Pretty sure the only difference is that the MH can loft.

only difference is that the 7MH lofts like @iboopy said

and you can loft the Aim-7 already by yourself

well yea but The primary difference is that the AIM-7MH is an improved version of the AIM-7M, featuring enhanced guidance, better resistance to electronic countermeasures (ECM), and a significant capability for lofting to increase its range. The AIM-7M itself was a significant upgrade from previous versions, featuring a monopulse seeker for improved accuracy and ECM resistance, but the MH version built upon this by adding the lofting trajectory and further refinement to its guidance and ECM handling.

Key Differences

  • Lofting Capability:

The AIM-7MH can perform a “lofting” maneuver, allowing it to be launched at high speeds and altitudes to achieve greater range, a capability not present in the AIM-7M.

  • Guidance and ECM Resistance:

Both missiles feature a monopulse seeker, but the MH incorporates further improvements to guidance logic and reliability, especially in environments with active electronic countermeasures (ECM).

  • Reliability:

The AIM-7MH is noted for improved reliability, particularly when encountering ECM and at higher altitudes.

  • Countermeasures Resistance:

While the AIM-7M had better countermeasure resistance than earlier versions, the MH further refined this ability.

The AIM-7MH also adds Home-On-Jam capability, allowing it to guide to the source of jamming during the terminal phase of flight.

In Summary

Think of the AIM-7M as the enhanced version that improved the basic Sparrow’s capabilities, and the AIM-7MH as a further development that added strategic range extension through lofting and refined its ability to operate effectively in contested electronic warfare environments.

and none of that is part of the game besides the lofting

that is why the 7F and 7M are exactly the same in game even tho they had different seekers IRL

ontop of that, Wikipedia or AI isnt a proper source
