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).
Forcing us to pick between ‘Gatewidth’ or ‘Shutoff’ just sucks

pl-8b seems like it is not going to get it’s new motor. I like gatewidth irccm more, more consistent IMO
Yeah, I don’t even play it, but I agree it needs to stay at least remotely historical to its real life counterpart.
Based upon responses in this thread and others. I can see OPs argument for why it could be both, though it wasnt explained well (or really at all) in the original topic and sounded more like personal preferance rather historical accuracy. But Its already been confirmed the poll means nothing and a bug report with sources will be needed for the change to occur

thank you.

From what I can find the PL-8A is a licensed produced Python 3, the PL-8B got the 2 stage motor and an improved seeker, but I cannot find anything mentioning IRCCM being part of it. Some stuff from the PL-9 series that has multi-element IR seeker where added to the PL-8 but from what I can find they where to to allow seeker slaving compatibility with the Chinese radar and HMD.
