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

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?

They have the same seeker files as the AIM-120A, they all do except the MICA

Yes, but in such a situation the K-77 would have hit the target.

It would not

I`m dont know. How do you knov it?

Its in the datamined files

lol I was responding to someone talking about the IRL missiles.

I don’t know, reading the bit below does heavily imply player issue:

Well could get PL15 then. I would really like to have some sort of clarification from Gaijin so that everyone understands that point.

You are switching things up.
Su-35 gets the Al-41,the Irbis-E and access to the r-37m, while being lighter than the su30

Yeah… Nope.

It doesn’t, the Su-35 gets the AL-31FM and N011, with its missiles suite only extending to the R-27EA and R-77.
It’s the same weight as the Su-30, albeit about ~300kg lighter with and a slightly lower empty weight.

you are wrong on the engine and the radar, the irbis was developed for the SU-35, if they didnt use it in the su35 where else?
