However D-JHMCS is being used on F-15EXs in Portland, which still has F-15Cs and is compatible with legacy JHMCS installations, so we may see some D-JHMCS in F-15Cs.
And it’s not like they correctly implemented JHMCS 1 yet anyway, missing a considerable number of features.

As far as I understand, NCTR is a fictional system invented by Gaijin. Because in real life, radar doesn’t show the aircraft model. Unless the transponder is on, of course.
it does, by recognizing the engine blade of aircraft
its a real thing
it is much more limited IRL than in game but its real
Question from someone who doesn’t play a ton of top tier: are the 120Cs not actually better than the A/Bs? what are the actual stats?
C’s are better beyond >20 km because while it doesn’t accelerate “hard” like A/B’s do, its thrust and lower drag is optimised for longer ranged shots. The C-5 also has the added advantage of being .4 Mach faster than its predecessors (which, again, doesn’t matter under <20 km as most of those shots taken are usually near deck and either missile will pretty much will top out at Mach 3 anyway)
You can try to get similar results with A/B’s but you’re only marginally gonna get there if you have either the F-15E or Eurofighter for that higher launch velocity.

Good to know, thank you.
What code said is right but the AIM-120A/B also pull harder, especially off the rail. So when you couple that with the better acceleration, it’s easier and faster to hit a target at around 10km with them than it is with the C. Easier for offbore shots too.
The B has a booster engine lasting 1.7 seconds and a sustainer lasting 5.3 seconds. The C has a single-stage engine lasting 7.8 seconds, weaker than the B booster but slightly stronger than the B sustainer giving it more total velocity but less sheer power right away.

SO launch Cs at the start of the match, save the Bs for close range shotgunning, thanks.
