AAM in WT/issues and fixes

I made this thread to discuss the bugs and inaccuracies we have on each AAM present in Warthunder, to make a list on them just as a reminder of what needs to be fixed or got fixed from now on.

Disclaimer:

Spoiler

I’ll only include the infos we have in the [Community Bug Reporting System] page and eventual internal report. I won’t include any infos that hadn’t got reported or went reported without being anknoledged by the dev team and staff cause the Topic isn’t on the missiles themselves but on their performance in WT.

I’ll start off with some old IR guided missiles and i’ll continue untill i reach the more modern ones in the future and eventually i’ll add SARH|ARH|IIR|PRH to the thread.

The extra 1g on the 9E isn’t really necessary but it’s something I would be supportive of.

Speaking of sidewinders I heard a rumour that the AIM-9H should have a 22/23g overload.

I Will add more missiles in the future, as of RN i’m being hospitalized so that’s why i’m not making big progress in my work, but i will assurde you that all the AAM Will be added into the list as soon i get home.
The reason i’m including even small changes Is that this thread has the purpose to list all the issues that didn’t get their fixes.

Ah. I hope you get better soon. Godspeed and good luck.
