To be fair that’s mostly cause the aim7 is slow as hell which is why it has a smaller turning circle, not that it necessarily pulls more

eh, yeah but smaller turning circle is what matters for HOBS or close range headons, in which cases aim 120 is actually worse than 7f (if you keep target in radar limits)
and other ARHs that accelerate faster than AIM120 still have significantly lower turning circles

Great,… because HOBS never was what the AIM-120AB or C were designed for anyway,…
so back to square 1:

ok, so we should lower mica range to 10km because it wasnt designed for long range?

I’d concede your argument (even if its questionable and vague) if the game would still attempt to be a 1:1 sim, but it isn’t.
They should just give the day one HOBS performance back (which wasn’t fantastic either, but it was good enough to get the job done) and move on.

Bug reports and adjustments are not all made out of thin air,… those informations come from what they have as sources,…
Proved them wrong, and they’ll change it,… but that mean that players should go for documentation (declassified one) and have enough of those documentations to prove what you’re claiming (HOBS ability)

what “Multi-purpose” means?
except that nerf was made without documentation or sources…
and there are accepted bug reports showing AIM 120 is lacking in both pull and energy retention because it cant hit shots it did in IRL testing in game
and? what do you think it means when its talking about AMRAAM

lol, like the nerfs they previously did to Challengers’ engines without sources?
Like the unverifiable specs of the Kh-38MT?
Like how they artificially gimped EFTs groundpounding with Brimstone 1s when it historically only could use from Brimstone 2s onwards?
Like how it has been reported time and time again the M1 series neck to be buffed and there’s still no signs of proper volumetrics being applied?
Get your political correctness out of here, you’re on the verge of arguing in bad faith. This game uses the bug report system when it needs to shift the meta and consumer trends, not because of realism or balance.

what sources do they have before implementing the missile?
still sources somewhere
Interesting then yeah that’s a flaw for the Devs because it has the energy to fly so much further than that from what they already have in the game they just need to extend that value

HOBS is probably the wrong term none of the fox 3’s have HOBS performance with the exception being the MICA. Better WVR performance is all we are asking for, to be better that the AIM-7M and similar to the AAM-4. I have shown clear evidence that the guidance delay should be less, and the aim-120 is an upgrade to maneuverability over the aim-7 which isn’t a smoking gun but it should be considered.
Range IS important tho, you dont need to actually hit someone to make a big difference at the beginning of a match.
R77-1 and AIM-120’s are great for putting on pressure early on and making people change course and deny good positioning when their RWR starts screaming allowing your own teammates(and yourself) to push in to advantageous position.
if only WT players were thinking Strategy,… but no,… they all keep pushing to mid map,…
I meant I have evidence in two articles claiming the aim-120 is more maneuverable than the seven
is that so? cause last time i checked a issue thats still present from over a year ago and ACCEPTED has yet to be corrected

and here is one of the C-5 under performing and marked as not enough data even though there was plenty there

Irony.

“Plenty there” and its ai generated nonsense. You need to have good sources when making a bug report (2 secondary sources or 1 primary source)
