Aim120

Are we ever going to get the aim120d or even the c7? Also is there a way to modify the range on the aim120c5? It’s range is 57nmi and it definitely can’t hit targets even 50 nmi away…

I’d just like to have the 4.35 model back.

AIM120 models did not change at all
A yes one did, the AIM120C was a copy paste of the AIM120B in 4.35 , now it’s more realistic in term of range capabilities
if you are talking about Aquisition modeling, well, there is no shame to like arcade modeling, but this is not the route BMS chose to take

@bjjman94 Hi. You are invited to check out the 4.37 OFM Theaters. OFMKTO is out now, and has the AIM-120D
-
@drtbkj ok. Do you have a link? Is the ammram range realistic?
-
@Mav-jp how? Hot on hot 50nmi out I’m not in range hell even 40nmi out I’m pretty sure I’m still not in range. How is that irrelevant?

It’s range is 57nmi
If a Tu-160 blackjack bomber is screaming straight toward you at mach 2.3 and does not maneuver at all… and you are screaming straight toward it at mach 1.2… and both of you are at 35k ft or higher… and you fire the missile at optimal loft trajectory when the blackjack is 56.51 mi away… and you work for Raytheon and your job title is Marketing Manager… then you might reasonably say the AIM-120C range is 57 mi.

You might even push to a sr71 is your really are a good marketing manager

@Mav-jp - no. I’m not talking about Range or Acq…I’m talking about your commentary on midcourse.
While one aspect may have gotten more “realistic” others have suffered…and frankly, the number of reports of discontent surprises me quite a bit, because they are almost all about things other than what I am thinking of.

@Mav-jp - It’s inside baseball stuff…about all I can say is that the 4.35 model was more “correct” before the change, as you described the change.

no it was not, PG was 100% whereas the real has a PG between 20% and 90% depending on conditions
denying this just means you have absolutly no idea of what the real performances of the AIM120 are.

@Mav-jp - Nope. You’re not getting me because I’m not saying what I’m getting at. Because I can’t.

@VIPER-0 - I think I’d have to kill both of us…

Plus, our other Theaters are on the way. As for your question… We took the best data we could find, and were very fortunate to have someone really good to “crunch the numbers” . Personally, I am very proud of this missile. We tried to make it as realistic as possible. We specifically made it to NOT be a magic bullet. During testing I was getting kills at 55 miles against fighters… But, it could be defeated. To me, that indicates realism. However, get inside a 45-46 mile NEZ and watch the fun begin.
How, realistic? You tell me. The more feedback we get, the better we can make it. There is one current bug we’re working on , and think we’ve fixed. We had a guidance issue, and in fixing that we got a “Go STT” message on the HUD. In other words the HUD thinks it’s a SARH missile, even though it’s not. That fix will be released soon, we hope -
@drtbkj ok thanks I’ll check it out. Kills on fighters at 55nmi if the conditions are right sounds realistic. Idk I was just shocked that I couldn’t get a kill literally 10m ago with the aim120c5 on a su35 when I was 10nmi or so fired and he went cold. I only let him get that close to me bc I knew he fired off all his fox3s.

@airtex2019 Lol! That Raytheon marketing dude sounds like a real schmuck on wheels.
