Why?
The historically buffed AIM-54C is basically even more range, more pulls and less chaff sensitivity than current one.
But assuming the F-14B was moved up in BR with fully modeled Aim-54C. Why would it be especailly deadly in Sim? Would still likely be worse than AMRAAM.
Still, radar cant see side/cold aspect
This discussion is all for nothing. If they’d have any plans of doing something they would’ve done it already like within 2 weeks of introducing 14.0 BR. Also they haven’t changed any SB battle ratings in like 2 years except for a few unscheduled undebated changes. They do not care and the very existence of Air SB seems like a pain in the ass for them.
I was going to ask what the hell is the AIM-7MN. Couldn’t find anything on Google and just two mentions on this forum. But Deepseek knew:
"What are the upgrades of AIM-7M/N over the AIM-7M?
The AIM-7M and AIM-7N are variants of the AIM-7 Sparrow missile, a medium-range, semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile. Here are the key upgrades of the AIM-7M and AIM-7N over the earlier AIM-7M:
AIM-7N:
- Further ECM Resistance: The AIM-7N includes additional enhancements to its electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) capabilities, making it even more resistant to jamming and other forms of electronic warfare.
- Improved Reliability: The AIM-7N has further improvements in reliability and maintainability, reducing the likelihood of malfunctions and making it easier to service.
- Software Upgrades: The AIM-7N may include software upgrades that improve its overall performance, including better target discrimination and engagement capabilities.
These upgrades make the AIM-7M and AIM-7N more effective and reliable in modern combat scenarios compared to the earlier AIM-7M."
It just wrong.
Is there accurate information anywhere?
Sorry, I meant Aim-7MH. Basically an Aim-7F/M with lofting. And the Aim-7P adds datalink, IOG, and ECM resistance.
The Aim-54C would get an all-aspect seeker. It was upgraded and the seeker’s features were used on the AMRAAM project.
thats 54C+
and you cant find targets by Phoenix seeker, you need to use AWG-9
No, it was the base Aim-54C that got the seeker upgrade. The C+ was anti-countermeasures.
