Will the aim120D really "save" US top tier?

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

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.

worse according to BVVD on the dev stream

They probably intend to increase the weight slightly from C5 hence the slightly worse turn.

yeah, I gave up on AMRAAMs a long time ago, i just handhold them as much as possible

Gaijin already made up their mind on the performance there’s no changing it. There have been several reports on the issue WITH good sources and they’re either outright denied or sent to suggestion purgatory with the dreaded “forwarded as suggestion” reply.

He said that the flight path It picks is optimized for long range engagements, which makes it less effective in close range situations. “BVVD”
