Umm from what I see on the internet it’s saying they’re the same length
the MIM-23 hawk is 3 feet longer
mim 23 is longer FAKOUR 90 IRL is a AIM 54A with a different seeker and engine
SO THERES ZERO REASON FOR IT TO PULL 20G
well IRL f14 had best Radar in the world for quite a while till like 90s it had best radar
just the AWG-9

R-33,s are not better than aim54s
Does it even pull 17g in-game?
Man I wish we had any mim-23, Sam, along with s75

aim-54c is definitely better than r-33. But you have to compare aim-54c to r-37, which is much superior missile to aim-54c.
But aim-54a? Debatable between r-33 and aim-54a.
Aim-54a is active sure, but much worse seekerhead and worse time to target, though I think(?) it has more range. R-33 has better time to target and much better seekerhead when paired with zaslon radar, as it’s not limited to hprf
I was talking about the aim54 and f-90 length not the mm-23
R37 was not finished being developed when the aim54eccm/sealed was in service, like maybe kinematically it could’ve competed but this was Soviet Russia on what ended up being shelved. 0 chance the missile was as good as a late aim54c
it was already test launched/trialed in the 80s, just that soviet union didn’t have the money to field it in service until it got further developed into 37m
Yes, trialed, early aim54a had tons of issues, we’re talking late 80s Early 90s ussr here, pretty much at the height of the computing gap. There is pretty much no chance they could’ve produce a missile with comparable perfomance to the aim54eccm.
why? Amraam, 54c+, r-77 and k-27A were all developed and test fired in the 80s
(though, k-27a seekerhead was abysmal, and its replacement seekerhead was made, but never was actually put on a missile as r-27ea was cancelled)
I think in this case the weaknesses of the aim54s don’t play much, the one thing the is dangerous for the f14 is the zaslon. But yeah I don’t think hprf is a big issue when the enemy has to look in your general direction to guide their missiles, if the initial aim54s fail though yeah it becomes very risky as the range closes in the r-33 + zaslon combo becomes very dangerous.
That second brochure is only possible because there wasn’t a suitable replacement to the S-3 Viking
which had good kinematic but subpar everything else, r-77 doesnt even loft.
wrong
Detection range is great it’s closer range acquisition
And lock ranges.
Well, any missile would loft in this case

no you can see the missile level out before it hits the target
if it wouldnt have loft it would have flown like this:
