I seen more kill count per plane with the fakour. 1-3 kills.
Aim 120 like 1-2
at 12.7 the iranian f14 with the fakour 90 absolutely destroys down tiers
Skill issues or not. There is never a shortage of people dying to Fakour-90. So it gets my vote. Great for grinding air events when you can’t be bothered dogfighting or anything else.

Fakour 90 hands down.
They are still, at the very moment, the fastest travelling ARH and best air-to-air BVR missiles in the entire game.
It just goes so fast in the air that the same Pulse Doppler Head On and minimum 16km ‘pitbull’ mode from features of the original AIM-54 Phoenix seekerhead doesn’t really affect it that much, which also makes them super dangerous at the beginning of the game to unsuspecting and unaware players not paying attention to their RWR.
God help us all in air battles, if they were ever installed on a later F-14B Tomcat variant or even an F-15 Eagle platform.
Best on paper?
Probably AMRAAM or SD-10
But due to their lower BR and large warhead combo probably F90/Aim54 as you get a load of base bombing noobs
13.0*

They’re not asking what missile is the best because you think it’s the best. They’re asking what’s the objective best missile. That obviously doesn’t go anywhere close to the Fakour or Aim-54. Instead that would go to the SD-10 to being a prenerf Aim-120, which was the objective best missile in the game.

No I was just saying that 12.7 is the most common to get uptiered to 13 and 13.3
new premium su-30 mk2 (Venezuela) should be coming with R77’s (RVV-AE export designation). my rating of the ones you list is prolly
RB99 (aim-120 AMRAAM)
SD10
Fakour 90 (not too familiar with)
R77
Derby
AIM 54a
Absolutely gets* deestroyed
R77’s sucks big time , so no issue in there.
Fakour 100% best ARH on event/ premium .
SD10, would be a lot better if JF17 would not be so , well I’m JEFF memes work on it. ( could be dropped on 13.0)
Aim 120’s are solid
Derby . got no idea but having smacked by em from air.
Explain how
On paper best and real world best aren’t necessarily the same thing.
On paper, the missile is one of the easier ARH missiles to defeat either kinematically or via notch and chaff and the others would be higher.
In practice however. the 13.0s probably get dragged down fairly often and you’ll see a lot of base bombing noobs that dont know how to turn. So a volley of F-90s which are fast and have a decently sized warhead (So quite readily get kills even if they are defeated by MP) , fired from the half decent climber which is the F-14… Can quite often get kills. They are also a pain in the butt to deal with at short range due to their speed. (Also on a personal note, there might be a slight issue with RWRs always detecting them, i’ve had the odd time where i’ve been hit with no warning in aircraft that have decent RWRs)
So they might not be the technically best ARH, in fact they would easily be near the bottom of the rankings. But circumstance gives them an edge over AMRAAM fired from the Viggen DI for example

Speed and warhead.
It is faster compared to 120 , and sice having air spawn and using 16mins fuel that f14 climbs easily , biggest downsize is that f14 radar.
Most 13.0/13.3 event/premium/squadron ARH users are quite medicore on climbing compared to IRIAF , what gives it enormous advantage, launching em on 6km+ alt and 50-60Km range gives it quite good hit % especially if targets are also on hi altitude.
Not to mention, if they fly low and rely on multipathing , that explosive mass gives a best splash damage compared to other ARH’s also crediting kills.
in terms of event vehicle weaponry the answer is Fakour. But I have had a lot of fun grinding the stars this month with Kfir C10, climbing up to 10-14km with minimal fuel + tank and targeting pod, then firing all 4 Derby missiles at people 30-50km away. The C10s radar is fantastic
Let’s also add the RVV AE to this comparison as the su 30 just dropped and the rvv ae qualifies, is it good? never played with any similar russian arh guidance missile
I’ve noticed that they give RWR pings much much later than other ARH missiles, and combined with their speed you only get about 10 seconds MAX to react, turn, and hope you can notch it. In a recent match I only got an RWR ping when one was 12km away from me, and I was dead 10 seconds later. I’ve also seen a couple vids of them only giving warning sub 10km.
My rating for the best missiles would be Fakours, SD-10s, and then the RB99.
Yeah, had a match today didnt get F-90 warning till about 5km out
