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
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
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.
It’s feasible to make aim7m more multi-path resistant comparing to aim7f, which is also some of historically accurate since aim7f indeed using a improved seeker.
This can also be a justifaction of br difference for some vehicles.
