Will the aim120D really "save" US top tier?

Just accepting all American planes will be ass forever
And those that decided to use American missiles

Also rip nasams and anything similar

But I’ve been saying this for some time now, these debates end up being a waste of time because they don’t offer any solutions. What I believe is that over time we may start to see changes in the missiles as new weapons are introduced into the game, but in the short term it’s very difficult to see any changes. However, in my opinion, American missiles are good at the moment.

yea so what’s the point of adding it lmao

sure it has IOG or whatever the C5 and A/B variant wont have, but its nothing major to actually help the planes that are receiving it. The core issue of aim120 is that they are so gimped and adding new one that are still gimped wont help anyone

AIM-120D-1 and D-2 cannot have more range than the C-7 by 50%, that is a compeletly fake number and is not possible. They are the same exact missile with different software/seekers, thats it. The only missile that actually has longer range is the D-3 due to having a longer motor.

Yea wonder that too seams to add nothing of value

They could buff the seeker(mica seeker)
They could add the possibility to reengage data link
They could maybe buff the engine

But nope nothing

Well given the current circumstances that thing will just be even worse than the C and D

Another missile trading maneuver ability for range
(Which is pretty useless in the current meta)

the reason for that is the fin size

that’s also why all of the AMRAAMs had an overload Nerf

Facts,we should boycott as Nato players lets see where this goes if the only targets they will fight be Russian like themselves

Theres a patent about the su 33 countermeasures blocks being interchangeable hense why it could get more countermeasures since the j15 derived from the su 33
And there maybe some pictures that could also show it with more than 48 cm

@Kingskofi this could happen

too much of a stretch

Not really since the compartment hasnt changed and most of the fighters China has come from Russia for the most part so it is totally possible that they used said patent to make new cm blocks of their own to fit on the jet

prove this then

This is the picture of the patent

any information this patent was used for the j15 and its not just a paper blueprint?

Hopefully the devs will acknowledge the reports for the aim120 models and improve the wing area coefficient to levels comparable with other missiles. This should improve the missile quite a lot. Enough better missiles have been added now that the initial nerf 120 received for balance is no longer needed.

lol no, this got shot down in the bug reports already

Wdym?

Gaijin said D will have same maneuverability as c-5

Yes this is accurate, the issue is that ALL of the 120’s were nerfed when they were first introduced to make them more balanced, because they had by far the best range initially.
