Hello , if you fly at 30000 ft and the bandit at 20000ft , you should have permission at 20-25 Nm . But if you shoot at this time you have 50% to miss . Its only to keep the bandit on defensive. With the AIM120 you can shoot at 15 nm to hope have a good kill :smilewink:.
If you shoot like IA at max range ,it's "too" easy to evade , a litle snake with some chaff ... :pilotfly:
Prefer the 120 C , the B model is not very efective.
For sparrow you can shoot at 10Nm in head to head , or 5 Nm if you are in Tail sector .
PS: i'm not BVR tactics professionnal ,but i've few hours of flight and every check by tacwiew .
AIM 120 are more effective if you shoot them in no escape zone . :megalol:
