US has Aim7R , dont know about japan or others though
First of:
AIM-7R never seen production → budget were cancelled.
So i’m not sure that kind of missiles would enter the game.
Secondly:
I don’t see how general missiles talk can relate on having the honor to not be willing to have better missile technology over every other nations,…
Well , it is not like R-27ET was ever used in a mission ( like 90% of russian missiles or tech)or R-27ER ever mounted on a Mig 29
What is going to eeduce them to be cancelled project as they were desperate attempts to not die after soviet collapse

R-27ET entered service 1990 aslongside the R-27ER, which AIM-7R NEVER DID,… see the difference ?
And if considering usage IRL to be in game, then only R-27R can be added to the game, as none other misilles variant were ever used in combat,…

But… why would that matter? The 7R is not a prototype, its not a technical drawing or a vague set of specifications. Its a missile that was manufactured in some numbers and was tested extensively. Only difference between it and the R-27EXs is the numbers produced and a checkmark in the “In service?” field
Which means qualifications for x and x aircrafts
Which means production grade model and not prototype grade model
Which means reliable results thoughout years
Which means values are far more accurate as far more users had their hands on them, instead of secret values kept out of document during prototypes stages (no gimped values)
Which means no differences between missiles, while prototypes always are different to test all possible configurations,…
Therefore,… Entering service for a missile is far more intersting game wise, because it is far more accurate in the end

Right, in order
- Every aircraft capable of firing the sparrow M is capable of firing the sparrow R
- What does that even mean? How would one differentiate between a missile that never entered full service but had presumably hundreds of articles manufactured (including the RIM-7R) and a missile that did enter service and realistically has had less than 200 missiles produced (R-27EX)
- The extended range variants of the R27 have never been used in combat
- Same as the point above
- Same as point 2

The AIM-7R’s Seeker was recycled as the MHIP seeker, which was subsequently used by / shared with the RIM-66 Block IIIB so its not as if performance is unknowable.

just more proof that we are not even in the equation
Am i the only one for who the CLDP keeps losing lock as soon as i make a move with the 2kD??
i use the AS30 btw
All is there,… come back with sources dude.
R-27ET have been produced over 500 missiles depending on sources i’ve found, both for export and for Russia,…
AIM-7R // RIM-7R:
Only 9 missiles RIM-7R were launched for test, using DD967 Elliott & DD 976 Merrill; from Spruance class destroyers (4 missiles of which failed to be launched during the 1st phase of test, were re-used and fired at the 2nd phase)
AIM-7R seen only 1 missile produced - platform of test is unknown

Despite being knowledgeable, there were only 1 AIM-7R built as AIM-7R
It absolutely has been acknowledged? What are you talking about.

He said that it’s still not implemented yet ^^"
Well implementation and passing for consideration are two different things. Sure it’s not been changed but we have passed it on.

And thanks for that, now we will have to await the diligency of Gaijin about implementing it ASAP to be competitive against R-73

No there has been a misunderstanding i meant what i said i jumped to this conclusion because usually when a report is forwarded usually the issue is closed and the mod examinating the report usually drops a message with “report forwarde” or something while this one stayed open so i thought the issue has just been recognized but not yet passed
Btw @Gunjob do you know about anything related to the discussions about Magic 2 real maneuverability because from the two reports that i have seen for the moment sources are clear about the subject that Magic 2 had better maneuverability (this one Community Bug Reporting System) and that it was achieved thanks to a peculiar system that Magic 2 had that magic 1 didn’t have which is the back fins of the missile rotates on an axis ( showed and explained here Community Bug Reporting System) and both reports have been closed while sources were official material. What kind of source, if we submitted a new reports with all the sources of both the reports, should be added for the devs to consider the maneuverability increase and not deny it once again?
The tail rotates to avoid roll interference. The AIM-9 installs rollerons and is roll stabilized to avoid this. Just a different method of avoiding roll interference.
However, it helps since the missile actively rolls to maneuver in combined plane. This is just something gaijin doesn’t think is true because we do not have a primary source at this time.
What logic is that supposed to be?
