Those who choose gatewidth,tell me how much 6000tan0.75° is？39m!Which can contain 6 f15 in it.You think it’s good for a long-range missile?

The reality is pretty simple they choose that irccm because thats what the Russians use and they like to match Equipment between the two nations, same reason aam3 got tracking suspension irccm.
Currently in the game, the fov of the gatewidth missile will return to its original FoV after the seeker shutdown, which happen on TY-90. Does it also work like this in real life?
Honestly, it’s supposed to have a TY-90-style dual-mode seeker. Forcing us to pick between ‘Gatewidth’ or ‘Shutoff’ just sucks

In fact, I think that an IRCCM type similar to the 9M would be a better choice for the PL-8B.

Gatewidth irccm is basically useless when target range is over 2km given the 0.75fov in game, random cm will easily fool the seeker during long-range shots.

Then implement both for the pl-8b, irl it has the ty-90 seeker head.

as long as you know someone is shooting you a AIM-9M countermeasure+change your moving line will always counter the missile
In reality, countermeasures against interference are not achieved through mechanics like ‘Gatewidth’ or Seeker Shutoff.’ The true IRCCM methods are highly classified. This anti-jamming mechanic is merely a gameplay feature created by Gaijin because they cannot authentically replicate real-world IRCCM in the game. It has no connection to reality.

gatewidth suits magic2 and pl5e2 only. R73 and pl8b need shutoff instead.
I kinda prefer the gatewidth IRCCM since the python 3 like kinematics work somewhat for dogfighting.
But it should have what most aligns with what it has IRL since almost if not all of the IRCCM missiles are misrepresented. I have no clue what it should be for the PL-8B though.
make pl8b like the strela-10 missiles

Thanks a ton to everyone who voted! 感谢也提出意见的中国朋友！
@Smin1080p_WT AFAIK this is one of the largest player organized polls on the forums. I trust the devs have taken this feedback into account, could we get any statement from them?

Although I am thankful for our CM’s response he seems to have missed the fact that it had neither in real life, and both are equally ahistorical

PL-8B can remember enemies’ IR signature and identify it while aircraft and flares diverse. It’s closer to Seeker Shutoff rather than Gatewidth, but its FOV is still very little.

This is what I have been trying to say, but they do not believe it should be seeker shutoff for some reason

But it’s just signature processing, not picture identifying. That’s on PL-10.
I use PL-8 as R27ET. So it just needs to against a few flares.
Magic II shares seeker technology with the Mistral 1 and 2, they also have shutoff IRCCM to go with the 0.43° post-lock seeker FOV (smaller than the current in-game value).
