The close-range rudder effect and angle of attack of the AIM-120A&B air-to-air missiles should be strengthened

You literally have nothing valuable to even bring to this conversation

Mhm, you are certainly one to talk about skill. Also not sure where the idea that I just sit in multipath all game came from.

But yeah the idea that you can just sit at 40+km lobbing amraams and doesn’t really work in reality because anyone with even the slightest resemblance of hands can easily defeat those, the only way for the missile to be an actual threat is to get in closer. I think you can see the dilemma here

yeah calling people braindead when you are playing it incorrectly and you think you are playing it correctly is quite frankly something valuable to consider

You’re talking about everyone multipathing including yourself, and you’re the one saying unrealistic ranges:

But you do you, you wouldn’t be able to get close to me if you’re sat at ground-level 20 miles away.

It’s called using a BVR missile for BVR, sorry that’s so hard for you to comprehend xD

What range are you referring to by bvr then because if you get much closer then you going to be in range of the Mica aswell

What makes you think I would be at ground level

yk that BVR isnt always going 5km up and fly straight for radar to spot right?

wouldnt mind giving the 120A/B a slight buff in the close range fights and removing the C5 from the ability to be used by any plane and only keeping it for the slamraam

25 miles and above, AMRAAM has no issues hitting but the Mica will :)

*AMRAAM has no issues hitting a braindead target but MICA will (slightly)
Fixed that for you

MICA wont have any issue either wdym
hitting a flying straight target at 5k alt
even a 7E-2 can do that(if u can get lock ofc)

Remember when you claimed that 40+ km was an “unrealistic” number

You’ve obviously never used the Mica otherwise you’d know about the ridiculous amount of time it takes for it to travel that far

So you think that a Mica has a HIGHER chance of hitting a target over 25 miles away than an AMRAAM? That is the hardest copium I’ve ever seen xD

Your reading comprehension is apparently just as bad as your understanding of ARHs in-game.

You might want to re-read what you typed…

I didn’t mis-type anything.

The MICA will (slightly) have issues hitting targets over 40km. This is what I said.

40-50km it will still have to survive the TVC wobble, and beyond 50km it will self destruct.

It also doesn’t change the fact that either missile hitting a target from a 40km launch just indicates you are firing at a bad player, probably much like yourself.

The Mica wouldn’t even get near the target if they’re manoeuvring at all, my guy look at any of the videos posted showcasing all of the ARHs, you will see that the Mica takes absolutely forever to travel long distances because of the high drag, hell even the PL-12 outcompetes it in BVR…
