-120 Seeker Range
AIM-120A - Missing re-target option
AIM-120A & B - Performance against manoeuvring targets too poor
AIM-120A & B - Max range against non-manoeuvring targets too low
AIM-120 Reduced Smoke Motor
(And this is just what I could find on the bug report website quickly)
Now MICA has a unique seeker that is much stronger than everyone else and the Su-30SM is slinging of 12x R-77-1s. I think its time we see Aim-120 buffed up to IRL levels, instead of artificially holding it back any longer.
And thats without even mentioning a reduction in MP height further. I’ve seen someone say before that AMRAAM should be 40m not 60m

No ARH missiles should be nerfed or buffed until proper decompression is done.

i already asked for decompression
but the decompression isn’t here, so all i can do is to come here
And we don’t need to cause more by forcing planes down in BR because their ARH missile is less effective.
13.7/14.0 is genuinely balanced and there is parity between all the nations (with a couple exceptions). I don’t want Gaijin to ruin that right away.

unneeded, save for the derby/darter and to an extent the base r77 (and even these are mostly fine) every other fox3 right now is basically equal for most practical situations. MICA gets rid of long range capability to be the best up close, amraam does the best bvr but is the worst up close, and everything else falls somewhere inbetween the two
balanced? so 12 updated R-77 and 8 AMRAAMs falling from the Stratosphere is balanced?
Blame that on the design of ARB.

if AIM-120 doesn’t need nerf, then why everybody says that it is the 1# ARH missile?
Because 85% of people/nations use AMRAAM and so defacto it gets blamed for everything.
Same reason why people claim Aim-9M is the best IRCCM missile but Id actually argue its only stronger in very niche situations at the moment and compared to Magic II and R-73 is much weaker in most situations where you would be wanting to use an IR missile over a ARH missile.
Aim-120 is only strongest when talking about pure long range BVR combat. The moment the fight switches to short-medium range. MICA and R-77-1 take over being stronger by quite a bit. Even PL-12 could be argued to be stronger than AMRAAM at shorter ranges
But there is nothing too nerf. It already is nerfed.

R-77’s energy retention is nerfed cuz it has that bullshit grids in the tail
Well said, I agree.

and i got killed by many AIM-120B launched at 3km or less
So make a post to buff R-77 instead of artificially nerfing Aim-120.
Otherwise I could say, remove TVC from the R-73 because its unfair the Aim-9M doesnt have TVC.

curiously, i could agree
Then lets make all missiles and vehicles perform exactly the same.

Maybe a post to improve the RCS of aircraft and have them be dynamic relative to the angle of such attacking missile.
Therefore balance.
The F-117 added a lot of RCS related code, so im hoping that they start rolling out both RCS reduction stuff and better overall RCS modeling
