Yes i know i’ve read the full document before. It still doesn’t change the point that it lists a separate autonomous guidance range increase in the charts aside from the stand-off distance, and that stand-off distance is, as used here, much closer to total range then to seeker detection distance, the weapon does have LOAL after all, an increase in seeker range alone would not help stand-off range by a significant portion.
While I do not have it at on me at the moment, and i will try to find it, i do have papers explaining the 4B has a different guidance logic which minimizes energy bleed against maneuvering targets, which should increase it’s effective range.
Edit: Also, in the full version of PDF_H-13, it does use “attack range” instead of “stand-off range” with standoff range being specifically for the chart comparison.
“したがって、２０１０年代において、航空優勢を獲得するためには、現有９９式空対空誘導弾に対して、攻撃範囲、母機残存性、耐妨害能力等が優れた９９式空対空誘導弾（改）が必要である。”
No. It clearly says on page 5 that stand-off range is the maximum range at which it can be fired while keeping the host aircraft safe, and that self guidance range is the range at which the missile’s seeker picks up targets.
As i have previously stated, stand-off range on LOAL weapons is not dependent on lock range, if they were to be the same value the their values on the chart should be the same, which they are not.
I’ve read somewhere that originally it was supposed to be the one that the premium has but they made a mistake and ended up on the tech tree version, whether is true or not it sucks not having other options
So I decided to test out the AAM-3 with values approximating BTT (adjusted the fin AoA and size multiplier using a bunch of math, slightly decreased the coefficient of lift, and gave a timeToGain profile to roughly match the missile turning to orientation after launch)
Note: This is with the same PID values for guidence as currently in game, with a corrected PID value for the new fin AoA it pulls even more then this by a slight but noticable bit.
With adjusted PID logic
At the end of 1944, work began on the A7M3. If I remember correctly, the design work was completed in May and the construction of the first A7M3 began. But I have only a small amount of sources about it (2 books, but not Japanese)
