Excelent in that roll yes
it doesnt, the raptor can use its RWR as a guidance method for aim120’s. and the f22’s radar can be on and locking you without you knowing due to LPI technology.
anyways my proposal is buff all aim120’s lower drag coef until it can hit a non maneuvering target according to the report. then lower the fin aoa drag until it can hit the maneuvering target according to the report. give C-5 a higher loft profile. and depending how well this does lower the C-5’s seeker width again according to the report. this all should help the aim120 with turning and bvr performance. not OP by any means but a good all around missile which it just doesnt compete at all WVR

The issue with this is that there is a tradeoff for time to impact vs terminal energy retained for a given range past a point. As a more aggressive loft will increase the energy available for terminal maneuvers but mean that the missile takes a more circuitous route to the target.
This is compounded by the fact that a PID controller is used so there is no current way to implement a properly “shaped” (waypoint based) trajectory. All that can really be done is to offset the terminal lookdown angle to a higher and higher value.
Unfortunately gaijin will always push player for WVR in air rb unless that changes and Dogfights in ground Rb and at closer range F-35 would suffer
Ehh the only one I have an interest in is the F-35 B from the Royal navy and it will have HMS and ASRAAM.
Doesn’t matter how well you turn when all I have to do it point at you and fire my death ray heater.
That’s cute considering how optimistic you are when it comes to ASRAAM or any other next gen Ir missiles.
Even the other Next gen ir would be able to do the same
You can do the same with with 9M lol.
Many a time have I used the sea harrier FA.2 and just thrown 9M at flankers and fulcrums.
Huh?
And?
ASRAAM will not be super op death stick that will grant you easy kills everytime you fire one of them.
Knowing Gaijin they will gimp next gen ir missiles to the point where they can match R-74.
What?
Ok? They are already dangerous.
Maybe learn how to employ the missile in its MEZ and you’d have better luck lol.
Fixing the flight models in the game would go a long ways towards making American planes viable again; especially in supersonic flight regimes.
Alternatively, Gaijin could just arcadify the flight models in the same way Flanker flight model is, or the way Mirage 2000 flight model is and give them supersonic turn rates that are massively over their book values.

Oh look someone brought skill issue card to the table.
What makes you think I suffer in current environment? Try not to get too cocky buddy.
Goodness me I had no idea how you have your current opinion.
9M dueling is very scary for the plane that doesn’t have them.
9M doesn’t even have its correct G pull in game.
ASRAAM has a better seeker more range and a much better G pull and RMIN.
Gives you a decent fighting chance.
I think you still don’t understand what I meant.
ASRAAM/IRIS-T, Python-5 or Aim-9X are basically guaranteed kills irl while in warthunder they will be gimped to the point where you can effectively counter them because Gaijin will not allow you to press single button and win the match.
notice how F14 was not mentioned
clearly F14 is the G.O.A.T

I get that it’s the same with 9L but it still allows worse planes to defend themselves at close range.
kinda different cause the planes the fought the 9L irl where flareless in the falklands and this holds true in game but the AIM-9X has been flared before its not immpossible to dodge just unlikely
