Some doubts that arose with the arrival of the aim 120C-5

ngl this is a bit over hyped, as they are now the aim120c-5 is only marginally better than the B it only has more range dude to a longer seeker duration but if your getting hit by an aim120 at 50km gliding at sub mack 2 you kinda just suck

Even if its the case, i bet on my damn life you never said it the other way around, not even with X38MTs/R-27ERs introductions. You always fell under the ‘it’s not x-nation bias, it’s money bias’, so i guess now it’s the case all over again, though its so much easier for you to say it one way than both.

Anyways.

Russia gets a permanent buff on the ground and for CAS. So let the US at least get something somewhere.

Meh, the US is always the best at everything because export upgrades are marketing lies and, apparently, they doesn’t appear ingame.

It’s easier for many here to say ‘The american bias is real.’ instead of the other one that has an overwhelmingly obvious difference of influx across the whole internet. That’s the gaslight i’m referring to since the start of this devserver.

I swear… Everyone talks crap about the US getting things but never really say much about when other nations get things that are crazy… Should we talk about some Russian battleships that are coming out this patch? How about some Russian AA that has been having fun for awhile? Certain A2G missile Russia has? No? These things are fine? Gotcha

AIM-120C-5 was given to 4 or 5 countries if I’m not mistaken.

So, what are the main differences between the 120B and C? Just the range mainly?

Nobody plays naval
Pantsir was our best defence against CAS players
Everybody complained about Kh-38s

There, now let’s talk about how America had a far more oppressive SPAA for a while, while having the best jets and equipment while being responsible for nerfs in multiple other nations, especially with the AAMs, MICAs, PL-12s, and by extension, the SD-10s.

they never did

you mean like how the ARH AAM that has been nerfed the most since release was the aim 120 and how it is now one of the worst AAMs for the air rb meta?

Yes, because the ADATS was never OP or anything, right?

Pantsir S1 objectivey much better?

An unstabilized, unable to fire on the move platform will never be something OP.
By that logic of yours, Bradleys are op, rofl.

The US has it elsewhere, it’s called the entire rest of their air tree.

Talk about the M247, the actually OP US SPAA. Once again, if it was Russian…

And when was the ADATS ever OP?

Apparently someone forgot about how people on the forums were nearly unanimous about how good the ADATS was.

Back in 2023, prior to Pantsir. You can look it up.

I think they wanted to add a better missile to the worst performing jets in RB, but didnt wanna fix the AIM-120A/B because thatd improve a bunch of other jets at various BRs

Because it doesn’t matter? Because F-18 is probably the only plane currently that probably needs it the most?

Unlike the F-15E/I

Wasn’t it reclassed to TD from SPAA just to nerf the SP cost because it was so good back then?

M-247 was OP when it came out, now it’s a very mediocre anti-aircraft gun.
