Most people won’t even understand it and just ignore it I bet lol
Also, missile spreadsheet is still outdated right? (Not like there were any seeker changes but still)

here you can see that both the Aim-120 and Pl-12 have the same seeker code, with the only difference being that the Pl-12 has a higher gimbal limit but the performance of the seeker itself is identical

and here are the links to those two files in the datamines

Personally, I don’t see any major differences between the R-77 (RVV-AE) and the PL-12 as of today; this change wouldn’t make much of a difference in the aircraft’s performance. Here’s a gameplay clip from yesterday on the SU-27SM— it just has slightly more powerful engines and two more ARH missiles; I’m sure that if I were flying an SU-30MKK, I’d also manage to get 5+ frags… (holy down-tier).

The problem is BR compression, but honestly, even today, the premium SU-30 could land at 13.7 and still hold its own—especially since its radar recently got a buff and finally tracks targets correctly (the radar antenna tracks the TWS target vertically, which means the radar loses track of the TWS target less often).
