So, any buffs for it’s HOBS capabilities besides the delay then?
Because 120A/B wasn’t really for that role. C5 almost certainly has a lower delay, but we don’t have a sources for it, so it’s up to gaijins discretion to model the C5’s HOBS, currently it has no HOBS capability at all, which’s disappointing, but nobody has reported it.
That makes sense, for example in the video of an r-77 being launched then lofting, there’s a around .1 sec delay between booster activation time and being launched, and then another around .3 second delay between booster activation time and actual maneuvering which leads to a total delay of around .4 to .5 seconds. I would assume when it’s rail launched and not dropped, the delay just is .3 seconds. (go to 2:44, idk why the link isn’t working with time)
what’s min launch range for amraam? r-77 is 300m rear aspect for example
Spoiler
they also have overly nerfed the fin AOA without proper sources

from flame
so this is where they got the guidance delay from
80ft travel? That was source?
0.8 seconds after launch it starts guiding, and after 0.2 booster ignites/starts. so 0.8-0.2 = 0.6s, at least to my understanding of where the 0.6 seconds maneuvering delay comes from
Since pic lists them as cycle… idk
How do you figure?
because it can not pull hard enough to hit shots that amraams have IRL during testing

Shouldn’t it start maneuvers at ~100ms post umbilical disconnect, with the unlocking of the control surface?
We know that the AIM-7 Should begin to maneuver (to face the predicted location of the target at launch) before guidance is initialized(English Bias), or a target is locked.
It would follow that the AIM-120 is at very least similar.

I’m not entirely sure, I am simply getting that 0.6s delay from this part of the doc.
what does AIM-120 need to be fix on anyways, i forgot, someone slide info
Can you provide examples?

from what ive read the c-7 is the one that gets hobs
and in game the c7 on the slamramm has way better aoa compared to the c5
I dont think it does, I think that might be a weapon spreadsheet miss type
because I know it was a copy of C5 on release and dont think it has been changed since
yes and if you look at the spreadsheet for c5 and 120a/b it is those exact same numbers but moved down a row hence why I think it might be a typo
this is datamined information so no its not a typo
this is the c7 performance on the slamraam so there is a chance
though seeker performances are the same yes
