I’ve seen a lot of people whining about the aim-120d weight change, claiming it’s “because gaijin hates America” and stuff like that. I hate to break it to you all claiming this, but I, an American, made a bug report because it was the incorrect mass. Believe it or not but a missile is going to get heavier when you add an extra few components into it. Furthermore, a lot of you will complain when other countries, especially Russia gets inaccurate things, but now when the time comes for something to be accurate for America you start whining. You can’t have it both ways, yall need to make ur mind up. Additionally, it literally does not matter, it’s a 0.56% weight increase that nerfed the performance by roughly 0.1%. Such a big deal right?

Where?
Great, so there’s no problem
The issues is more so that, unless you have hard numbers, nothing will change.
So even though words are supposed to mean things, nothing happens since exact numbers simply aren’t not “a need to know” thing.
For example the Control surfaces being clipped means a lower G-load. And since no numbers (officially) exist for it without taking the change to the center of lift and subsequent changes to static stability are entirely ignored. Even though it obviously would restore maneuverability to some degree.
And without a valid bug report there is no way to get Gaijin do do anything.
And even then they can just sit on it for ~two years anyway[#1, #2, #3].
