AIM-54C is underperforming

Looks like we have some changes for the AIM-54 Phoenix coming for the next update:

Not exactly sure if this is a nerf or buff.

I honestly don’t know. All I can see is that they now have the lowest value of all ARH missiles. Interestingly, in the files, the Aim-120C-5 and the MICA have 7 and 7.5 respectively, and those are the most advanced missiles we have in the files.

Where did you get this from?

Update: found where you got it from.
Apparently, it’s a buff. It’s making the Seeker FOV smaller so it doesn’t see chaff as easily. W.

We’re getting SOMEWHERE, I guess.

@MythicPi I remember you did the rough calculations for how rockets having increased thrust at high alt would affect the AIM-54. Would this be a nerf to lower alt launches or a buff?

If it affected low alt launches at all, probs a nerf, tho I dont think itd have any real effect on low alt launches since the rocket motors thrust used by gaijin in-game is likely stated for sea level.
