Delta Dart's underwhelming missiles

Also you can see it is slowing as fast as soon as the rocket engine is done.

Yes that is how all missiles work

@Cpt_Bel_V

so it’s about 1.5 seconds, in a situation you’ll nearly never get in-game (apart using 9B on Mirage III’s or 5’s, maybe the J-35A too)

its more of a direct comparison of the two missiles and there are plenty of transonic planes with the 9B

@Cpt_Bel_V

show in-game one now (with replay functionnality we can have many informations) (can be done through custom battles)

that i wont do bc im not booting up war thunder

[Cpt_Bel_V]

welp, i tried,… and it’s even better than that - launch at IAS 1200km/h got a M2.26 on a slightly diving missile

seems like the AIM-9B need a bit of tweaking.

@Xeno_quaza

there’s a reason why aim-9s stuck around and not them

It was many factors, not just “poor performance”. They were superceded by AIM-26 wherever possible which performs fine even in-game.

Falcons themselves stuck around until the 80s.

could add aim26 or change it name to f106f and give it aim26 that would be better ?
