New bug report

AIM-54A should continue receiving datalink updates after going active:

Most likely applies to basically all ARH missiles … Same was reported for AAM-4 using a patent.

After quite a bit of digging, seems like that last picture might be for the Basic Hawk.

The I-Hawk also used a monopulse seeker with a planar array antenna and solid state electronics that looked not much different from the Iranian Hawk (Shalamcheh) seeker:

Also seems like it should have inertial guidance similar to R-24R:

"Mach 5.5 no problem as fakour90 answer"

“i hope the sedjeel get its IOG as with better f14 Rader you can use it and be more useful then r24r with mig23 Rader”

Worth adding that in the “Phoenix Missile Test Six on Six” video used by @Wagner_Leung in his AWG-9 bug report, the pilot also says “Fox 1” after firing the first Phoenix. (By which he basically means “The 1st Fox or missile”)

Oh well, in that case that’s obviously it. He’s saying the first missile, not “launching SARH missile”. Great work.

Last I check the seeker in the game was copied from AIM-54A

The motor is an I-Hawk motor that we have some data for
The guidance system is also assumed to be based on the I-Hawk

Moving forward, most missiles are gonna be based on guesswork anyways …
