AAM-3 or AIM-9M?

Hi ! I ve unlocked the AAM-3 missiles on the F15-J. However I don’t know which one is the best between the AAM-3 and the AIM-9M. I see the AAM-3 has a better handling with 40G contrary to the AIM-9M. But which one has the best IRCCM ? I have no clue about it and I know the IRCCM works in different ways depending on the missile. Could you help me to choose ? Thank you :)

Hey there!
Just letting you know that the AAM-3 and AIM-9M have very similar IRCCMs, both utilize seeker shutoff as their method! AAM-3 is just a better AIM-9M in game!

As stated above, the AAM-3 is essentially a better AIM-9M. You can find more information here:

They are almost the same
Aam3 pulls slightly more but its not rly 40gs dont be fooled by that

Aam-3 is strictly better but not by enough for it to make any meaningful difference.

AAM-3 is flat out better

It uses the same seeker head as the 9M (at least in game) so its IRCCM is identical

But its got noticably more pull, at the expense of slightly worse range.

Highly recommend it over the 9M.
