No Fox 3 missile in the game has datalink reconnect. Not even AIM-120.
Only R-27 has datalink reconnect.
And it shouldn’t

It’s a semi active so if you lock the target again and its in seeker range it should still track
Could you please make a comparison with the R27ER as well? Also is this missile you’re using in the actual files?
I’m seeing a distinct lack of r73’s
I don’t see the missile or loadouts in the latest datamine from Gszabi and there is no newer version of the dev server. Where did the information come from?
I was sure they were going to make the fakour-90 somehow better than the aim-54, I just didn’t expect it would be by that much. So if you want to fly the best Tomcat, you have to get the Iranian one. Classic.
Fully expecting the R-73 to be added too.
I’ll wait until they share where the information came from. I don’t see the Fakour in the latest datamine.
From Johnwick’s sheet, Gszabi’s datamine is now going by dev instead of dev-stable as Gszabi has said today.

I mean, were you expecting an 80’s F-14 to compete with a 2020’s F-14?

Despite having lower max overload, will the fakour be able to actually pull more G’s due to its increased speed and thrust?
More than likely it will overall be more agile, yes.
Phoenix can occasionally pull 17G when at high speeds, but that takes quite some time due to the terrible acceleration.
Fakour 90 will be pulling 15G at ~3km from launch and retaining that pretty much up until impact.
That is gonna be fun to use TBH, I much prefer the climb to alt and launch on targets while cranking and notching, than the old furball knife fight fox 2 battles at 0 meters.
I’m cautiously excited, the TF30 is a horrible engine that I hated when the old F-14A released. Dunno if the fakour 90 will make up for that. Maybe it will.
One question I have is, if the Fakour-90 is close in size to the AIM54, how did they manage to fit the M112 in one piece? The M112 seems to be a lot bigger than the MK47?
At longer ranges, it should be able to pull the same or more due to having increased speed and better energy retention allowing for the missile to utilize the full 15G while Phoenix might drop down to 10G or below. Long story short, Fakour should very much be equal or better in every scenario. Long range, time to target, available overload at the tail-end ranges.
I wouldn’t say that is totally the case. The Fakour is 10mm thinner and the guidance / seeker is much reduced in size.
I would like to see BuNo.160378 camouflage in the game as GE skin, which was built for Iran but didn’t deliver due to the Islamic Revolution.

That’s not datalink reconnection though
do you have any paper proof that they don’t?
