Is there any difference between the AIM-7M and AIM-7F in War Thunder now?

Yeah no, don’t make stuff up.

Caused by different aircraft, not by different missiles. Gaijin made the dumb decision to sometimes change missile stats in subtle, (read: NOT noticable by you, ways) that are meant to reflect a change regarding the HOST AIRCRAFT and not the missile itself.

They are identical in WT. Do not spread misinformation.

U are the one spreading misinformation look at the stats of the transmission also more gimble limit

can you even explain to me what these terms mean? No? didnt think so… don’t spread misinformation

this is the even more accurate stats, using the default parameters on both (not modified by host aircraft)

The literal only coded difference is a gimbal limit of 55 on the 7F and 60 on the 7M, which is not physically noticable by you, as biased/human as you are.

You are forgetting the most obvious difference, one has F and one has M. 🫠
I will say the 5 degrees gimbal limit and the aircraft is tends to come on does probably explain why the 7m is considered slightly more difficult to evade than the 7f in warthunder.
I also didn’t know they were that identical in game 🤣 confirmation bias is an amazing thing.

No, both are identical in all moments in gameplay. People make up differences in their mind because the human brain is absolutely atrocious at figuring out these things. It’s wrong 99% of the time.

Oh I dodged that guys 7F but not that other guy’s 7M? Must be because the missile is better! I will then continue to say the 7M is better for 3 years until someone corrects me with receipts in a war thunder forum thread or reddit or discord etc

This is the aim7m
It has better reciver/transmission and the biggest thing it has 15 km more range to lock on

This aim 7f

Notice that f14 and f20 aim7f is upgraded but for the rest like f4 the aim7f has worse transmission and leas range

Arent those just due to the radar on the aircraft, not the missile?

Not correct, please use the correct columns.

As far as i aware no its raw missile stats
Aim7m has easuer time to pick up a lock from all aspect

No. Incorrect. Please use the correct columns.

It is lol check it its f15s aim7m (the f16c is has even a bit stronger seeker same for f14b which have 80km lock)
And the defult aim7f

I won’t entertain or humor you going forward. Please use the correct columns. You currently are not.

This is the most up to date AAM spreadsheet

these are the correct columns


You are comparing the 7F to a different 7M column where its buffed due to being used by a specific jet.

No u are ponting on the defult aim7m which not common at all and idk if its even on any aircraft in the game
Its make way more sanse to use f15s/f16s aim7m

Maybe it was on the k2k?

Refer to me not humoring you going forward. Thanks.

Make ur point and if u right i will admit im wrong
If u cant then im right but insted of admiting im right u run away

So does this mean that if I unlock the AIM-7F, there’s no need to unlock the AIM-7M? To be honest, the F/A-18A should be allowed to use the AIM-7P—at least then, spending tens of thousands of XP on extra research would have some meaning.

We don’t need the undertiered, overpowered hornets to be even more powerful

I don’t mind GAIJIN increasing the BR, and I don’t think the F/A-18A will stay at a 12.3 BR forever.
