Flight performance of the missiles
It’s not about the relative performance compared to other missiles, it’s about the AIM-7s completely outperforming their own missile charts.
I’m just confused why they would tweak older missiles which are very accurate and not tweak the newer missiles which are still inaccurate.
sparrow roll, no english bias manuever. this rework was deserved after years of suffering through mediocre SARH.
I didn’t say it was completely 100% accurate, I was the one who made the report for missing English bias. But it was more accurate than other missiles which deserved the rework more. The accuracy of AIM-7 family has gone backwards to becoming more inaccurate.
If anything, they can work on the AIM-120 reports, ignore the AIM-7s for now.
is the rework for all of the sparrow family of missiles or just the US mods? (so things like Skyflash for example)
AIM-7: 9.0-14.3
AIM-120: 13.0-14.7
tell me which is more important to rework
yes, all of them, skyflash, aspide, etc

AIM-120s, because it’s more inaccurate than AIM-7F if the goal is to get all missiles accurate as possible.
neat, I saw that AIM-7Ps now out turn PL-12s but what actually changed?
pull harder, much better at maintaining speed, got altitude dependent thrust like AIM-54. motor was nerfed but this is fine as the FM rework makes up for it, and it was overperforming a lot
So when will the armor reconfiguration bug report be implemented?
wonder if the Skyflash can actually contend with R-27Rs now since before the skyflash was only really good at WVR combat
SuperTEMP probably but idk about base skyflash since it is an AIM-7E-2

I could be missreading this but is that not actually a nerf?
the time to target is the same in both images but the distance covered is different
try again but higher up. its turning is also improved

I just checked with the telemetry data (i mistook the flight path) and yeah no defiantly an improvement
at 40 seconds, the Skyflash was only at about 18km on the live server, on the dev its at a distance of about 22km which is a pretty big improvement making it actually faster to target then the R27R by a good margin now

After only having mostly air focused updates since december 2023? Good.

we are literally get a rework to the entire Sparrow family, the Mig35S, J16, and a greek rafale how the hell is that “neglected” there is the same amount of top tier tanks this update as there are jets.

Air has still not caught up to using up its potential compared to ground, especially when it comes to air technologies versus ground technologies.
