Depends on whether they’re early or late sea sparrows. Later ones only share a general form, and are basically an entirely different much better missile system IIRC

Enterprise is 1960’s carrier, probably early sea sparrows

The J-10B is equipped with PESA radar, due to AESA not being completed as expected, it is temporarily replaced by PESA. The batch produced after AESA is completed and put into operation is named J-10C. J-10B only serves as a bridge between A and C

it was in service for a long time, no reason you couldn’t get a later one, given that it’s going to be launching F/A-18Es

it looks too ugly to be in game. the superstructure isnt supposed to be in the front

no later sea sparrows would be too good, like 40km range iirc

Only decommissioned in 2012, though, so the 90s Evolved Sea Sparrows are entirely possible :P

fair enough, the Kuznetsov effectively has the Tor for air defense, like 200 missiles worth but only a 15km max range

ready to launch or total ammo?

for sake of game, not yet until harpoon and working granit

where is the actual leak on the multi vechicle

In 24 revolving VLS tubes, so they can be rapid fired

To be fair, those are anti-ship missiles while the ESSM is a SAM :P

Edit: And datalink/Terminal SARH-guided for block 1, Terminal ARH guided for Block 2

well there should be a way to hit carrier from outside SAM range, the point of SAM on carrier would be to stop ppl spawncamping carrier jets

Grace us with your silence please
