You mean some of us did 5 to 7 years of study for nothing???
yep, no need, everything is on youtube now, and soon chatGPT.

@Mav-jp you mean this:
-
@molnibalage rage nothing. You’re saying idk what I’m talking about I’m saying let’s do some BVR then and I’m a FNG so you should drag me pretty easily.

@molnibalage fly a mig29s or a su35 I’ll fly the viper.

I do not know what is FNG but your starting post was this. Pure stupidity.
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
The AIM-120C-5 does not need “range modification” because:
- The missile has thrust and drag modeling and not a “range” value.
- It has been explained what the EZ is.
- Even if you had larger kinematic range you have to consider the maneuvers of the target. On the edge when the ARH goes online the plane needs just a slight adjustment and it takes itself outside the DLZ.
It would be better just simply drop the topic.

@molnibalage no you sit here and talk to me like I’m a child and tell me idk what I’m talking about and that you can’t find words for how stupid my post was so I’m saying let’s do some BVR with you in a superior aircraft. Put your money where your mouth is. Fucking New Guy. You’ve been flying for 10+y and ydek that? Sheesh.

Sir, you may be in the wrong shop.

@dumba Lol. What makes ya say that? All I want is realistic rmax on the missles that is literally all.

Not cool.
English is not Molni’s first language.I would (very much) question your ability to engage Molni in HIS first language.
As you say, Molni may not “(even) know” some random internet slang. He does - however - know quite a good deal about weaponry.
Please feel free to criticise one’s knowledge of tech.
Please do refrain - however - from criticising one’s language skills.Those for whom a glass house serves as an abode, and all that…
I would engage you in BVR, however… my AN-2 is currently in for servicing.
Gods forbid that I should engage you in a BLR.
(Beyond Literacy Range. Sheesh.)
PS: FYI - I do not disagree with your observable and objective experience. This is neither an attack on your findings nor an expression of doubt of such.

@Aragorn it’s not some random internet slang bro. A new pilot is referred to as an FNG until he gets his callsign. I only came at him like that bc he spoke to me like I was a child and kinda belittled me. I never belittle anyone and I can’t stand it when ppl do it to me or anyone else so I figured we both stfu and let our skills talk. As I previously said I’m a FNG so what do I know ️ lol
-
Well I just hit an IL-76 at 64nm with AIM-120C… which correct me if I’m wrong is more than “57nm”.
So I guess they need to reduce the range a bit LOL No I’m joking!
In fact the missile was still doing ~mach 3.3 at target impact so might be able to get a bit more plus I think I can do higher faster launch so this is not the absolute limit IMO.
-
@Hubert3000 idk lol I’ll try it again when I get home. I tried on an a50 couple days ago and I couldn’t hit it from I wanna say 45ish nm idr exactly but ik it was between 40 and 50. He was beaming angels 27 my angels were 32

if he was beaming this is normal you can’t hit it at those distances
-
@Mav-jp so you were hot on hot when you fired that? I figured I’d be able to hit him bc of how much higher then him I was, I also pulled up to about 20* nose up when I fired it too.
-
@Mav-jp my bad tagged the wrong guy lol

You are correct there. Understood. Point taken.
As a self-professed “FNG”, I am impressed by your thick skin.
Kudos for that. -
@Aragorn bro idc about any other type of insults I just can’t stand belittling. I would’ve came at him the same exact way if I saw him do it to someone else too. Then I told him to put his $ where his mouth is and he said “it would be best to drop the topic” lol ok fair enough just don’t belittle ppl.

Some people here are very young, some people here are very old. Some of us are FNG, some are OG. Some of us have deep but narrow knowledge of a few things. Some of us have broad but shallow knowledge of many things.
There should be no shame in holding a misconception. We have all held a misconception about something, somewhere, at some time. Even in this thread, Molni expressed a misconception about how the de-agg bubble works in BMS. None of us knows everything about everything.
Anyway, the important point here is that the market manager of Raytheon has been sacked… the new head of marketing is Hubert3000, who had the clever idea to measure missile range when fired from low earth orbit.

i think we could put a SR71 flyin mach 3+ at 50 kft and hit a 100NM range with a AIM120C ?
i do believe raython real issue is to compete with Meteor which is a statoreactor engine…
I think the only way would be to control the Solid proppelant in some way to make it burn much longer , but that would mean you would have to accept to not reach MACH 4.0 but maybe only MACH 1.5 from the start. Maybe this is what they managed to do ? according to initial Contact distance manage the way the powder is burnt and exchanging Speed vs distance ?
So for instance
contact at 50 NM => normal burn
contact over 50NM => burn longer but accept less velocity ?would that be possible to control ? i’m not sure , that would probably mean a liquid propellant ?
