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

It’s almost like this is a testserver or something

almost like thats why i said itll probably be fixed… but anyway if it does end up having better maneuverability it’ll be negligible compared to its effective range due to quick speed loss. (it has very high drag) compared to the 120b

do we know when there fixing the aim-9m

Ok, so since the US and Israel are getting better ARHs on their best planes it would now be okay for the USSR to get even better A2G weapons?

hopefully soon

If they were getting better ARHs which they arent…

watch there just gonna add another one aim-9 m-7 or something

that would be very gaijinesk

the ones that are ingame dont exist already so no

he’s having a hard time understanding that the numbers don’t lie XD

which numbers ?

I’m having a hard time understanding how a weapon being strong in one mode justifies the addition of a stronger weapon in another mode

I did all the math for the 120b vs 120c using the game files and posted them, here ill put them out again

  • When at 5000 feet altitude (at mach 1.2) the 120b is both faster and has more range 5.6 miles more range infact
  • When at 16000 the 120c is still slower but has 4.3 mile more range then the 120b
  • the only notably larger range is at 33000 feet altitude which is 12.6 miles.

aim120-C5 will likely get the AIM-54 treatment

oh well if its like that it will probably be fine

if they dont change it, yea, its basically good for sim, sucks for rb, 120b will still be better in RB as everyone flys low and the numbers are for same altitude targets. the 120b likely in practice still has more range even from a 16000ft launch as most targets hover around 4000 feet

They already do??

Why would they another one?

It’s not, because the missile is WIP.
