They’re actually considerably more maneuverable (15-18g depending on model) and with generally better seekers, the lack of a proxy fuze is their only real shortcoming, plus the pretty poor energy. They’re dogfight missiles, a low tier R-73.

Yeah those were removed though when Italy became a thing (I still have all those bombers) and were not replaced with another subnation.

Yeah, it’s a stretch, but all the remaining century-series not in game yet are. 101, 102 and 106 were all fast, clumsy planes with either poor or non-existent effective (conventional) armaments. Can’t really blame Gaijin for leaving them out. (We can add the Avro Arrow and late-model F-89 to that list too.)
4 M39s isn’t ineffective, nor are the 101s clumsy.

The C-35 is needed to balance the Swordfish and Po-2. They are truly monstrous planes, and only the C-35 can bring peace to the skies.
