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

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.

Aim7m has better seeker

33

Nope.

34

That misconception might be caused by most AIM-7M carriers having better all aspect PD radars.

Missiles are the exact same in the files except the name

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.

There is no difference. They are the exact same.

37

Look at what i showed above

38

So why the diffrance on the transmission stats in the files?

Bro chill stop rage baiting

There is a mod telling you you’re wrong. Hop off your high horse and admit it

41

No like explain to me why the stats on the files are diffrent
Also if u right and its the plane that matters its still not useless mod and u have diffrance in game

42

the difference would still be useless as there are no tangible differences even when you try to use the buffed 7M comparisons…are you serious? the reason the 7M is better on the jets is because its ON THOSE JETS. The EXACT SAME BUFFS would be applied to the 7F

43

Different launch platforms and different radars.

On the same plane the stats are the exact same… meaning yes it is a useless mod.

44

Well correct me if im wrong but only f18 has aim7f and aim7m so its something new and i need a proof cuz in the files there isnt a better version of aim7f on the f16/f15 that is the same as aim7m

46

U telling me that on the f18 aim7f and aim7m have the exact same stats?
So why rly there is 2 diffrent mods to the f18? Thats stupid

Yes, indeed it is stupid. I mean, they could be using the “wrong” missile column for the aim7F in the F-18A. If that is the case it would mean a slight upgrade yes, but probably not.

That’s exactly my issue—if the AIM-7F and AIM-7M are identical in the game, then why do we have to research the same missile twice? I think GAIJIN should either keep only the AIM-7M or replace it with the AIM-7P.
