Gaijin shot themselves on the feet for introducing the 120C5s to ‘balance’ underperforming frames at top tier.
While they balanced the missile on their performance beliefs for ARB purposes, they’re rendering the SLAMRAAM usage as a meme as you’ll have to LEAD an ACTIVE RADAR HOMING missile, otherwise it just won’t turn enough.
hopefully 120C will get a buff before live because IRL it is supposed to be much better for high off bore and harder to notch, but Im not too hopeful on that
Hopefully not, we have enough extremely high powered missiles, while other nations are falling behind.
we need a whole ass patch for balancing and QoL improvements
that is part of this patch
they are trying to balance top tier air RB by adding better missiles to the worst preforming airframes, it kinda defeats the point of that when the missiles they add are worse than the current ones
so making a missile useful for close-medium range (the same range you guys say the current 120s performance doesn’t matter) makes it a powerful missile?
God now you guys don’t even try on your troll/ragebait attempts anymore.
Yeah but they can’t just arbitrarily add missiles which are substantially better to balance a platform which isn’t that far behind.
The F18C at top tier isn’t that bad from what I’ve seen, the issue is a lot of pilots using it dont know how to. its not the same as say, the A10 recieving aim9Ls for its introduction as it was substantially slower and without the missiles would be at anyones mercy (for the most part)
I use aim120’s they’re pretty damn good missiles, especially compared to the likes of R darters or Derbies. ever R77s are pretty poor in comparisson (R77-1s) are not.
My point is the F18C isn’t exactly struggling with Aim120B’s and rather than jamming in random half ass upgraded missiles. we should take a patch to properly balance the whole fking game.
You actively trying to dismiss a legitimate topic of discussion as “Troll/ragebait” just because you disagree , does nothing for your image mate.
i wouldnt use stat card for references
stuff like 7E has 25G but it never pull pass 15G
kh-38mt.
but oh yes they can, they can do whatever they want
since they already add C-5 you can expect 9X next major or next patch
substantially better missile that is currently worse than the existing ones for shots less than 15-20km which are the most common and important ones in game
Kept on saying it when they add the R-77-1, right around the corner was the C5. Isn’t the surface launched version of the C5 supposed to be a tad different than the aircraft launched version?
I advocate for hte removal of the Kh38MT, im sure you know that.
as well as this, the Su25 at the time was a shitbrick so it was somehow slightly justified.
And then they wonder why theres literally thousands of people complaining about the game, aim9X I really hope doesn’t come to the game soon, at all.
C5 as well is one hell of a jump from the initial C variant as well as far as I know.
They are missing out on so much fking content just to ram newer and newer sht into the game, aim120C-5s yet the EF2000 radar is barely capable of a 20km lock n launch, with its placeholder radar.
Hardly, I’ve found that with the EF2000 its better to run the aim9Ms x 6 with 4 x Aim120s cause long range just isnt that big a deal if you play right, a 15-20km launch is such an easy thing to dodge / notch.
actually they recently rework C-5, i think theres someone around here that tested before and after C-5 rework so now it should be more in line with other AIM-120
its better yes but not substaintially better anymore
See hte issue? now were gonna have people demanding that they add the correct version, or better, the game can barely handle SARH missiles never mind the ARH missiles were jamming in here
weve went from the 1970s to 2003 in about 3 BR steps its ridulous
i mean most missiles ingame arent correct anyways
Gaijin balance missiles and their carrier base on statistic and their references so most stuff ended up wrong or overpowered
most of the planes should have radar jammer which would help but obviously either too much for gaijin or gaijin say no
its not even really better, most shots in air rb are 20km or less and 120A hits faster at those kinds of close-medium ranges
as i said its more in line with other 120s now
its literally worse for most shots
it should have better agility and HOBS capability but gaijin says its an amraam so lets make it shit
if its accurate then its better than every other missiles
if its less accurate then its more in line with other missiles, but worse
if its accurate but other missiles is worse then gaijin would need to model other missiles more accurate, which mean buff other missiles and buff the C-5 more because C-5 is better than other missiles, which mean more imbalance
so the solution is?
If they manage to do that, it’ll just expose their hypocrisy by having a single missile performing on two different metrics, because the surface version is exactly the same as the aircraft’s and:
expose their 'the forbidden word to be said to them'
bias.
This is AI slop. Nobody formats like this except ChatGPT.
Edit: Well well well
Bro tried to hide it smh
