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

Statistically INGAME (which is where that was referring to) they are the exact same missile, the only difference is that the 7M starts maneuvering before the 7F does, which in turn actually makes it worse

nope the 7f ingame has a smaller diameter which means it has less drag

I no universe is the su33 underpowered. Absolutely the best aircraft of the battle rating. In general flankers are really fun imo, su27sm is the worst and it does suffer alot until you get 12 missiles. Su30sm is great and su34 is decent.

They have the same seeker. Smaller diameter is completely irrelevant as far as affecting gameplay in a perceivable way

Lock-range 20 km, my guess

Personally, AIM-120C-3 and AIM-120C-4 equivalent

Decompression BR to 15.0 before add AIM-120C-7 in sometime 2026

Another 4th gen & 4.5 gen fighter aircraft 15.0 in the future

  • J-10B late
  • J-11BH or J-11BHG
  • J-15T
  • Rafale F4.2 (Rafale M)
  • F/A-18E late (Block II)
  • new F/A-18C with AN APG-79(V)4 AESA radar or
    F/A-18C+
  • F-16C Block 52 (post PoBIT upgrade)
  • F-15D Baz
  • F-16AM eMLU (RTAF & IDAF)
  • JAS 39 Gripen E
  • CF-18A HEP 2
  • EF-2000 & F-2000A Tranche 3
  • F-15C (APG-63(V)3 radar)
  • F-15E (AN/APG-82(V)1 AESA radar)
  • MiG-35
  • MiG-29M2
  • MiG-29KR (9-41)

Its definetly the better missile.

How is it the best missile? The range reslly doesnt matter past a threshold, dodging a 25+ kilometer shot is extremely easy. Like you dint need to notch chaff or anything, 2 cranks going cold and its done.

the 7f is able to pull more g more easy

It isnt. It wouldnt even make sense.

it does

Again it doesnt have ANY perceivable effect on the game. Also point out they have an extremely minor difference in range doesnt somehow proove it can pull more gs faster

never said it can pull it faster,
I said it can pull it easier, ergo losing less energy because it has less drag

Doesnt affect gameplay, the difference is simply too small

my brother in christ,
the whole point was the 7m and 7f being identical i just proved you wrong on that

They are identical, a inperceivable differen in diameter doesnt change that. Youre being insufferable.

yes it does because they aren identical

the r-77-1 is only like a single percent better than the aim-120A/B

Where do you think I am referring to, IRL or Ingame?
Also, is a smaller diameter that marginal of a difference?

Please, for the love of god stop trying to argue something when literally it does not matter

You’re crying so loudly, I don’t understand why your embarrassing post is even being discussed. It’s only because your F15 & F16 are facing direct competition, even though they still have a better climb rate. And the R77-1 is barely on par with the AIM120. You’re such an embarrassing player. The only thing that should be discussed is your huge skill issue. For you, the game is fair if you simply climb to 10km altitude, fire 8 amraams, and turn back to the airfield while getting 2-5 kills. for you its fair when at 14.0 mig23 would fly against your f15. You should probably uninstall the game and be ashamed of your post. So ridiculous. You’re crying so loudly, it can be heard across all continents. And that’s just because you now have to fight against players who are almost as powerful as you. learn to play or uninstall.

I noticed that after the introduction of the Su-30, the AIM-120 began to behave worse, much worse, they go into chaff, constantly go into the ground and generally switch to allies. I watch replays and see how the AIM-120 simply loses the target that flies right in front of it. Tell me, maybe someone else noticed this too?
