Why does the Su-30SM get R-77-1 while the F/A-18C is stuck with AIM-120B?

it’s funny you say this when you yourself lack comprehension after it has been explained to you how your claims are just outright false

Talking about C-5 actually we already have C-5 equivalent in the game it AAM-4 which all gaijin had to do is unnerf it

because until they change how they model drag (and fix the crux of the r-77 derivatives being bad) the 77-1 is still worse than the 120a/b against anything other than bots and players that act like bots.

""aam4 and pl12 beat aim120 at medium{pl12} and really long ranges {aam-4} while mica absolutely crush everything in sup 15km and r dartr is beating 120b at until 25km so the ironically you are saying copium seems to project from you so please cheak yourself and your information first before speaking “”



The F-15E at 10,500 meters and Mach 1.68 fires an AIM-120B that hits Mach 4.30. Meanwhile, a Su-30 cruising lower at 7,000 meters and Mach 1.30 launches its R-77-1and that missile still reaches almost the same speed as the AIM-120B But people act like the F15e altitude and speed automatically make its 120B unbeatable against the R-77-1 Come on Even if the 120B edges out the R-77-1, it’d be by a tiny margin, not some landslide victory.
And let’s talk about the jets themselves. The Su-30’s slower at Mach 1.30, but that doesn’t mean it’s helpless. Being slower and lower actually lets it notch missiles faster and pull harder turns compared to the F-15E hauling ass at Mach 1.70. Plus, the Su-30 can carry 12 R-77-1s versus the F-15E 6-8 AIM-120B Volume matters in a dogfight you can’t dodge forever
That’s why the F18C needs the AIM-120C-5. The C-5 has better guidance close the gap against the R-77-1 especially since the Hornet isn’t as fast as the F-15E The 120B just doesn’t cut it anymore against in f18c please don’t say you saying add it to f15e I’m only talking about how f18c with 120c-5 actually a good counter to su30 r77-1

“i think they would unnerf amm-4 when they add f2a late”

Sure, and I want to sling PL15s from a J16 right this moment.

Speed is king, why do you think people are complaining about the f/a 18

look again at OP’s post.

he is complaining not only about F/A-18.

He complains about ‘R-77-1’ because he believes that it destroyed the balance and looks like Russian bias.
and suggesting ‘give AIM-120C to F-15E and F/A-18C’ for solution.

hello ?

umm i think you miss this part ?

The USA main is crying

they arent
aim-7f has a smaller diameter than the 7m

the 7m has a different seeker irl than the 7f

because they are alot better than the su-30

inverse monopulse right, same as R-27 and 24.

yes,
or the skyflash for that matter

The only actual imbalance there is in your own skill. The missiles are fine, as well as their platforms.

The AIM-120B is carried by absolute BVR monsters like the F-15E and Eurofighter, which can get high and fast in a short time. The R-77-1 is comparable, if not slightly better than the AMRAAM-B, but is mounted on a platform with much worse acceleration - the Su-30SM.

Up until this update, Russia received the short end of the stick in air battles, like the Su-27 flight model severely underperforming for over a year, the R-77 being an incredibly draggy missile and being unable to compete in long range shots with the AIM-120, the Flankers having horrendous radars that would take forever to display/update information, and so on.

Should America or other nations suffer because Russia did it a few updates ago? No. Should Russia somehow be nerfed more because US mains keep crying they arent automatically winning the game? Also no. You just have to understand that Russia being competitive is not “russian bias” or “unfair”.

You sound exactly the same as Germany mains did a few years ago arguing for historical accuracy and balance because their Tiger tank was facing equal opponents instead of BT-7s and early T-34s and Shermans.
