its either a A or B, but they are the training variant of the missile shown by the blue stripes, as well as a full set of P-4s
You wouldn’t need to drop the missile for that, you could test control surfaces from the pylon.
Will the AMRAAMS ever get fixed, or is it Gaijin’s soviet propaganda to have the R-77-1 the best missile in the game besides the MICA?

A or B as the wings dont appear to be trimmed
They will be fixed when Gaijin releases US premium with AIM-120C5, just like Phoenixes magically were buffed based on years old reports only when premium F-14 entered the chat.

phoenixes were “buffed” the only real buff was the all aspect seeker, the rest of the rework was done poorly and leaves the missile in a pathetic state, they made its thrust abnormally low as a default, changed its trust to increase with altitude but didnt change its flight profile to loft more aggresively and hit at a more vertical angke(like we generally know phoenixes do) so the missile doesnt actually spend the majority of its burn time at altitudes where it can accelerate decently. the phoenixes are actual bricks right now, they have so little thrust they loose speed whilst burning and turning which also means it pulls much less than it used in alot of situations.

Chiming in to whine that having to use AMRAAMs on the Gripen is big time lame and boring. It really holds it back.
I wish there was public data on the mk60 rocket motor so a bug report about it would actually be accepted. The mk60 would fix probably 60% of the aim54cs problems, tge aim54a should receive the smokw reduced mk47 mod motor at least
Did you guys see the new us navy missile?
It has its own thread and bug report
How would mk 60 do anything. It would be same performance
I wonder why the USA hasn’t put amraam-er on planes
not meant for aircraft launch, would it be that difficult probably not, but there isnt a good enough reason
They had back them, their best missile was AIM-120D, which lacked range by quite a bit in comparison with PL-15
they started the JATM program in response to the PL-15, and AMRAAM-ER was brand new in 2015 when PL-15 became known
yes, and AIM-260 still not 100% in service yet, AMRAAM-ER/AXE could been just like AIM-174B, but it would probably remain in service for longer than 174B

Bro, mk60 has much higher thrust. The acceleration would be so much better, less range but that doesnt matter, shooting from like 35km is still fine, acceleration is why the aim54 is bad, if it has better acceleration itd be good. Thats why the fakour is good

aim120d3 is that
It isnt, 120D-3 has no major upgrades in the motor, someone related to the program said it is mostly software improvement and if im not mistaken a little bit of more propellant
So which D variant got the upgrade in the motor then? According to the Norwegian government the AIM-120D got an upgrade in propulsion, although it doesn’t clarify which variant it was.

AMRAAM-D is an upgraded version of a missile that has previously been used by both the F-16 and the air defence system NASAMS. Featuring more powerful propulsion…
