AAM-4 missile nerf

That doesn’t compensate for a sustainer.

And they’d be wrong yet again, so we’re back to the topic of the AAM-4 implementation being entirely fictional.

Well, depends on how they will make sustainer for aam4

Cause conjecture is not evidence.

There’s a interesting bug report for the aam-4 in Chinese, which has paper sources besides the Wikipedia and web source at the bottom, that gave some details on the warhead I didn’t know Community Bug Reporting System

There’s also the currently acknowledged report for the aam-4 booster Community Bug Reporting System

It’s good to have these reports saved or posted somewhere because the search engine will not give you the bug report

32g isn’t even bad dawg

The AAM-4 is overperfoming in turning performance, funnily enough. Going by the patent on it’s guidance logic, it only maxes out at roughly 25Gs, not even 32, let alone the 40 a lot of people think.

Also, to clarify, contrary to previously believed, we do not have evidence the missile supports roll control. The directional fragmentation of the AAM-4 works by using a multi-detonator system, to direct the blast in the quadrant detected by the proximity fuse. It does not rotate to point the warhead at the target.
