Its an AIM-9M with more pull and more range.
In honesty its a bit of a consolation for the F-2s lack of HMD, and lack of ARH missiles compared to contemporaries.
The main thing that it can do that the 9M cannot is that you need to watch for the 6km top down shots. If you are on the deck always watch out for an F-2 up in the sky because those AAM3s can absolutely reach you.
Ive gotten many kills on enemies who never expect an AAM3 from space.
Maybe AAM-3 pulling 10+ more Gs than AIM-9M while also having more range has some… impact on its performance worth noting?
A Fox-3 slinger gets blown up by an IR missile. How unexpected…
it definitely needs a nerf its unflarable
It has pretty much the same seeker stats as a 9M.
It’s very much flarable
Should I start collecting clips of me flaring IR missiles as well as notching now? @Beeschurger
with upcoming sales? defo, since we will have new wave of these posts again
