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

No fox 3 is bad, derby is the only one half bad. But amraam is extremely overrated

I havent noticed it. Is it aim7m levels if wobble?

Hang on let me video it in a match, wobble doesn’t appear in test drive

They aren’t? The Su-35 is quite literally worse in every way with the Su-37 having the POSSIBILITY of a better engine (that was never procured until half a decade later).

Its a fact that ur talking trash. Aim120 on of the worst missles in the game, good joke xD

I mean, if Gaijin decided to add the AIM-120C this year or maybe months from now would it make the F-15E almost unbeatable and overpowered?

C-5 is 77-1 equivalent irl (even by the time 77-1 around C-7 already in service but i wouldn’t go that far)

If we’re going by the introduction to service date, technically the 120D is the 77-1’s equivalent, as both entered official service in 2015.

Good thing service dates have nothing to do with it

aim-120A was the best until it was nerfed. Now it’s a piece of crap that gets distracted by traps or flies into the ground. AIM-120 constantly shakes, its beam is very wide, which is why the missile can switch to an ally or traps or even forget why it was flying and fly in the other direction.

Its an exceptional missile

Sounds more like a player issue.

120 wasn’t nerfed recently?

There are no problems with the player. When it comes to the technical side, experience is not important. I studied server replays, how the missiles behave. R77-1 very rarely goes to chaff, I even conducted an experiment, in 99% of cases R77-1 does not go to chaff and takes a more correct lead, but AIM-120, if it flies straight down to an aircraft that is near the ground, then 100% will fly into the ground.

It was not officially weakened at all. But the AIM-120 at the time of release and now are two completely different missiles.

What am I supposed to be watching? You firing 2 quick missiles at the same notching and chaffing plane?
