Someone made this. This also could’ve (should’ve) been an option.

i got a better hit to kill ratio with the AIM-7s then with AIM-120s, that and sparrow slinging just feels all around better to do, doesn’t mater the range
that’s weird, aim7 is heavier, with less range, acceleration, and maneuverability, and that’s comparing it to the f/m older aim7s are even worse. I haven’t used the p as I just don’t like the f-18 aesthetically but I can’t imagine it’s much better just because it can require lock.

the warhead is bigger, when my AIM-120s do hit, more often then not all id get is a hit, with AIM-7s its either a crit and the aircraft is on fire actively falling or it straight up kill them, wishing we did what the Japanese did and kept the bigger warhead and just modernized the sparrow and keep that as our medium range missile but kept working on the 120 to eventually make it the long range missiles its is today

They don’t do everything we want, there’s still no tech tree version. Until that happens we will keep complaining

Too much weathering and panelling for my taste, also not the same camo as the one we’ve talked about which I like specifically.

@coffee_can-psn AIM-120 and ARH in general are way easier to notch than SARH because you are defeating the weak missile radar instead of strong aircraft based one.
There are times when I’m also taking AIM–7M on AIM-120 equipped platform.

Nah, I’m and p is real easy to notch and can be rolled. Only r27r/er that is annoying

well, when I roll “no chaff needed” and your aim7 misses tough luck, seriously r27er I’d understand but the aim7 is just way worse and not worth bringing, I mean at that point just use the aim9m with a little closer range

To roll it out you first - need speed which is not a given and second - you need to identify its the AIM-7 and not another AIM-120
Agreed but it is one of the cooler schemes
Yeah no last time I checked fox 3 is the superior missile and is harder to notch compared to fox 1. aim7P/r27er are a different story plus if I remember correctly the aim120 can still receive updated information from aircraft as well
Yeah I think that’s just you giving your self the disadvantage especially if it’s not the aim7p
I can see trading out aim54 for aim7m/p but I don’t see trading out aim120A for aim7m as a advantage
What you just said right know just gave an example that aim120 are harder to defeat than aim7 not to mention it should be easier to notch a aim7 than a aim120
honestly I disagree, The Fox3’s are incredibly easy to doge if you know how to notch, same goes for the fox1’s Aswell. However, with that in mind, if both are fired at you at a time depending on the scenario, a fox1 will have a better chance of hitting than a fox 3. for example, people flying at low altitude when you’re flying at low altitude. or an extremely close engagement range where you have a lasting hard lock on someone.
While at medium ranges, or if your extremely high a fox3 will be better. I Honestly think that the FnF capability is while great, overhyped. as almost Half of all munitions never hit their target. an experienced player will have an easier time guaranteeing a kill with a fox1 more so than a fox3. A fox3 is just Easier to use, and more convenient. this also goes for like all fnf munitions. a laser guided bomb is always easier to guarantee a kill over a heat seeking missile, or tv guided munition
also note, Fox3’s are easier to notch in total, and fox1’s are dependent on how easy it is to notch the planes radar. For example a 7m used on something like an F4S will be incredibly easy to notch, but if it was on a plane in an aesa/pesa radar Then your gonna have an extremely difficult time trying to notch it
and yes this does come from experience, as i’ve had situations where i had my 120’s constantly notched by someone while dogfighting, and then swapped to sparrow’s and got a kill rather than just another notch
