It was letting me edit it for “X” amount of time, after which it no longer could be edited.

From my experience, TL1 users can only edit a topic up to a day after making it, so we need to get to TL2 which ever so generously allows us to edit a topic up to 30 days after posting it. It’s an incredibly absurd and stupid change, but we have to live with it now because someone thought it would be a good idea.

Regardless, this is an awful situation. We should be permitted to edit posts for an infinite time after posting from TL1.

Yeah, even 30 days is too short of a time period because new information will inevitably come up after that time window has closed.

Using the public information from above and just putting the same seeker range as AIM-54A (unknown for AIM-120 rn) I’ve made this “stat card”

I use miles for distance, sooo… no. It’s 16km lock range and 100km distance.
C-5 definitely brings a Boost - Coast Motor btw
The AIM-120C-5 does not use a boost-sustain motor. The propellant and motor specs were leaked by Orbital ATK, hence its use and modeling in DCS being pretty accurate.
May I ask, what is the max radar lock range on the onboard seeker on AIM-120 family? Current AIM-54 Phoenix has radar lock range and max radar lock range. One is dependable on the RCS of aircrafts.

Oh AIM-120A very high manuvering BVRAAM G limit 35G ?
and since AIM-120B to AIM-120D pull same AIM-120A ?

The AIM-120 maximum overload is allegedly between 28 and 35G, the actual data is classified and unknown.

We do not know, we are trying to find out. The AIM-54 is designed specifically not to lock a target until around 10.3 nautical miles as to avoid enemy having enough time to maneuver and dodge the missile.

Do you think developer could add a switch for Phoenixes to target small / medium / large aircraft, so it could go active earlier / later?
This is not something that could be done, the Phoenix was pre-programmed to lock onto targets at around 10.3 nautical miles to target on purpose. It may have been programmable, but it would be done missile-by-missile on the ground.
It’s so hard to answer, I think dev guess maximum overload of AIM-120 but don’t know it higher Super 530D, R-27R/R-27R1 & R-27T/R-27T1 ?
No, we know it has pulled 28G to hit a target due to public test data, but some documentation also claims 35G. We know that 35G is not the dual-plane limitation because that would imply it has a maximum lateral acceleration of just 25G and it is said to be more maneuverable than the AIM-7F.
So the simple answer is >28G. Likely 35G is the lateral limit according to Korean analysis of the missile.

120A is supposedly 28G’s, and due to the clipped fins the C-D are supposdly 25G
what age is the 35G doc?
