Nice, thanks for testing.

In the same conditions, my AIM-120B model hit the target at 40nm in 45 seconds… for some reason I am having trouble getting the AIM-120 to fly for longer than ~50s as it keeps exploding when trying to launch it at the 60nm target.
I guess gajin might consider AIM-120A, AIM-120B, Rb.99 & AIM-120C-3 to new major update in december this year or Q1 2024
Any thoughts on this ?

More than likely December
26 NM
Hmm I think thats impossible to test ingame as it hardcode limited lmao
“receiver”: {
“rcs”: 2.0,
“range”: 40000.0,
“rangeMax”: 45000.0,
You can easily test it with a custom missile file and a user mission from CDK… See my above results…
SuperTEMP at mach 2 launch reaches approximately 40nm in 50s against mach 2 target… ~13km alt
At 10km I presume with the theoretical full 60s guidance time it could still hit but would be out of energy. Absolute max range.
Was talking no mods but ingane code. That hard code range limit on radars. But scopes go well beyond. Would be nice to test sparrows with that info above
Well, if you’d like we can DM about it and do some testing. I’ve been meaning to make an excel sheet with some test datapoints but there already exists some other tools to check these points with in-game datafiles.
Sure
dunno if this was posted here before
note the AIM-7 range is the seeker max range not the aero range

It’s interesting, but unfortunately not super accurate. We know from primary sources that the weight is wrong for AMRAAM, and we have no launch parameters
this was late 80’s so likely a pre production missile’s weight was given
estimated production weight seems to have fluctuated throughout development before mass production began
My sources indicate that preproduction missile was ~300 pounds, climbed to 326 pounds for the AIM-120A.
@Ziggy1989 As a former physicist, you discredit yourself greatly by claiming Radars don’t emit light. Unless you were simply referring to the visible portion of the EM spectrum. Otherwise, radars and radios, do very much, emit an EM wave aka “light”.
good job @MiG_23M. i haven’t read every word of this forum post but it’s very evident one of you is being methodical in basing their arguments on source material, and the other is not.

I was not a physicist.
lol I chose it as my major in Associate of Arts because literally nothing else was available.
Oh you mean you are speaking for yourself. lol.
The radars used in military applications do not use electromagnetic transmitters to generate signals on the spectrum of visible light, neither does the receivers receive of such signals.
that’s what i just said.

The what do you want from me? I am busy.
Where in my comment that you replied to say anything about light? Your hyper fixation on broad outlook on the EM spectrum Mr. Physicist is pathetic.
We are talking about one military application that uses specific radio/microwaves frequencies. Why would we speak in the general terms?
Do you call radio signal a light signal?

When someone focuses on something erroneous you said it’s not a hyper-fixation.
Also this is starting to roll off topic.
its a dead topic, for now.
you keep bringing it up I said I can care less as long as GJ does not care let it be my warning.
But advertising unreleased, unannounced content is obviously what you did. There is no hiding it.
I am sure someone will bring you up to them, but it won’t be me.

Again, that’s not on topic and irrelevant. No one did anything wrong. Just so you’re aware I’ve been recommended by senior forum staff not to continue entertaining your antics.
