Did you even read my messages? Did you even read the same message you just replied to?
Not really, I really hope they dont buff AIM-120s because now they’re perfectly balanced with R-77-1s with just a bit difference
I dont care your massive copium.

The whole reason Im even writing here is that just F/A-18C is underpowered compared too all other 14.0s even with AIM-120s because its not nearly as efficient with it as something like F-15E or Eurofighter thats why I think it should get AIM-120C-5 and thats the reason I still think it wont be overpowered at all
oh I did, i focused in on your claim the second paragraph cause thats the bit that stood out. I skimmed the rest of your recent posts in this forum and it mostly boils down to cherry picking numbers and magical what if scenarios that dont line up with how things play out in game and ignoring the crux of the issue with r-77s and why r-77-1s are being floated and more importantly why further 120 variants arent.

are you kidding? your whole bad responses were because the useless damn f18c isnt getting a better aim120? you should have said that early, why would gaijin only add the aim120c-5 for the f18 and not for the f15s too? you cant just assume that they will only give that to the f18.
those “what if scenarios” are what happens in top tier I dont know when was the last time you played it but thats whats going on in top tier right now, I explained fist how R-77-1 will work and second how C-5s would work and the matter of fact is that they won’t change much other than giving F-18 something to be able to compete in 14.0
I don’t know, maybe the same reason they won’t give us F-15C with its PW-229? Making the game balanced is more important than making it historically accurate ig otherwise we wouldn’t see a 1986 jet and a 2012 jet being added at the same time
F-15C MSIP II doesn’t use PW-229.
And F-18C is already the 3rd best airframe at 14.0 only beaten by Rafale and Typhoon.
Others here have said my points in other regards.

I said F-15C not “F-15C MSIP II” bro
exactly.
i guess you missed the rafale from 2019 and the mirage 2000rmv from 2021?

Your what if scenarios took literally the best case for an engagement, which is above mach 1.5 at mid alt, on dev my closest engament to that was 1.3 at about 6k meters up. missile was dead after first crank because the issues with r-77 and derivatives has always been its drag profile, if people flew in straight lines you would have a point but they dont and havent done since multipath was essentially nixed. So explain to me how has anything I said about what you have said been incorrect.
So the older ones that existed prior to PW-220’s existence let alone PW-229’s. ;)
There is no F-15C in-game that uses PW-229s IRL, and I’m unaware of any IRL that use them as MSIP II is the last official upgrade package to my knowledge.
Though Japan is making JSI.

Good point, these too))
You explain to me how was I wrong about C-5 being balanced professor?
Yes, IN GAME we dont yet F-15C actually got its PW-229s in 89
The only reason the R-77-1 got added is because missiles in war thunder seemingly can’t model unilinear drag. Aka the high drag of the R-77 at transonic speed kills its performance even at higher speeds.
This means that in practice the R-77-1 in game is far closer to the aim120b than to the 120c.
Plus the only plane it is on is far slower/heavier than the EFT or the F-15E. If it was on the Su-27SM it would have been far more dangerous at long range, but the Su-30 is too slow to accelerate/climb well enough.
