Can anyone help identify what kind of AMRAAM is in this pictures ?
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.
