Sparrow missiles are absolute trash

US Navy missile, not airforce + isnt there an issue of the F-15A radar not being datalink capable?

Weird, because id say IOG+DL fixes most of the 7M guidance issues.

Yeah i have much better luck with all the Russian fox 1’s in game than any sparrow variant. I feel like the higher up in BR you go, the worse the sparrows feel. once your above a BR of 12, they are so unreliable and frustrating to use even on jets like the F-18A and F-15A

It would be nice to see the F-14B get access to the 7Ps- that may make it a much more 13.0 worthy aircraft. It would certainly be nice at least.

Sparrows (f and m) are great for what they are against average player in ARB, sure they are worse than r27er but still great around 12.0 - 12.3, i have not played f15a ever since it came at 12.7 so i wont comment on that.

Their stats are fine, but in practice they are completely unreliable. Even in a near perfect launch scenario they will sometimes just fail to track

Those missles lacks in acceleration, rest are okish. I had +30km range kills with the 7P
