New incoming missiles! Old meta ruined?

So AIM-120D and PL-12A just got mentioned and will be added in the future with new aircrafts, with a new visually/statistically different engine for the J-10C (WS-10).

My question comes to ask all the currently toptier players: Do u think this 2 new missiles will perform a lot better than the current metas (R-77-1/MICA-EM)? Give ur explanation.

AIM-120D no

This probably

so AIM-120D goes in a straight line, PL-15 turns, R-77M turns asf and IRIS-T transforms into a sketch?

IRIS-T starts following itself

PL-12A going to be the new meta.

The power of the MICA and the range of an AIM-120.

And about AIM-120D, I do not have faith in any of these familimy of missiles

i dont think the PL-12A is going to be meta as long as its only on the J10C which has abysmal fuel efficiency, countermeasure count and radar gimbal limits. new missiles wont change the fact that you’ll still have to play around these downsides

right missle, wrong platform

To early to say

We dont know anything about how either will actually be modeled kinematically or what their seekers look like.

We dont even know what airframes they will appear on.

it has thrust vectoring???

btw, what if they would add R-77M1? i asked it in a video of MatAWG and a random started yapping and insulting me saying im so bad with the SM2 that i need a new and better missile, that SM2 is OP and that if i struggle with R-77-1s then i have a huge and discomunal skill issue and blahblah.

like how good would it be to make a random on Internet start crying about it?

J-10C going to receive an engine buff. Also they can carry lot of these missiles (same amount of radar missiles as the F-15E) while having the maneuvrability of a light fighter jet.

Even if you dont like it, you still have the J-11 platform and such flanker copies.

i wasn’t asking it to him, i literally said “R-77M1 for Su-30SM2 when?” like a public/joke question and looks like a random took it WAY personal.

and btw i like his content. most of the time he just makes random videos every single hour but at least notifies me about important things like the J-10C buff and the this new thing of the PL-12A.

Ah, i miss read, my bad

no i agree with you. his content is the brainrot of warthunder. not to mention because his goal is to pump out content faster than anyone else, the quality is extremely poor and it just devolves to rambling most of the time.

I wish youtube had a block button

Oh, I’m not taking back what I said about me calling him the R-word, I just interpreted that he asked MatAWG and MatAWG started insulting him.

His content is not better than AI slop

and u think i don’t know that?
btw i believe saying his content is trash is enough, no need of insulting him. if u would saw my YT videos u would also say the same.
