In game? or IRL?
Im assuming hte current performance on the dev server is wrong. A missile with less drag and more sustainer will obviously have better range
But if its just WVR performance, then it should stil come to the Typhoon, because the lack of a WVR missile on the Typhoon is a major issue
in game the range is less. you are using the same arguement everyone who wants more stuff is saying. “it has better range in real life therefore i should have more in game” when the missile in game isnt like it is in real life.
just like the mica the 120c isn’t realistic. its that was for a reason
That’s a pretty terrible argument to make. You just want to accept without issue a weapon being incorrectly modelled? And if you believe the 120C should be worse than the 120B in-game what’s the problem with the Typhoon getting access to a downgrade of a weapon it already has?
Gaijin specifically added the C-5 block whose main upgrade was an improved boost-sustain motor for approximately 50% increased range over the 120B. They chose this over the C-3 or C-4 blocks which did not have such range improvement. The dev server is a WIP and I suspect and hope the C-5 's range will be increased.
So, what’s the main benefit to the C-5? is it just extra range or is there something more to it?
Is it 27er levels of range and speed?
No guidance delay, more G and a longer sustainer iirc
So off the rail turning and longer range for sure. Didn’t the c-5 have clipped wings though making it pull less G?
It did have clipped wings but did also pull more G I think?
hmmm. Wonder if were gonna get some leaks about it soon lol
Longer range, higher G, better seeker, faster, more energy.
Personally I wish Gaijin just added the C-4 with improved load but not improved range for just the F-18s, but if the 120C-5 is being added it’s important that all nations keep parity instead of just the US and Israel
thats why all the 14.0 planes with the worst average stats got 120C5, to attempt to give them parity to the 14.0 planes with better average stats
So when the F-15E/I starts sky rocketing above everyone else in terms of “player stats” does that mean everyone else can get Aim-120C8s?
no if that happens they will probably heavily nerf 120C5 like they did to 120A/B right after they were added
Given Strike Eggles are seemingly misused as bombtrucks, I doubt even 120Ds would change much.
At the same time, if Eggles get C5, their stats somehow skyrocket, then either C5 gets nerfed, removed or other 14.0 get C5. All options will result in Eggles falling behind again, with last scenario of “AK47s C5s for everyone” might result in Eggles getting C8
No sustainer, but a very long burning rocket motor
less
no sustainer at all
The clipped wings don’t really matter, there were other upgrades done to increase the maximum G overload and improve High-Off-Bore-Capabilities though
well in game it is currently slightly less maneuverable than the 120a/b
Yes, on the devserver, which is WIP
No next gen IR missiles for aircraft this year. Upgrades to current ones? Yes add new IRCCM and upgraded motors but we need to see how the upgraded ones we have in game will perform before we even think to add the next generation.
No it means that they add another broken missile for a few months to the russians or another blue country duh. I also highly doubt the C5 will be OP it just has more range due to less drag but loses to A/B in short ranges due to its loft.
Or YK it will be OP because of how MP doesn’t work with a missile coming directly top down. ( At least in real life)
