DCS FIGHTER PILOT Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I was under the impression that early this year, the AMRAAM would continue to get overhauled to perform closer to claimed values. Like the Aim-7 last year, the AMRAAM is the new test bed. It’s hard to tell though if it did get updated in the last patch (2.5.6, February 14, 2020). The change log says nothing about an update to AMRAAM but perhaps did someone forget to mention it? From what I can tell, it performs pretty much the same as it did last patch. With that in mind, I am hoping that we will see more improvements as the year progresses because as of now it still seems to be underperforming. Example, two F-16’s head on, both Mach 1, 30000ft, opponent fires Aim-120c at 11nm, Defender (me) performs split S at 10nm and burns for the deck, AMRAAM looses energy and misses, closest point, a bit under half a mile. Example 2, F-16 and Jf-17, same physical parameters as in example one, opponent fires SD-10 at 11nm, defender performs split s at 10nm and burns for the deck more aggressively than before, SD-10 successfully intercepts. Now according to Deka Ironworks and real life sources, the Sd-10 performs better than the 120b and less than the 120c. As of now in game, the first statement is painfully true but the second is clearly not. Can we expect to see more improvements to the AMRAAM as the year progresses or is this it? Can someone (official) please confirm what will happen next? Edited March 3, 2020 by DCS FIGHTER PILOT
