See where i know gaijin has either gotten something wrong or there is a severe disconnect between the game and reality. Supposedly irl u.s. pilots would rather go for an aim120 within 6km because they pull hard enough to hit reliable. Those are referencing the c-5 or c-7 too, not even the 120d.
kinda depends how good it is i guess, i think itll fix the range issues the pl12 had while retaining its good turn performance, so a nice upgrade
Go for an AIM-120 over AIM-9X? Why would they?
Aim 120 over aim9m. Thats how i know its referring to a c series 120.
I’ll have to wait to see how PL-12A is modeled, but allegedly it will have heavier weight than PL-12, while also having stronger thrust, this would indicate to me that it would have worse turn than PL-12, so an AIM-120C type of thing where J-10C players would be encouraged to bring both the PL-12A and PL-12 similar to how players currently bring AIM-120C and AIM-120A.
theyre both pretty horrendous in game to be fair, shoot either within those ranges and youre not hitting anything

You can get 6km hits with the aim120a/b pretty easily, you just have to drag your nose around hella far. c-5 will just fly off into narnia.
oh alright, i dont know much about the pl12a so we’ll have to see how it is ingame then
I fully expect the AIM-120D3 to pull worse than AIM-120C only because it should heavier and have more thrust than AIM-120C. So it compresses more due to more thrust while also being heavier.
yea which is the problem bc a rafale or su30sm doesnt have to turn basically at all lol
cmon we close to 10K
a block 52 with the have glass paint job, the squadron that the livery is modeled after has had their F-16s go through the have glass program
So the “better HOBS capability” would be even more useless. Some jokes really write themselves lol
Soon as we get to 10k, then dev-server releases /s
It should be slightly lighter actually as the electronics shrunk. unless im missing something of course.
Unless they gimp or butcher it, absolutely. PL-12AE has a range that exceeds 120 km and is in the medium to long range class of missiles. This is unlike anything else we have in-game currently.
surely
might give me a reason to finish grinding the j10c
