if it works for you then all power to you, i just really dont see a range difference in actual gameplay personally
same shots my 120c hits, the 120b would 99% likely hit too
I don’t want to be a buzzkill and I’m not saying it was final but the AIM-120D was in the files for a bit during the last dev server and it was literally just a 120C5 with 30 seconds of extra battery life…
There’s a major bug on the Mirage 2000C-S5; the chaff level drops and then immediately jumps back up to half. I spent my last game (in Arcade mode) dropping chaffs. I reported it, but it says it’s fixed.

The 120c-5 is better than the aim120a/b in game but only if you’re going about mach 1.5 or faster. the higher you go the better off you are as well because the lower drag means your missiles have more energy as they dive through the thicker atmosphere. the slower you are the worse the c-5 is overall.

Aim120c-5 was godly in the files until they gimped it too.
it was great on the first dev
During the last dev server the AIM-120D was an AIM-120C5 with 30 seconds of extra battery life, GNSS (so no IOG drift) and 360 launch angles like the R-77-1 (on an ARH that can’t pull lol)
Hopefully this is different tomorrow, only time will tell

It was, it really was a good upgrade. slower accelerating but overall better maneuverability. like an aim7e2 vs aim7f
itll fly 40km straight then turn and go for the target behind you
yea, but gaijin said “nah, they dont need that”
This is because the AIM-120C5 during the first dev was the pre-AMRAAM nerf one. It received the same nerfs the AIM-120A did beforehand afterwards.

Probably will drop as base AIM-120D model in the dev-server and then changed to D-3 upon feedback from the community.
went from an overall upgrade to immediate downgrade in all but 1 category

if the d doesnt have any hobs capability then we’re going to need the d3 so we at least have a ton of range in place of that
but id 100% prefer the d to just be able to turn
It retains the exact same fins, so it realistically won’t.
unfortunately youre likely right
It was how it should have been. Now it’s something else.

theres multiple accepted bug reports on the 120c so maybe theyll do something about those soon
