There wouldn’t because those stations are clearly wired for Sparrow and Phoenix
Both the F-14A and F-14B were declassified if I recall, I’m not someone who bothers to look at manuals so if you can be asked go look into it a bit. Just funny how both Iran and the US were never pictured with such configuration, best to look at officials things to get the right picture.
Does anyone have any information on the Yasser rocket and if it ever had proximity? Seems kind of random to force players to use proximity on a propelled bomb making it somewhat useless.
The promixity fuze was removed, it works fine now.
@sudo_su1 Fakour and Sedjil turn radius significantly improved, overload increased to 20G
Pleasure working with ya there
Wait, so the Fakour-90 are basically just straight up better than the AIM-54 now lol? Did they increase the G overload of it or was it only the Sedjil and Fakour-90?
Hmm, might have to listen to the complainers now.
Oh wait no I don’t because they still can’t track if you literally just turn around and chaff, I could understand 12.7 as a side grade to the B maybe
me when ~2000 missile is better than 1974 missile
is it already live or what
Apparently the AIM-54 should be capable of turning like 25Gs so that’s why I’m asking, did they only update the Sedjil and Fakour-90 or all three of them?
only with BTT
Which it really should have in game
Same with any modern missile tbh but I dont think 50g AIM-120, 60G AAM-3 or 75G R-77 would be balanced or fun in any form
You didn’t say anything about a 50G magic 2 with 0.42 gatewidth and the same IRCCM as the AIM-9M ( I forgot what it’s called lmao) so we can definitely have that right?
I didnt because even rn 50G is almost achievable with fin acceleration it has and also because Magic 2 doesnt have BTT irl
Most missiles you listed use that in conjunction with secondary planes, the magic 2 does what the AIM-54 does and is constantly spinning along its axis to be able to pull max G in any direction rather than specific directions like the BTT on other missiles.
Not quite right. Magic 2 doesnt spin itself, its just the rear fins being free to move at any time of the flight so aerodynamically they always stay in X position instead +. AIM-54 BTT is quite literally bank to turn - same as AIM-120 for example.
Ohhh I might have misunderstood what I read about it, or the translator was wrong because it was a French document.
That’s how regular BTT works right?
(Excuse the quality here) this is how I had it in my head the Magic 2 worked.
I thought the whole thing was in constant rotation to pull the optimal fin AOA when necessary. Thanks for correcting me!
BTT is turning the missile to “X” configuration instead of “+” so you could achieve the highest Gs possible due to dual plane controls. Magic 2 uses a much simplier system for that and doesnt require any inputs from the flight computer.
It doesn’t use BTT, that implies only one axis for pitch. It can pitch and roll at the same time and pitch in either + or x configuration as needed.
If required, it can orient x configuration towards target vector for higher AoA and G loading to ensure intercept.
Also no, the Magic 2 rotates itself in flight to keep x orientation towards target vector. The tail being free to spin prevents oscillations and discrepancies with guidance at high G loading.
It is free to rotate and fly in “+” configuration as well.
