Yeah if we could get more sources about that, that would be great. Wonder how they would model it though. Think they would do the same thing as they did with the Stinger and make it FOV+Seekerhead shut-off?

Maybe a bit more like the Ty-90s on the Chinese heli even though I believe they are optical in addition

Thank you! In the past they changed the Type 93’s weight based upon an image of a display placard like this, so it makes me wonder if even a single image might work… Though changing weight is one thing, changing the way the seekerhead works is another.

They use exactly same way to capture a target, like Stinger for example (IFOV + flare rejection). If we know that Stinger is IR + UV, then AAM-3 should have the same qualities.

The wings break easily, even more than before… wtf?
Yea this is the high roll rate. If you roll around and mouse aim at the same time, you’ll get the wing overload (because the mouse aim will use the instructor and applies rudder). Just don’t use mouse aim when rolling around or make sure not to make sudden movements. I rather play with the high roll rate because I use my keyboard to make turns.

Yea, I don’t know what this is referring to, but it’s the only thing I’ve seen when it comes to TWS (not sure it Tws here is referring to TWS either). Hopefully it’s coming soon though.
Apparently the TWS bit is a typo, but since they’re working on it, maybe it will be something we’ll see soon.

My report about AAM-3 for Gaijin wish me luck…
everyone feel free to take use of all the information I had gathered in the process, it took 2 months to filter through almost 8 books to find something useful

“Japanese-made SAM missiles in the game using IR/Optic similar technology to that of AAM-3 are Type 81C (SAM-1C) and Type 91 (SAM-3). However, they may be wrong implemented as well and missing the imaging seeker”
I might be wrong but I think IIR used only in type-91kai, probably same with type81
I think it’s using a generalized form of IIR, maybe meaning imaging seeker in general.
The Type 81 and Type 93 should generally be optical CCD imaging seekers with backup IR (not sure if IR would also be imaging).
AAM-3 uses IR/UV dual band seeker. This report would mean it’s also imaging rather than contrast seeking.
Sadly so far there is no function for imaging seekers present in the game, but it will likely be added in the future. And the IR/UV seeker, same as the Stinger, would at least warrant receiving equal IRCCM to that missile.

Question, besides bombs, can the F-15s use FARR rockets or Zuni rockets? I use them a lot for CAS so curious to know if they are able to carry/use. Ty!
Hmm dont think so i never seen F-15J with rocket pods equipped
dang, was hoping to CAS with it more. Will just rely on the F-16AJ and F-4EJ Kai for that role then.
Really loving the skin, hoping to see the Mt. Fuji Camo. That one is my most favorite one. Will even pay 5 Gaijin coins for it, idc XD
