would mean an increase in br and i dont think i want to play flareless planes at any higher than 9.3
Iirc it has a slightly larger FOV and worse track rate, but it would be a good addition.
I would be more interested to see PL-3 arrive on J-7, although as far as i know there is no reference as to what variant it was tested from

Based on what Maple said I don’t think the missile is enough to warrant an increase in BR, the F-100 is the same br with 4 × AIM-9E missiles being thrown at flareless aircraft but don’t forget that 10G missiles are easy to dodge if you have the energy to do it so

pl-15 got modeled further on the dev server and looks closer to being finished now
pull
20km rear aspect shot, 1000m mach 1.0
100km headon shot, 10km alt mach 1.3

nice i cant tell tho if that seeker means better or worse; could you also attach what changed FM wise?
oh wow the half angle sensitivity is really small
a fuck ton more countermeasures may be needed to notch a pl-15 even when compared to mica
might be a relock demon

the seeker should feel similar to a mica’s seeker but a bit better
the old pl-15 wasn’t changed together with the fox 3s rework, so the fm is very shitty compared to the newer versions of the pl-12 and pl-12a, so i think the better comparation here would be pl-12a with the new pl-15

Damn, interesting.
he’s theorically turning less than pl-12a ? (the distFromCmToStab is lower)
yes, despite being slightly lighter and having slightly higher finlataccel, all the other stats that are important for pull are worse compared to the pl-12a, so it ends up being slightly worse

Do you know if engine re-fired 18 km from the Rafale or after it set of the RWR?
to relight the engine, the missile has to be at least 6 seconds into flight (full duration of the first pulse) and any of these things also has to happen:
-
the missile has to be 10 seconds away from the target
-
the missile has to drop under 1026km/h
-
the missile must have an approach speed of at least 720km/h to the target
there is nothing that activates the second pulse at the time of lock, in high altitudes scenarios the time to hit of 10s will be the most common trigger for the second pulse

Maybe trash fm to compensate for evil seeker, I won’t mind if its fm gets reworked tho
i was talking about the old fm, the current fm is pretty much the absolute best in the game for range and good enough for pull imo
even compare to AIM-54 and Fakour?
Honestly, I think this is too late, I wonder how much better the missile would be if this was something around 15-20 seconds.

wow this is nuts so the pl15 travel 80km and still at Mach 3.34 while pl12a is maach 1.9 thats huge difference wow its going to be insanely good in bvr long shot or rear shot scenarios
