As of making this comment, C5 got reworked. They got less drag, loft, and pulls slightly more than A/Bs.
In short, ATM it’s a very weak upgrade on maneuverability and overall performance. So i don’t know if anyone still wants that missile when the overload upgrade at a slight cost on range was the main selling point in the first place.
Personally, no problem gajin decompression BR to 14.3 for F/A-18C late, F/A-18C MLU 2, F-15E and F-15I Ra’am

Actually no, the 120C-5s got updated on the dev server.
They now have:
- lower drag
- less lofting
- less fin AOA
Here’s how the 120C-5 was performing before the dev server got updated:
Here are the parameters of that test
And here’s how they are performing now that the dev server got updated:
As we can see it’s much more in line with the other Fox-3s in game now.

Thanks for the update. Still the ‘maneuverability selling point’ stands due to the AOA changes. It won’t be significantly more maneuverable and it will be absurdely on par with the rest kinematically speaking.

True but making us grind a 4th f15/16 is utterly idiotic, pobits got a good radar but gajinn wouldnt model it properly for the sake of “balance”, tbh its mot that hard for gajinn to copy paste like idk 4 lines of codes to allow the other planes to get c5 capabilities
Wouldnt really matter to me imo, i use the amraam as a medium (and by that i mean anything over 5km) range missile and at those ranges it requires little maneuverability
It would be fair enough if the US/AIM-120-reliant nations had a solution for short ranges other than out maneuvered and easily flared AIM-9Ms, but they don’t. Hence the emphasis on the AOA issue.

I agree but with the arrival of the aim-9x (somehow not even coded lmao) on the slamraam and irs-t i fully expect them to be playable in the not so far futur, what im afraid off though is gajinn deciding to give the 9x to hornets only just because “slow jet”
Bump this I literally just unlocked the F15C as the news came out and your telling me it gets shafted instantly?
Bro why are F18s getting such special treatment, its not like they are suffering in top tier with 10 aim120s
you are truly a casual and dont know anything about 120c-5
Because the F/A-18 is an abhorrent airframe and has the lowest winrate at 14.0.
Its cause its players sucks ngl f18s got 10 amraams thats at least 2 kills per games if you use them the good way
And where whould it make a difference ? Please enlighten
120b to 120c-5 isnt big jump like r77 to 77-1 and both are really close in performance so why not add it to the game
Also true.
Its still an overall upgrade from the A and B and if not such a big upgrade, why not give it to all ?

“yeah its an upgrade because c5 has about 10% more range but dosnt make it so much more different still has same g loud same flight profile just lil more energy about 10% more so why not just add it already” i thought c5 should come with f18c like 77-1 came with su30
While F-15C with AN/APG-63(V)3 makes sense, I don’t see any real chance for them to add F-16C with PoBIT upgrades. It is still a fairly new and classified project and there are little news about their actual deliveries to the USAF.
A lot of its capabilities are still guesses, and we don’t know how “F-16V” have they became.
Gaijin should have added a Block 30/32 instead with early AMRAAMs, and leave the current one with AIM-120Cs, before adding the PoBIT with AIM-120C-8/Ds.
Still doesnt make sens tbh, its like the su27sm not getting r77-1, or (even though i know their the same) not giving the aim120B to all fighters when its literraly the production model, and if ive read some of the dataminds correctly, the 14.0s even get the C5 STOCK
