can we expect something tasty today?

And that can change later on? because to be honest amraam D-3 would be not enough when meteor and stuff like come, so in my opinion D3 woukd be the right choice right now, not as good of a HOBS capability as other missiles tho in BVR would be better than most

What do you mean? VT-4, other Pattons or something else?

I sincerely hope AIM-120D-3 is added instead of the base AIM-120D.

Are you hoping it’ll be better in terms of range?

No. Range doesn’t matter (I mean it does but at super long range everyone is going to notch it anyway). Only thing the AMRAAM doesn’t lack. Better HOBS and better acceleration at short range would make it better.

acceleration and pull

Shhhh I’m trying to avoid using euphemisms, they are watching……

I don’t doubt that better HOBS and acceleration would make it better, but if neither base AIM-120D or AIM-120D-3 doesn’t introduce better HOBS, then AIM-120D-3 should be added anyway and baseline skipped tbh.

Honestly they should just added all next gen IR missile (even if some one the would be OP) instead of 120D and buff 120C since 9X would solve HOBS issue of AMRAAMS and with fixing of 120C, it would have been a good ARH missile

What else is there to it other than HOBS capability and acceleration? Increasing the range doesn’t matter. Everyone figured out how to defeat these missiles at long range by either notching, turning away or multipathing. People rarely die to to those 40+km shots.

Problems are:

  • There’s public reports for AMRAAM maneuverability but the reports are about the terminal maneuverability and not the HOBS

  • There’s little to no reports for the AIM-120C, other than the seeker fov that applies to it as well.

  • Buffing the C buffs the Eurofighter, doesn’t solve the issue of US suffering in toptier in the first place.

  • US tree is already bad at top br gameplay with current fox-3s. Keeping the current fox-3s or buffing the C and then adding next-gen IR missiles means that the US now has HOBS with the AIM-9X sure, but it is going to be out-ranged by the ASRAAM and MICA IR on the Rafale/Eurofighter, so the situation will be even worse than now.

All these problems and crap sub-trees are because people do not get the fact that “no nation should have the x shiny thing all the time”

If you want to try a x vehicle, go play that nation. Do not cause memtal gymnastics to include that yo your favourite nation

And unfortunately Gaijin understands this better than the community.

Well theoretically AIM-120D-3 should offer better acceleration even if it comes at the cost of HOBS again due to said acceleration. But they should just add it anyway and let players decide which missiles they want to use for whatever situations fits best for them.

In fact better acceleration would give it a tighter turn off the rail, because gaining optimal turn speed quicker

Fair enough. I should probably stop playing US and focus more on other countries since i don’t think US would be good until they add 5th gen. But i don’t like playing props :(

5gen wont change much when meteor and other similar missiles gets added and maps stay small
