Or the even better and easier to read TL;DR:
EVEN THE C-5 PULLS LIKE AN R-77
Well even with the rcs.
Multipathing wozld protect them
the RCS generated from the blades would heavily dampen multipathing, not like missiles from the 2020 should be effected by multipathing at such altitudes to begin with

What’s the best arh after the changes?

The answer is still Yes
Unlike live, most missiles on dev can pull “enough”. Which one actually pulls more Gs doesn’t matter as much as one would think it does.
But mica still has the best seeker, theres that

MICA, probably. But the others aren’t slouches either.
The one thing MICA lacked was range
Quick profile in Statshark for new vs. old MICA (1500 km/h launch and target head-on, 9 km alt, 40 km initial range). New MICA is faster in terminal but slower initially. Old MICA is still quicker to hit. Also doing a very weird loft, not sure if it’s Statshark bug or guidance was also changed somehow.
Someone should also do an actual test on the dev server.
Now only if AMRAAM got seeker buff, that would be nice (but other Buffs are very good as well)

There will obviously be another change, and all the missiles are very weird.
seeker report was shutdown this week because devs aparently have their own sources for 15 degrees

However the seeker lock on range of AIM-120D is still worse than what AIM-120A had IRL…
overslept

I’m not sure seeker lock range is actually that much of a benefit in War Thunder. Notching is relatively easy, and the more time you give someone to detect that they are locked to the more time they have to evade. It just seems more logical to me in war thunder to actually have smaller lock range and use the 90°+ FoV to track a target while in notch with the Gripen and EFT. And F15, F18… just have to crank as much as they can while guiding the missile ig
It seems these new buffs to fox-3s will make BVR a real potential capability. These missiles have more range, better time-to-target, and HOBS capabilities. You don’t have as much time to notch missiles like you did before anymore.
I guess they are preparing for more spicy additions before the end of the year. Maybe IIR, maybe 5th gen, probably both
I’d be happy with next-gen IR missiles, SCALP, ESM and they can delay 5th gens til next year.
