hurry up join japan dont let me wait
100% +1, with more and more advanced missiles being added there’s no reason the AAM-3 shouldn’t be added ASAP.

I hope we get the AAM-3 next major along with F-15(D)J

It would certainly make the F15J more unique.
I would love to see the AAM-3, easily one of my favorite missiles, should already even be in game at this point. I just fear that Gaijin is going to give Japan the same treatment that they gave Israel with the Barak II and just slap on the AIM-9M even if they don’t use it all because they’re too lazy to model a missile.
I mean hell, we still don’t have a AAM-1 after all these years, even though it’s worse than the 9P, seeing a Japanese made missile that the F-1 operationally carried would still be nice.

AAM-1 is superior to the 9B at least, and could help make the F-86F-40 more unique
AAM-3 might be a slight issue tho, as it is somewhere petween AIM-9M and AIM-9X performance. While I’d love to finally see a japanese missile they can’t just skip, I feel like they won’t make the F-15J the best F-15 in the game. We could be lucky, but I won’t get my hopes up too much
So uhhh, AAM-3 is coming soontm :D

They’re already in the game on the Dev Server, F-15J can carry up to 4 of them.

Right, I meant more “soontm” for the live server, or when the update actually comes out

So far, the AAM-3 feels very good, its not perfect as its missing some gimbal and I’m not sure how realistic the IRCCM is, but my initial impression is that its just an overall better 9M.
Feels like it has better range, has better Gpull, better fin AoA, better track rate, better seeker rate, and less drag compared to the 9M.
I’ve pulled off some fairly impressive long range (7.3km) and very short range kills (0.6km) against maneuvering targets. I have high hopes for this missile!

Imagine if they implemented Bank-To-Turn steering for it… It could probably pull even harder if they implemented that.

yeah with bank to turn easily 45+ Gs

From what I’ve heard from some folks at least, the AAM-3 currently doesn’t actually really HAVE that extra G-pull just yet, and it’s IRCCM is the same as the 9M from the testing they’ve done on the dev server.
This is subject to change of course.

Correct, some youtubers did a side-by-side comparison with the AAM-3 and 9M and found the AAM-3 was only ever so slightly better despite having 40Gs in the files, hopefully this is changed before live.
As for IRCCM, its real dual seeker would be far too powerful in game so I doubt it will change much, however I hope they make it slightly superior to the 9M’s IRCCM if possible.
yeah noticed that too it doesn’t feel like 40Gs. tnh i don’t feel like we will see changes to it but i hope i’m wrong.
Bank-To-Turn steering has passed as a suggestion. We may yet see this technology in the game.

Not a bug, he says… Not a bug as he ignores the source that says it has a gimbal limit three times wider in reality than in game. Two primary source documents. Two secondary source documents. Ignored. I’d like to see their source of how they got a 60 degree gimbal limit and not the three times wider area.
EDIT: Nevermind, Not a bug can mean they already acknowledge it and are working on it. Okie dokie then.

EO UV and IR seeker of AAM-3 could kill the game, russians players would stop playing it and the game could bankrup
