They turn the same as the C-5, this will change nothing
This new AIM-120 wont do much more than C-5, you can relax

All Ive heard so far is that the DL remains active even when the seeker goes active , making them harder to notch. The F-15C GE was already scraping the barrel of needing to be 14.7 anyway, if that is the case, and they are harder to defeat, then that gives it a notable advnatage over pretty much everything else and would warrant a BR increase.
I know US mains dislike things being placed at appropriate BRs, but that is how balance works
Be-6 = Qing-6?
from the looks of it, its just a C5 with a higher (or no) gimbal limit. combined with the flight characteristics of the C5, its not hitng any extreme HOBS like the 77-1 or Pl12.
Absolute joke of a savior missle
Depends, if the range performance is good enough then the US might finally have a plane thats good at a specific job instead of being held back by some part of it
Thats been a thing for the past 2 years for every single plane and FOX-3 with DL on the radar btw
Again, i am not main[X], its just facts, this missile will bite the dust vs PL-12A, R-77-1, MICA and literally every other missile
Indeed, the only thing new is you can launch it backwards just as MICA or R-77-1, but it wont pull in at close ranges at all

I thought even now the missiles continued to receive updates from the onboard radar even after they went active?
No. Its not, the DL stops when the missile goes active.
Only after its been defeated by chaff or something, you can see on the radar, the DL channel (the circle around the target) stops when the missile goes active.
But usually by the time the DL restarts, its too late for the missile to react and it misses
Well yes, for BVR are really good, but that alone isnt a new thing when its not the only really good missile for BVR
Thats just not true, we have been using this since 2024 in air tournaments, its nothing new

This is from december 2024, we discovered this trick back in august of 2024 and maybe even earlier for the Anniversary Air Superiority 2024 tournament
That is look down only though, there are exceptions, but if shooting up or level ,it would switch off the DL.
iirc, the GNSS Fox-3s will maintain DL at all times
Gaijin, please add nctr to other planes’ mfd’s in sim.
Its been almost a year since you added it to only the SU30 and typhoon whiles most planes are capable of it.

But it might just be the thing the GE needs if it’s a really good missile at BVR
I hope the Derby-ER is placeholder… It reaches mach 1 at 10km… It has so much drag it’s unreal
