For me, AIM-7 is useless @ > 8nm, unless the target is head on with very high closure. The missile simply runs out of energy and falls out of the sky...

Already having withdrawal symptoms of AA combat in my beloved F15C....so any idea when the next patch (with hopefully missile 'improvements') might be arriving? :music_whistling:

Care to translate?

Is that an armoured cockpit? I guess it needs to be!

How does the DL in red jets work in-game?

Wow nice data! From my (nicely stable :) )online session tonight I'd put current 120b max range against manoeuvring target @ approx 5nm, 120C @ 7-8nm. Haven't tried r77 yet.

No offence intended, I assure you (but don't you think you might deserve just a teeny bit of attitude for this? After all, the entire F15 fleet in Georgian theatre just got grounded).

How wrong is it possible to be in one post? :thumbup:

+1,000,000 squared

Indeed, I've eaten more dangerous chocolate puddings. R73 > Aim 120C :megalol: (Just caught up with my own aim120B and blew myself up - just like you Skate, except I was horizontal!) Seriously, no disrespect to the testers, but WTH?

So could you clarify if the aim-120 übernerf was deliberate to appease the red whiners, or just a WIP glitch,i.e its BVR supremacy will be restored in a future update? Honesty would be appreciated so we know where we stand :)

So 6th gen = fighter drones, or are we not there yet?

The 1.2.3 changelog certainly didn't mention missile guidance being nerfed, did it? Implied promises, then....(semantics).

In other words, you 'fixed' the missiles by first breaking them and then deliberately releasing them while still known to be broken? So FC3 customers, who spent the last 2 months being promised a long list of AA missile improvements, are in fact having their product effectively deactivated until "probably" 1.2.4 (we hope)? Words fail me. Beta or not, why is buying what should be the greatest flight sim product ever made actually just a prolonged exercise in helpless frustration? Do you guys have any empathy with what I'm communicating here?

Well imagine trying to throw a brick underwater and you're about there.

Is that a Finnish expression? ;)

U.S. probably doesnt, but Israel/Japan ever-so-probably might....

You obviously haven't tried hitting a barn door with the 'new' aim120C then.....

Yup Aim-120C is now about as agile as a V2 at >5nm...... Majorly nerfed and utterly useless :mad: Please reinstate the 1.2.2 missile afm!

Seems an unfair fight until the raptors get their promised helmet sights + aim9x: any dope with a typhoon + HMCS + IRIS-T oughta win the WVR fight against basic aim9m every time, much ado about nothing.....? Can they really detect raptors out to 50k with IRST?...now THAT sounds like a story!

Any links for the uninformed?

Logic? There is no logic: "I Want To Believe!"

Lol'ed :megalol:

Jammer off = F15 can lock you and launch missile from approx 25-27nm. Jammer on = approx 18 miles.
