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
It was.
Indeed, apologies, fixed.

Can’t wait for aim120D to come to the game and be a copy paste of aim120A lol.

too good. gonna be worser than 120a
-The blatantly poor Dogfight performance of all AMRAAMs (Delay and fin AOA). Some sources (not really reliable. More of 3rd party) specify some kind of HOBS upgrade for the C-5 although I haven’t found anything official.
-All AIM-120s miss their smokeless motor
-The AIM-120C-5 having a worse acceleration than the AIM-120A/B for some reason
-It’s seeker is weak in general. No changes of seeker power was made through newer models even tho they exist
-Not being able to be launched in “Mad-dog” mode by the SL-AMRAAM, similar to the TAN SAM
-There was an accepted report for the seeker having less range based on some British source iirc

This is the common sense approach that Gaijin needed. This is a current missile in many airforces arsenal AIM-120C7 is being used in active combat now. But that means we can have 0 hope of finding the capabilities of this system to bug report them.
