I did out of curiosity look around as well, sometimes people do hear one thing or say one thing and it spreads. I only ever see Fantom make reports for Russian missiles, and I camp on his page. He hasn’t made any reports saying as much.

@Smin1080p_WT Is there any likelihood of the AAM-4B being added to Japan anytime soon? I looked around at different missiles that could be added and it seems like the next logical step.

It’s their C-5 equivalent I suppose (if they buff it to historical levels), mostly just interested to see how they improve (if they even bother) the seeker to AESA.

aam4b likely wont be THAT good due to its insane min range

Didn’t they put AIM-95 on a Sabre?

probably a bit stronger than regular seekers and will annoyingly relock onto you even if you had chaffed it.

More reason then to add it?

I assume that’s after it has decided the chaff is not a valid target?

Sounds annoying. Also sounds like it could lead to some funny moments in dogfights where the missile gets chaffed and then goes for a friendly.

Yeah.

As well as the forbidden airplane, too

I think its a more reasonable assumption that the seeker will largely not be modeled

Eventually they’re gonna have to get rid of the MP stuff. Particularly as for CAMM it’s kinda ironic that it has an anti-surface capability like something such as Brimstone would have (designed for anti corvette/boats).

Less looking at MP and more at how easy it is to notch most missiles. I seriously doubt it was that easy IRL, otherwise things like TRDs wouldnt have been added to aircraft

and as we have seen with Aim-120C5, they are happy leaving it the same as the previous generation

Something something capable of intercepting a target the size of a tennis ball flying at more than mach 2.

Just uhhh, model the seeker off of marketing propaganda or something.

Yeah…

Ok cool, now give RCS of a tennis ball, or you get a default value.

wasn’t the AAM4B passed to the devs recently iirc?

Yeah

With the newer SAMs coming especially will have to either get rid of it or tone it down since most of the future additions will be either SARH or ARH.
