Was thinking that myself. should be equal to Aim-7F/M at least. (though I think the IRL number is like 60+ seconds)

That is the time it can guide, not it can relock
Yeah I mean I’d assume so, Skyflash basic mind you is 2 years later than AIM-7F, compared to E2 it has “improved electronics” as well as the obvious inverse monopulse seeker, improved proximity fuze seems odd they gave 15s and only to Supertemp? Not the basic one?
Atm the only thing Skyflash does better than AIM-7F I think is track rate?
I dunno you can compare the AIM-7E2, F and Skyflash and Supertemp here at your own convinience

@Flame2512 would you be so kind to drop us some info about in what timeframe Skyflashes can relock?

It seems that about 7 seconds is the practical limit. That is for obtaining an initial lock though, rather than re-locking.

Thanks, thats interesting. So the seeker for some reason started losing “strength” after 7 seconds. I wonder what caused that. Probably some shortcomings due to inv monopulse being a new technology then and it needing time to be perfected.
I think it’s more a case that if you haven’t found the target after 7 seconds it’s probably moved / changed enough that you’re not going to find it. The section above the highlighted bit in the first image explains it.

It’s probably a balance change only, gaijin is for some reason affraid to add that to all missiles, even though it seems a lot of them only explode after running out battery time irl (if they miss the target). Even missiles like the AIM-9B and the first R530 were already bug reported in that matter and they didn’t get changed yet…
Do we have this kind of thing for Britain? If anyone is making something like this we can come together to get things working properly.

There’s this:
thats air only
I’m looking for a more general list including ground and naval vehicles and weapons (i.e brimstone). Also Beaufighter mk 21 should have more ordinance.
I dont think there is a full list like that
Well this thread we’re in now is an air thread
That’s why I’m asking if anyone is making one. If not I can cobble something together.
I have a naval one: Britain Naval Tree - What’s left to be added for all BRs
But we could always just fuse them all together.

I would be inclined to say that it is better to keep them separate. That way you can have more focused discussion and it is less work for a single person to maintain.

😅 i feel honoured
This is a really good collection of stuff. Every tree needs something like it. For now we need to create a bare bones version then expand it to be similar to yours.

We have 1 for air, 1 for naval and 1 for helis. You could start a dedicated thread for ground (I have a baby one going for SPAA)
