No, but a core tenant of the ASRAAM was to be able to outstick basically anything and hit the target before they could fire. Everything else is irrelevant if the target cant get into range to use their own wepaons.
Germans disagreed with this philosophy which is why they left hte program to develop IRIS-T which basically takes the opposite approach.
But whilst 50km is under certain conditions, all reported missile ranges are the same.
IRIS-T is reported to have a max range of 25km, but I doubt you would want to fire one past about 10km usually
no no i meant 9m and AAM3 the AAM3 being slightly better at range it was a example
as far as i know aim9X pulls roughly 60Gs while asraam only pulls 50G but gets extra range so id say its a trade off
I mean they didn’t want PIRATE on their eurofighters and have made so so many stupid decisions in the last few decades this doesn’t surprise me at all that they disagreed with doing BVR
We don’t know which block of 9M we are on, but even the later blocks of 9Ms aren’t much better than what we currently have.
The way Gaijin generalizes missile performance doesn’t really allow for the real differences between missiles and their variants.
Again, there is no way to differentiate them. They only differ in ways that are not modelled ingame and most likely couldn’t be modelled even if Gaijin wanted to.
PIRATE is the irst (FLIR) system on the Eurofighter. its an IR camera which searches for aircraft just like a radar but because its heat seeking and doesn’t fire any radiation will not trigger a RWR making it impossible to detect the use of.
how its integrated on non german eurofighters means that you can fire all your missiles (yes including FOX-3) without triggering RWRs at all. they wont know until its too late.
Germany thought this was a silly idea and didn’t install it on their fleet.
