For missiles with little to no warhead, this is pretty accurate. For missiles with a large warhead, like R-37, and a large proxy fuze radius, it doesn’t need to maneuver as much as an R-60 in order to hit a target doing 8Gs.
Imagine a missile with a nuclear warhead for example, it might just need to do 5Gs get within 20km range of a fighter doing 8Gs and blast it to bits.
Warhead explosive mass and proxy radius x missile maneuvering load = Target G-load
If a missile has high explosive mass and high proxy radius then it doesn’t need a high missile G load.
But if a missile has a horrible warhead then it needs a higher missile G load since it needs to actually maneuver and get close to the target.

r74 is real but its kinda nothing compared to western or european IIR missiles, made to be cheap and reliable when the sight is clear, but when there is decoys and lasers around r74 falls behind shortly
My standpoint is gaijin introduce next gen fox3s like meteor, amraam D3/174, r77PD,pl15, but maybe just for test purposes for now
One of these is not like the others lol.

It is literally the exact same as the Navy’s most up to date SAM/anti everything missile
It was made to take down anything from ICBMs to aircraft to munitions
The only difference between the SM-6 and the aim-174 in reality is just the lack of a first stage booster, which the 174 wouldn’t need as it would already be launched at high altitude and speed, instead of from a boat
And now there is the aim-424 which seems like it will probably mog any missile out there right now
Tl;dr aim-174 wasn’t made for killing awacs, you are thinking like how stuff was made in the 60s and 70s. It was made as a SAM to protect ships in combat and as part of the nuclear defense system, and then they just slapped it on a plane

Not at all, with the recent buff all ARH missiles are finally somewhat competitive against each other.
For long range, well long range never happens anyway. But still you can use R-27ER or AIM-7M for that.
If you want these super crazy missiles I would prefer starting out with the OG long range missile like R-33 and AIM-97
Right now meteor would devastate every missile, we already have 120D and according to gayjin it sucks. 174B like meteor we are not ready for, R-77PD is a prototype and whilst you could weasel your way into the game id rather the R-77M (also we do NOT need that right now), etc etc
I think right now we either need nothing new at top tier, and fixes elsewhere. Maybe aim-120c-7, aam-4b, and i-derby-er can be added (but aim-120s still need a complete rework as it is)
To actually get these crazy missiles at top tier, we would need dramatically larger maps and imo a full implementation of ECM

won’t see at 400km with that trick, 80-100 for a surface target at most (which is already more than what would be allowed in a void mind you)
if you want to go further, you need a specialized, usually very low frequency, and ground fixed unit.
Several countries have these huge radars which look like a bunch of spears in the ground, but can bounce signal on the ionisphere and see up to ~3000km away. It won’t give you an accurate measuring or guide anything though, they are mostly research focused (and maybe a bit long range surveillance)
a ship radar is too conventional for this though, even if as you said, it can do limited over-the-horizon
If you say “gaijin must add an Indonesian air line in Japan” it might come : P

Nope.
Ok thanks :(
For some reason I thought there was a post by Smin that the CM disclosure is this or next week but I can’t find it for the life of me
Are there currently any WiP posts planned before the next dev season?
