What is the effective range of R-77 / Derby vs AIM-120A

Here have big question. When Gaijin will give a chance of the pilots to show thier skills, why im saying this? Its a simple AIM-120A has double range of the R-77. Fly models of the USSR top jets are not that must be. Why Gaijin diside to cut from USSR jets and missles ? Same like a year before R-60M vs AIM-9L. Yes in the past R-27 was better from SPARROWS but in this times multipathing was on 100m now multipathing is on 50m and in game still has a trees higest from 50m. And what Gaijin did in last update? They are give USSR squadron JET who must be add it with MiG-29SMT. Also they are say its a pointless to add R-77-1 because that missile has same harecteristcs like R-77 seems like Gaijin know better what haracteristics has both missles does not metter from manufactur and country. They are just say this is the real game and our replcas of the real jets and missles are real :D Gaijin stop brake your own game PLS!!! If you back on old mechanics in battles NATO Jets vs USSR and Chinese. The statistic will be 85% wins for NATO. Maybe because NATO Jets are better in Gaijin game and real life who knows. For the game Gaijen for sure.

I myself am quite curious about how the Derby compares to the Aim-120A/B. It should be much better at close ranges but I’ve yet to be able to compare them ingame.

They R-Darter which is the same as the derby ( I have the UK gripen) can pull some very ridiculous maneuvers. It definitely has less range than the AIM-120 but it seems similar in playstyle to the MICA/ R-77 as a shorter range fox 3

I find the R darter extremely bad, most launches fail to track even with closing head on, not sure if im doing things wrong or it just sucks compared to aim120

I am unable to find any data to substantiate this, but it has been circulated on this forum that all Fox-3s have the same seeker. Having used the R-77s, MICAs and AMRAAMs, my experience has been the same.

The only thing that differs is their kinematic performance with AMRAAMs being the most consistent hitting targets beyond 12ks and MICAs being the best within 12ks.
