Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 2)

Aww Su-30MKK isnt included on Lunar New Year discount. yet Indonesian Hawk 209 got discount treatment eventhough both planes are in the same update.

The Su makes much more money than the Hawk, so why discount it if it sells good?

AIM-120D AMRAAM from late 2010’s

I guess two american 4.5 gen fighter aircraft only received AIM-120D (instead AIM-120A and AIM-120B)

For me, might not have problem F-15C GE and F/A-18E Blk II received AIM-120D, and new battle rating around 15.0 or 15.3

Target just didn’t notch correctly /s

I’ve been reading a lot of people’s reactions and opinions about the AMRAAM being added to the game. And I have to say to all Americans, what kind of substances are you using? Give me some, because if you think that AMRAAM is not going to be the best missile simply due to the range and the energy you are tweaking,

We barely know anything about the 120D besides it’s listed on paper range (which means oh so much in game am I right?).

So drawing any conclusions regarding the 120D being one of the best missiles before actually having any datamine info is just as foolish.

First off, because your wording made it unclear wether you know it, to clarify they’re not adding amraams, they’re adding a new variant but amraams are already in the game.
And in addition, the amraams currently in the game are heavily nerfed, which makes many assume the 120D will be badly nerfed too.
Overall there’s absolutely no reason so assume the 120D will be the best in game

It is in files right now

It is a AIM-120C-5 with 30 seconds more battery and GNSS

Obviously that could change but it seems to just be the base AIM-120D and not the D-3

What’s funny is, the 120D wouldn’t even be needed if the 120Cs were properly implemented

Fair enough, I hadn’t fully checked the missile data sheet yet.

So “worst case” scenario if they change nothing it’s going to be a small qol improved version of the 120C-5? I guess we will find out in a couple of weeks if they do change anything about it.

Well, I don’t know if anyone here really knows what’s actually wrong with the AIM-120C

Idk man, but apparently there’s a load of reports so I assume something’s wrong

There’s reports on the AIM-120A/B, not the C afaik

Ah alright. Though if the A/B are underperforming, then so is the C since it’s similar/worse than them in game? I dunno

I think fin AoA but im am not too sure either

AMRAAMs aren’t missing range nor energy, and these are basically irrelevant gameplay-wise so long as they remain to be bricks incapable of pulling enough Gs to catch up with targets making basic turns.

Average aim 120C discussions. Everyone agrees that it’s not modeled correctly but no one can actually explain what exactly, appart from the seeker
