well but then r-77-1 would cry

Perhaps. Id prefer they start with the seeker buffs personally.
As for speed… Is there an issue in that regard?
I dont know if there is any docs for the A/B or C5 in terms of travel time or speed but the C5 should in theory be slower off the rails as its the same motor as the A/B but heavier if im not mistaken

They already do even tho the R77-1 is already a better missile.

Honestly if they gave the Current C-5 a harder to notch seeker than the others to make up for its lack of close range ability it would slot pretty well into to current Meta as an alternative to the 50 G close range missiles, but since its so easy to notch the meta will always favor the mica since you can get close for free.
yup
kinda, the 120 is just really slow in a 10-20km shot or overhead shot compare to other missiles ive tested(prem), the manuverability shit my game the most, it just cant pull enough in a close quarter, too easy to notch, too slow to reach running target and overall just kinda awful
although i like how good it is in BVR or long range missiles volley, usually get 1-2 kills or sometimes 4-6 kills
honestly im not sure either, it just doesnt make sense if newer state of the art missiles is slower than the older generation for “reason”
Yeah, I agree. The beamwidth report is over a year old now, still not been added. I dont mind the balance of having a missile better suited for longer ranges on paper. But in practice it just doesnt work. especially when they are so easy to defeat at the moment

The AIM-120C-7 development began in 1998 and included improvements in homing and greater range (actual amount of improvement unspecified)
should be different in this way but this missile is pretty new and still classified

It is kinda insane tho that the C-5 and A have the same seeker even tho the C-5 is a lot newer
Hmm… I dont necessarily have issue with that actually. Like for example. I dont think there is a huge amount of difference in the MMW seeker on the Brimstone 1 that entered service in 2005 and the Spear-3 which had its first test firing this year. Probably is some improvements, but if it aint broke…
But regardless of that, A/B & C5 should definetly be better than they are currently depicted.

i feel like the main reason why gaijin copy paste missiles stats because its easier to modify code and put less strain on the server because imagine having 200 lines of different codes for 20 differents missiles instead of having 15 lines of code for 10 missiles and 10 lines of code for 10 other missiles and 10 for 1 missile(im looking at you mica)
Which it should have due to the seeker being a field upgradable software to allow for upgraded intercept paths, improved radome analog signal / chaff filtering algorithms etc. over the 120A at least. The 120B can also get upgrades so it’d be difficult to prove the B/C have different software even though they have different seeker parts.
(It’s in the patents)
The C has it’s radome integrated into it’s structure so it technically should be able to sustain G’s for longer. (Also in patents)
Lower by 5% and check results. I often play around 90%. Eurofighters need around 80-85%.
If you are playing extended matches against a few guys you can bump it to 100% again if you want.
Currently the A is modeled mostly using RAF docs for the B. So for the most part the B & C5 then should probably have the same seeker for the most part. Its just proving any differences.

true im just confused as to why they randomly decided that just the mica should have a better seeker than all the others
nah im lwk stupid so i need maximum situational awareness
my death on f15e is either i crashed, stall and crashed or die during a dog fight anyways cuz im not competence enough to properly dog fight
i never die in BVR 100% of my death is what i describe above
Id agree, but then MICA blew that out of the water. Keep them all the same or model them unqiuely.

because of dedicated groups to spam bug reports for buffs to exclusively french aircraft and missiles
unique and gaijin is not gonna be in the same sentence
Ive been playing around with my RWR sensitivity and it just seems really subtle. I think mine is like
40% currently.
The thing is, with overly sensitive RWR, your situation awareness will be bad because it will constantly feed you lies.
By decreasing it a bit, you ignore rear and, to a lesser extent, side lobes at higher ranges. Which will help you to pay attention to stuff that is going towards you and probably aware of you.
You also don’t want to have radar missile warnings from missiles that already passed you in a notch and are pointing their rear at you, or from the side lobes of missiles targeting teammates away from your position.
