The AIM120C5 has better close combat capability and better BVR combat capability than the previous model of the missile

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

You realise the amraams are brilliant?

MICAs are brilliant by the way you describe 120s.

120s are mid, doesn’t excel at any realistic scenario if it doesn’t have a decent platform to launch them, and only gets kills on its ‘comfort zone’ whenever your adversary is either new at the game/clueless/wallet warrior.

That is very nice. Thanks for info.

People don’t like to hear it but the Aim-120A and B are mid. Overall, they’re good missiles, but after being the only ones hit with a maneuverability nerf, it lags behind in Fox 3 fights. And that’s realistic with how we initially expected it to go when they were first added. The AMRAAM- A and R-77 were to be the worst ARH missiles and everything else would be better at their own niches.

Woah woah, they wouldn’t never compromise the integrity of the game to do that right?…….right? Lol

As if they’ve never had double standards on stats.
On one hand they accept poor quality manuals/website advertisments or just straightup made up stuff for some, and for others is just the good old ‘we think this is a clear marketing lie’, ‘game convention, not a bug’.

Sometimes they do. Not aim120s tho, they never pul close to 35gs for most of the flight time

“Brilliant” is an exagerstion. Theyre mid, theyre worse than r-77-1, mica and aam4, pl12s are also better sub 20km because they can actually pull.
