Could we see the AIM-7P soon?

The AIM-7R would be honestly ridiculous since an IR seeker on top of SARH would be annoying to fight. The AIM-7P is fine.

I guess F/A-18C Hornet and F-14D Tomcat from US Navy get AIM-7P in the future

12

No, Aim7P not for F16. Only for FA18 & F14

13

Shouldnt this be posted in suggestions instead of in machinery of war?

14

let’s vote to see if they put it until this year, and send to the developers

There is no direct source that indicates MH includes lofting, and it doesn’t include lofting. AIM-7M should already be capable of lofting.

The MH simply adds more memory so it has more to go off of when fired in ECM environments.

Thanks for the info

Perfect for F-15A 👍

F-15A can’t use AIM-7P.

The block 2 is the one that matters anyway, with datalink.
This will only come to F/A-18 and F-14D.

If we’re going to be that picky with ordnance, we’re going to have a chat about the mere existance of the Yak-141 in game, which had no radar nor verified ordnance during its test flights, but hey, Gaijin had no problems on giving the plane some theoretical assets.

AIM-7F and M can be shot in loft, but they don’t have any different guidance behavior. It’s no different from just pitching up ingame. AIM-7MH has specific loft guidance so it will maintain the loft after launch.

22

AIM-7MH has no specific loft guidance that is unique to it. Only additional memory for improved ECCM.

23

It does, but I can’t find the original provenance of the source(I suspect it is out of one of the restricted weapons manuals).

24

Sources we cannot use on the forum dictate otherwise. Gaijin is aware of them as well.
There simply is no other upgrade besides expanded memory for the AIM-7MH. If trajectory shaping can be done on AIM-7MH the AIM-7M has the hardware to do it also.

AIM-7P and AIM-7P block 2 incorporate larger hardware changes that allow for improved lofting, the datalink especially negates the issue wherein it has to maintain seeker track angles.

25

The su27 (at least not early ones) cant use r27e models yet they are in game.

26

You’re welcome to provide a source that the weapon designed and intended for use with the Su-27 was in fact not used on it.

27

I said early variants just as early f15a could in fact not carry the aim120

28

The F-15A could certainly carry it. Could fire it as well!

29

i meant early models before software updates
