What to Expect for the AIM-120D AMRAAM

[M900_Lover]

AIM-120D

Compared to the AIM-120C-5 in game we can expect:

• GPS navigation
• Longer battery life
• Two way datalink (unlikely to come in my opinion as in WT it would be tricky to implement this in a positive way)
• Better High Off Boresight capabilities
• Improved motor/propulsion
• Seeker with better chaff resistance

It would fly :D, and once hit another jet, it will kill that jet :D

If implemented correctly, it will probably be the best missile we have

Absolutely nothing Gaijin doesn’t want Russian winrates to drop or daddy putin would br very upset. Russia gets buffs we get “new” things that are sooo nerfed it doesn’t matter

handholding

[MrKrabsPattys]

You say? Why would it be handholding? Cause the Rafale and Eurofighter will still dominate in WVR and be competitive in BVR too. Depends on the platform that the 120D will be on. The EX might be able to be there on par with both of them. The Su-30SM2 will still win by the sheer number of not bad R-77-1s, if the EX does not receive the 14 pylon which it won’t probably. Depends on how they would integrate the EX. It might not be the EX afterall. It might just be an F-16 or F/A-18 which then would be fairly ok cause one had 6 missiles and the other is slow as shit. The Strike eagle was not viable for a tad bit now. The Golden Eagle was meh to begin with.

TL:DR
I don’t see handholding right now, as i have no idea what platform will employ the 120D, or even the 120Ds capabilities. They might just butcher it anyways
