Well as you said, it’s a SARH with less maneuverability, range, and speed compared to the Phoenix. The radar might’ve been superior, but for interception and for what matters, they’re the same.
If we’re simulating a fight between the 2, the MiG-31’s speed is an advantage, but the Phoenix was specifically made to counter this scenario. And with the high closure rate, the AWG-9 will have no problem aquiring a lock alongside the Zaslon. The MiG-31 only option is to run away, since it’s missiles cannot be offensive while it’s defensive. (That seemed like the trend in real life too)
I would assume figures for f-14 tracking range from the outsiders view is for bombers, but at least here for Mig-31 against 19m2 tu 16 bomber it has 160km range look up 140ish km look down for target track (not detection). So they’re pretty similar
The 0.5 pd for the N007 is like 190 km for a 19m² target for all whay I’ve been able to gather. The mean of the locking ranges there correspond (typically have always been at 0.9pd and this is always around 70% max detection range on all soviet stuff I’ve gone through) to the 70% of the max detection range, thus of locking I’d expect. Put the mean at 132 75 km for track at 15km for the StD.
For the F14 the 90N.M quote is for fighter’s, quotes at 5m² nominal which I assume is 0.5pd too. The pilot interview said around 100N.M but fighters are around 2-12m² frontal.
Below is the detection commulative pdf chart for a 19m² target for both N007(blue) and the awg9(red). Put the mean detection at 190km for the N007 with the same tracking StD(15km) for both mig31’s and f14s
's radars
50% commulative pd corresponds to the distance where 50% of targets have been detected, not the longest tatget detection. On the image you put on the left you have where target got detected, that one would corresponds to 1/10 pd, assuming gaussian its too like 10% as you can see. But on that chart, measuring things would be too long and it would give me something around 190km. So I just gave 190km as mean for my curve
yeah i literally said gaijin has it modeled wrong its AIM54A so why should it pull more than 17g
which is why im saying its absurd it pulls 20G as the missile that they think it is way to big to fit there its AIM54A with a HAWK motor but gaijin thinks its a HAWK missile with AIM54 fins
