Here are the changes made to Aim-120A/B CxK 1.4 --> 1.425 (1.8% drag increase) WingAreaMult 1.3 --> 1.275 (2% reduction in wing area modifier) Fin AOA 33.25 --> 24.2 degrees FinsLatAcclel 40.19 --> 42.26 deg/s (+2 deg/s to the speed the fins can move) Booster Thrust 21.8kN --> 22.3kN Sustainer Thrust 13.2kN --> 13.485kN Max Loft Angle 7.5 --> 20 degrees In practice, what this means is that Aim-120 doesn't pull as hard off the rail as it did before due to fin angle, but still ends up hitting ~30-33G after 2-3 seconds of flight, while maintaining (Or even extending) its range. In every shot you would have taken that isn't at super close range and high-off-boresight, the missile will still hit. It is NOT "Just like a Sparrow" like I've seen some say, and using it for just a bit makes that very apparent. The missile accelerates to peak agility much quicker. The missile itself is much more responsive (Aim-120 takes 1.14 seconds to fully reverse its fins while Aim-7F/M takes 1.86 seconds). The missile actually has a high enough G-Limit to take full advantage of its fin angle at higher speeds (Sparrow pulls tighter initially even if it's less responsive, but will grow wider at high speeds as the missile quickly hits its G-Limit against hard targets. This does NOT mean Aim-7 isn't agile. But it's less capable overall).
@@codygaming181fr, amraam still goated, not an Uber monster at close range anymore but still for tt is one of the best missles still. Russia is lacking hard rn tho
we literally couldnt bvr for months because your 27er is so outrageously over powered. you guys SUCK bro we finally get one good missile and yall cry to gaijin till they ruin it
AMRAAM got buffed this was not a nerf. It now have more effective range and more energy to kill targets, no matter what kind of maneuver you do instead of nocthing, hovering or hide on terrain, the missile will kill you.
@@kingtigertheheavy2708 i literally have an F-15... ive used the AMRAAM???? the AMRAAM cant pull the way it pulls irl at close range, the missile is still good lmao
My style of play is highflying. I don’t come below 20,000ft or 6000 meters unless I’m forced to. I play the game like it DCS. They 100% nerfed its range. I was shooting 30 mile shots before the nerf, now it’s gotta be within 24.
Dont see a problem there the J35XS is mich worse off rn it is a worse dogfighter than the F-5. Having 3 times the missiles wont give u anything when theyre rear aspect and u cant shoot them amyways
@@BinHandler12 joking bc even a 2v2 on afghanistan in sim rn is too many people on one map slinging fox-3s. Warthunder atm is too congested for even better fox 3s

still the best missile
On an f-15 going mach 1.2 at 9km altitude the NEZ is around 35km, even after a nerf it's absolutely cracked
I don't think that NEZ is accurate
@@BlackjackTheLad could be but who flies consistently at 9km
Yay, about time.
US mains will screech no matter how deserved or minor a nerf is, nothing new
Y’all are still crying about the tiny mig-29 fm change that just made it more accurate
I read the changes, looked more like a buff to me lmao.
Also they changed all fox 3’s, this games playerbase is just stupid

@@devin1862it’s still good? And if anything the “nerf” is really a buff.
Gaijin add the AIM-174B
And the r37(I think that's what it is)
gaijin:ok

its turns 30% worse now its basically like a sparrow now
@@ichosolemanuel6048 Tell me you don't know how agility works without telling me you don't know how agility works...
its hard to get content in those type of games man, most watched are gtarp and shooter games but whatever makes you happy
It is kinda big. It pulls like a sparrow now
No it’s better
@@christopherchartier3017 Pulls like a sparrow. Better everywhere else
@@The-ThunderTiger the pull is a bit better than a sparrow
ofcourse america got nerfed
it was overperforming way too hard at short range lol, it does get a long range buff though
@@Sundownnnnas someone who hasn't made it to top tier, skill issue just use american planes 😎
@@kingtigertheheavy2708😅What? 💀
Oh no the most op air nation got nerfed
@@kingtigertheheavy2708 i literally have an F-15... ive used the AMRAAM???? the AMRAAM cant pull the way it pulls irl at close range, the missile is still good lmao
i subed to help u
Maybe play DCS 😂
If you want a game with accuracy and not economy
Nah

The range got increased but the instant aoa got decreased so it should perform better at longer ranges
LMAO THE F5E AT 11.0.......... FUCKING PATHETIC.
Dont see a problem there the J35XS is mich worse off rn it is a worse dogfighter than the F-5.

How come you got 74km range on your TWS, but i only get 37
just increase the range from the multi-function menu if you don't have the radar key binded
why do you ask when you don't even have the plane
@@yuanfurbax I have the f15c
bg3 class and sub class?
Ive been enjoying sorcerer alot but ive still got a few more to try.
Its fine just add the AIM-120C-7
Yeah cause meteors, pl 17's, and r77-1 will be fun...
@@BinHandler12 joking bc even a 2v2 on afghanistan in sim rn is too many people on one map slinging fox-3s. Warthunder atm is too congested for even better fox 3s
Having the British phantom at 12.0 feels bad man.
Also I'm confused why the British gripen c is a full BR higher than the swedish gripen c
Both Cs are the same BR. The Sweedish A variant without fox 3s is at a lower BR.
It’s meh
It is still pretty good.
