All missiles have same air drag that is 0.018 except RUSSIAN IR missiles like R-73, R-60(no surprise it’s russian and 0.015), I know it is not about weight but they don’t say its size, but I’m sure 350 kg missiles way too much chunkier than 84 kg missile. Clearly, Russian missiles don’t look like more aerodynamic either. How could Gaijin, who examines and nerfs NATO equipment down to its atomic level, have overlooked this? Maybe because it benefits only Russian missiles, hmmm.
One simple answer: “Selective Realism”

AIM-9 series has more drag compared to R-73 because AIM-9 series uses rollerons which is an older and inferior method
Have you considered the AIM-9 is just bad while the R-27ER isn’t and your preconceived notion of US superiority is wrong
Lets be honest is this surprising anymore? Realism only comes into effect on Western equipment meanwhile Russian stuff is just decided on how management are feeling.
Valid argument for the aim 9 series (except for the X) not really when it comes to the other missiles
