There is talks that there will be folding fin version of Astra being made for AMCA and hence it will probably be able to fit 5-6 A2A missiles in it."AMCA can be good in BVR & WVR with LOAL mode CCMs, but in gun-fight w/o TVC it'll loose mostly against a TVC jet."
NOPE ! compared to su57 quite disappointed by iwb sure 4 aams is not good (bvr class that too ) number decreases to 2 if ccms included
sure diff roles but ig we must have changed it to fit 6 aams and 2ccms with the current config it faces the same issue of f35 increment of frontal rcs
due to pylon based solution which will be likely incorporated for amca
but yea AMCA design is more western VLO influence than Russian way
even f35 will get 6 aams soon ( ik " a "variant)
the only fix i can think of cca or tailor made weapons
or iwb change very unlikely
speaking of f35 and amca dogfight f35 will see first kill first AIM9x Block 2 with DAS and amca dosent have DAS in mk1 variant btw ( mind you f35 has highest nose authority iirc )
the only formidable plane against VLO is SU57 thats a fact
