I believe in LRKCW this year…
Just shot an AMRAAM at an group of AI targets.
The AMRAAM got confused, started going for random planes in the group, and missed everything.

AI MiG-21 dodged an AMRAAM.
And an AMRAAM gets lost in the Su-24 swarm…
truly remarkable, the US targeting systems can be easily fooled by just flying in a group! take that silly americans, russian and chinese equipment could never be confused by such tactics!

usually I don’t have issues with AMRAAMs, but since I got the PoBIT it’s been… sub par.
are they sure its an AIM-260 and not a late model AMRAAM?

hopefully it is an AESA seeker
According to gaijin tho if they ever add the aim-260 to the game it’ll have the same seeker as the AIM-120A ¯_(ツ)_/¯

god please no
Seekers will likely never change in ARH missiles until they add EW as a counterplay mechanic.

Meanwhile MICA enjoys the best Fox-3 seeker.

Yeah, I guess they could have at the very least played with the AIM120D and PL-12A seekers but they didn’t.
Even Aim-120A should have better seeker than MICA let alone the D model.
Sadly as for the PL-12A I don’t think we have any sufficient data.

One of the mysteries of the universe.
On another note, you don’t need AIM260.
All you need, at this point in game, is correctly modelled 120, any 120.
Aim-260 would be good counterpart for Meteor and Pl-15 missiles so it definitely deserves to be added once the time comes.
Until then proper modelled Aim-120 would be more than enough.
Sure, but we need to see what will the GJ make of those missiles, first.
So far, the track record isn’t really flawless and most problems stem from GJ’s half-arsed implementations of the stuff we already have in game.
IMO, the next generation of missiles will make much more problems than it’d offer solutions.
Doubt on the aim 120a having a better seeker than the mica considering that irl they operate in different bands
I band for the 120a and J band for the mica
J band having a better resolution, narrower main beam(which is probably what gaijin is trying to simulate by giving the mica a narrower beam but still uses i band for balance reasons because a lot of rwr cannot detect J band for example the spo 15) better eccm and ground clutter resistance
Aim 120D should in practice be better
PL 12A since we only know about the seekers existence i would assume that irl it would be superior to the aim 120a atleast

Seeker gatewitdh is better on Aim-120, its already been reported with multiple sources.
Yeah, ok, but what part of I band and J band?
If MICA has half the FoV (beamwidth) of an 120 (which is never 30°, btw) as in WT, it means that the 120 operates at 8 GHz and MICA at 20 GHz, but then 120 has a tracking range of some 25km vs a fighter and MICA’s tracking drops to 15km in ideal conditions. Once we put that into real conditions, however, where the 120’s tracking drops to 15km, the MICA drops to ~5-9km and is completely useless vs LO and VLO objects and in weather. If MICA has a tracking range similar to 120, it must work in the similar wavelength, which makes the FoVs similar as well.
