its probably orders of magnitude cheaper, its probably so expensive that even the US would have a kneejerk reaction.

“sure lets cram modern electronics an sensors in a 1970 airframe made a by a country we have no tecnological connection to”

It has a primary source on the hawk which is what the Sedjil is

have you guys been getting TKed an unusual amount of times in the F-14A Early?

yeah but the FAKOUR-90 is a AIM-54 not a HAWK all is a swapped motor

Here it is in case anyone wants to support it, it’s small issue but would be a very welcomed fix

I’d like to see the NK101 (2004) spec for VF-31 implemented, but I wonder if Felix’s rights or something like that might prevent it from happening?

God I hope we get vx-9

I want VX-4

hey mikey you got any documents that would be a primary source for AIM-54s size ?

Check the Aim-54 thread. I posted an entire marathon of Aim-54 Schematics there.

Including stuff like this:
164443_81596525_AIM-54A

im done with the bug report system you can see that its modeled wrong gaijins going off Wikipedia stats right now

@VF21_Freelancers take a look at this report how does the FAKOUR-90 get some how magically pull 20g even though the HAWK is 3 ft bigger than the AIM-54

" Although most sources reported that the Fakour-90 is a copy of the AIM-54, some analysts suggested that the Fakour-90 was actually an air-launched version of the MIM-23 Hawk missile with control surfaces from the AIM-54.[14] Analysis of the images identified the rocket motor being “M112” which is used on the Hawk as well as cable raceway similar to the Hawk"



YOU CAN SEE THE SIZE DIFFERENCE THEY ARE NOT THE SAME


at least use fakour 90 sources.
Here is export fakour, it removes the booster and keeps only the sustainer.

no word on maneuverability though other than min range and maneuvering delay

Just so it’s clear the normal Fakour-90 keeps the booster and only the AD-40A loses it, as we’ve seen from the test firing footage.

why ? the FAKOUR-90 is a AIM-54A with swapped motor the bodys identical other than the BULDGE they added on the side and theres no source i can find that supports the 20G maneuverability

its blatant non sense showing favoritism nothing in the bug report shows any data for the FAKOUR-90

all it shows is data on the HAWK WHICH USES DIFFERENT FINS AND A DIFFERENT BODY
