Yes, the R-77-1 beats them at these ranges, now the AIM-120 is the worst top tier ARH by a good margin

crazy how often this happens
It barely turns above 20ish Gs because of the anemic AoA, it’s pathetic for an ARH missile.
But hey, we’re allegedly wrong for asking to get it fixed because of reasons like “It won’t change anything”, “Other missiles should also be buffed” or basically opinionated nonsense and spam.

the max it reaches in the clip is 24.4G but thats after the amraam has built up all of its speed and is trying to hit a very fast and maneuvering target
This is actually so sad to see lmao. If this pace keeps up, we are in for a hell of a meta when newer ARH missiles are added.

First thing ic is that you were too slow to begin with hindering the aim 120 ability to reach its proper speeds adding to the fact that it had to maneuver right after launch
Are yall even debating here??
Is it not clear that the AIM-120 is pretty bad? Or that the AMRAAM is not only available only to the U.S.? and some buffs will give most countries new capabilities?.
The French mains don’t want their mica to be matched, and relax it probably won’t. Giving the AMRAAM WVR performance won’t match the MICA, maybe a better seeker gating, but this thread is for the maneuverability issues only

WVR turn performance could be somewhat dismissed if the seeker was even slightly better to enhance BVR and tracking outside of knife fight in phonebooth furball. But that’s beating a horse that’s so dead it has been mummified and placed in a snail shaped tomb.

the problem with the seeker gating, is that the devs have said through the bug report mods that bc WT does not implement ECCM, they will not do anything to update the seeker head. so with that in mind i focused the post towards WVR performance as that has not been hard denied.

This results in the AIM-120D and the Meteor having Sparrow seeker while the PL-15 will be based of propaganda

This sounds like cope tbh

we don’t have any info on the PL-15 seeker so it will have to most likely be based on propaganda statistics and Gaijin’s own guesstimate, also side note their statistics could be realistic but they have shown a trend similar to Russia with over promoting their technology, the west does this as well to be honest, however much less frequently which is why it has generated trust while Russia and China have this stereotype.

The pl-15 seekerhead has gnss, ins, datalink and an aesa seekerhead.and that’s just from the export version

And because the current PL-12 is some meta defining wunderwaffe is it?
China has never gotten preferential treatment in the missile department beyond PL-5Bs in the J-7E’s time in the sun 2-3 years ago
J-10 was the second best plane and became best plane in the game for a bit before the eurofighter released after the 15e got nerfed

China’s done the exact opposite, scraping together literally any sources about chinese weapons is tough at the best of times, compare that to russia who have millions of MIC related documents and brochures to go off of.
As far as media advertising they are fairly lowkey too, most representation comes from sparse official photography and defense expos
