While you are forced to launch at ±45 degrees, the missile can properly engage onto enemies that are ±75 degrees which is higher than the 60 of the aam-3
turning it off and on again should be fine
Unfortunately not, japan is generally vague about stuff, and “９０式空対空誘導弾 Ｐ １０１０” is missing from our archives for some reason.
So most of our information is pieced together from multiple sources.

Also just adding an example here to what I have been discussing at the bottom (ignore my flying skills, I suck lol):
The F-15 part is irrelevant, but I wanted to point out how the vertical HMD is useful and how you don’t really feel the loss of a HMD.
I also wanted to showcase what I meant about the 1 circle scenario (even though in this clip I was late and only because it was an F-16 was I able to match his turn and it being against an AIM-120 pull hard to kinematically evade). However, it shows how you could potentially trade depending on how much energy both aircraft burn to get the first shot.
Also you can see that I opted to use the AAM-4 once the F-16 was out of multipath height instead of AAM-3 but I did queue up the AAM-3 just in case the AAM-4 did not track or did no damage (missile bug that hopefully should be fixed by now)

Very cool, but I must ask - why not carry the two extra AAM-3s?

I’m going for the “Ace Combat” loadout because I think it looks cool, that’s all lol
looks like Sparrows to me tho
googled Ace Combat F2, it has 6 AAM-4s xd nvm that’s some Super Kai fantasy
They probably are using that model though the point being the placement of the pylons. It just looks aesthetically pleasing to me to have your “main weapons” on your wings and “self defense” weapons on your wing tips.
Yea, I was going to say, it’s the Super Kai they added at some point in AC7 that had additional pylons
it dose, the ef and rafale currently have very similar flight performance with the only real discrepancy being high speed g limit with the rafale being able to pull 15-16g while the ef is closer to 14g. so effectively the fight plays out the same it just might take slightly longer for the ef to win in rate as the better high speed pull of the rafale allows it to merge faster and carry more speed in the early stages of the fight which effectively lets it gain a bunch of angle for free.
i doubt it

I’m having this problem, and even with the enemy in my field of vision, the radar is blind. Not to mention that on the first lock on the enemy, the radar simply goes blank.
Yeah it was mostly fine for me before, but recently the ACM mode is broken. It drops the lock instantly or tries to lock random stuff all over the place

So guys do yall think it’s better or worse than the f-15 at both 13.0/13.7?
I’d say, ADTW is better than 13.0 F-15 (same missile loadout, better radar, worse dynamics, but better dogfighter), but tech tree one is worse than F-15J(M). Worse missile loadout and lacking of HMD are crucial. ACM is NOT a replacement for HMD.
I had a lot of situations when I have 1-2 enemy planes in ~10 km in front of me, and few enemies in ~15-20 km in front of me. I need to choose closer target, launch my missile and go defensive. But I can’t! Because ACM locks everything but the target I need. So, I need to fight with ACM instead of my enemy. So, I can’t launch my missile in time, so I can’t get a kill, or simply die. In a second case, you can go defensive immediately, without trying to launch your missile, but it’s already bad (sometimes fatal bad) positioning. Just because you don’t have HMD.
You also can’t launch IR missiles proactively if the enemy is going towards or perpendicular to you

I like the f2-a more than the f-15jm even tho the jm can use 8 spamram´s and hmd. the f2-a turns pretty consistent at every speed. and only having 4 aam4´s is not that bad if you get onto close range combat…
and I just turn the radar off when I used the aam4´s and go into a close range fight so the aam3´s wont go for targets I dont want…
That seems to be a bug that needs fixing. No other ACM behaves this way and it’s very annoying.
