I have already done a lot of research on the P.1154 and his brother the HS.1154
I’ll link the suggestions soon

After the AIM-7E-2/3 the UK used Skyflash rather than later Sparrow versions. The use of pulse doppler illumination was considered for Skyflash, but they concluded that CW illumination was the better option to meet the UK’s requirements.

Is this during the 70s? I ask cause it reminds me of Active Skyflash
What does PD/CW illumination have to do with Active Skyflash which uses no illumination from the launching aircrafts radar.
Sorry, I don’t know much on radars and how radar technology works besides the most basic stuff and how it reacts with higjly sloped surfaces used on things like the Nighthawk

No but also has no datalink of any kind. It only has pre-launch target data, after it’s launched its completely on its own.

I see so it would really have to be launched bit bull basically. As if the target moves to far from the original heading the missiles radar wont be able to see it right?
It would be a similar case with AMRAAM on the AV 8B+. You can’t guide the missile midflight so the missile’s range is artificially shorted because you can’t guarantee that the target won’t move a radical amount of distance away from its original flight path
The AV-8B+ can guide 1 missile it just can not guide multiple at once like Blue Vixen.
I mean when you already have another missile out

You would be able to launch it only like the standard Skyflash, the only difference would be the fact that after you fire you can do whatever. So it would be 20km launches, as that is seeker range for ARH in game.

How much would Gaijin increase the BR of the Tornado F.3 if it got ASF?
Most likely 13.0, maybe 12.7. its simply not worth it.

I’m no Gaijin, but most likely 13.0-12.7
I was expecting more like 12.3 maybe 12.7 but not quite 13.0
Nope, it is still ARH. Unlike everyone else you can fire it and do anything else you want, fire at a different target, notch, fly away.
It’s still a regular Skyflash in everything else though, yes once you launched it’s fire and forget but in a joust with AIM 7F/Ms or R27ERs you’re just going to be launched on before you can launch and start notching
