hello, whats the difference beetwen aim 9H and aim 7F which are better?
Aim-9H (All AIM-9 series) is an IR guided missle, especializated on close range usage, I recomend launch them around 1.5km to 2km-. The Aim7F is radar guided for long-medium range usage.
They both are good missles, for the 9H you need more practice and knowledge to use it correctly.

AIM-9C is Pulse guided.
AIM-9H is an upgraded AIM-9G, it’s effective range is between 1.0 and 2.5 km rear aspect. AIM-7F is a Continuous Wave radar guided missile, has an effective range between 3.5 and 15 km front aspect, 1.5 - 3.5 km rear aspect and around 3.5 - 8 km side aspect (don’t use with PDV radar). AIM-9H has 18 g overload which means if the aircraft it’s chasing pulls hard enough it will be able to dodge it, albeit difficultly. It has a top speed of Mach 2.5 as opposed to the 7Fs 4.0? Not too sure on the 7F. Rule of thumb: Use 7F against people who know you’re there and 9H against people who don’t though realistically they have different uses.

Didn’t know that.
Yeah it’s a very niche feature with it being on only one vehicle in the game. It was developed side by side with the AIM-9D and has the same performance except with pulse seeker
