Hi everyone
Did Gaijin recently nerf the Fakour‑90 missiles in War Thunder? Previously, the stat card showed a maximum speed of around Mach 5.8–5.9, but now it lists Mach 4, the same as the AIM‑54. Is this change only in the stat card, or does the speed nerf also affect gameplay? And if it’s changed then when it changed ? I may be wrong though.

following the report
it’s not mach 5 too, because the MIM-23 from which the M112 rocket engine come from is a Mach 5 missile, with 590kg.
where the Fakour 90 weights 637kg impacting it’s acceleration.
and as the Fakour 90 is reportedly only able to fly up to 160km (unlike AIM-54 able to reach 190km), Gaijin fixed the value accordingly.
which explains why Fakour 90 is currently Mach 4 and not 5.8/5.9 like before (which certainly was wrong), and not even Mach 5 as announced in 2018 by iranian defence ministry.

About how recent was this change? Because looking at the datamine changelogs the machMax parameter seems to have always been Mach 4 since the Fakour’s introduction last year.

That’s just a statcard value, btw.
