Yes the AAM-4B has the AESA, but the base AAM-4 should have one on par with the 120C-5, which should be improved compared to the 120A/B copy-paste currently.
Frankly I still don’t buy the idea that it’s anything other than an SD-10A. to the best of my knowledge both the SD-10A and PL-12 match it’s stated capabilities.
You are correct. They match their stated capabilities, to the best of your knowledge. It’s just that you know absolutely nothing.
Discussion cleaned. Please don’t turn it in a personal debate. Thanks
There’s no debate here. The missile is already a slight upgrade on the 120A. If anything, it’s mostly a complain thread of non AIM 120-C5 users.
You also forgot some personal posts to flag/remove above by the way.
Doesnt it have a 1 second delay to guidance? That sounds awful
it has the same 0.6 second delay as 120A/B (which is twice or more time as any other ARH)
The games modeled to mimic real life aircrafts. USA has the best aircrafts in the world. Stop crying please.
Have you seen the state of the AIM-120? Pretty sure the U.S has the most bug reports that are getting ignored.

Does it now? Right, that’s why they need to beat up on MiG 21s, right? Meanwhile the F-22 is getting bullied by Rafale and Eurofighters in war games.

didn’t think people still repeated this already disproven talking point

we are talking about a game here. USA might have the best aircraft IRL but there is no point in having other nations if one will just absolutely dominate the others. Balance is key in a game. If the AIM-120C-5 is just as dominant as people make it out to be, then I’d like something to balance it out.
who tf is claiming its dominant, its straight up worse than 120A at the common engagement ranges
IRL of course it isnt but gaijin decided to give it the same artificial nerfs as 120A for close range pull and refuses to give it its IRL improved HOBS capability

That’s because people were demanding that if the AIM 120C is coming, that means they should buff the PL-12s and SD-10s
well first i said if.
Have you also checked what post you’re on?
This is the most liked reply on the post. There are definitely other examples but I’m not digging through 200 posts for it. You have people claiming the AIM-120C-5 will dominate. I know nearly nothing about its functionality in War Thunder, so yeah. “If it’ll be as dominant as people make it out to be” doesn’t mean everyone, but there are definitely people claiming it will be dominant, maybe overpowered.

All you need to know is that it will be kinematically better than the 120A while sacrificing turning performance, so it won’t be overpowered by any stretch of the imagination if you know what you’re doing against the AIM-120 series in the ARH meta.
That sounds iffy. Like the aim120 is already the least agile of the mdeium range fox 3s.
If he does a little research (and i think he will), he’ll find out the 120As turning performance is already weak, so having even less would lead to a pretty narrow conclusion
Those people havent actually looked at how it was before dev server closed
