I have just unlocked the Ayit and was wondering which missle is overall better.
They’re effectively the same except the AIM-9D is slighty better because it’s lighter
AIM-9D is better at most of time
but uncomfortable due to being caged
Shafrir 2 were comfy than AIM-9D because it is uncaged
But has quite much shorter range…
Try both and choose whatever you prefer. XD
9D for long shots, Shafrir up close since you can give it lead.
The Aim-9D is better in every single way except that it is a caged seeker missile. Use the Shafrir 2 on flareless or unsuspecting planes that are close up and need missile lead, otherwise use the Aim-9D.

shafrir has bad range (think aim9b level bad)
aim9d is one of the longer ranged ir missiles in the game, you can hit people from like 4 km (even more from altitude)
bring both since you get only 2 aim9d’s
