no that is clearly a reduction in smoke. burn time isnt the reason why the trail is much shorter.
Specifically to you…
yeah sorry i dont remember this one.
I don’t even play most of these games, I’m larp maxxing. Only one I play is Genshin, other ones I’m using to troll my some of friends who are actual whales on gacha games (one of them spends 70 percent of his paycheck on wuwa for example)

Newer low smoke propellants have both lower smoke and higher performance over time, this is natural development of stuff. We shouldn’t be seeing so much smoke on the ARH missiles.

a mate of mine grinds every gacha that comes out, i dont know how he does it. i tried playing destiny rising for a while but those devs gated graphics settings so i had to play a mosaic that ran at 30fps on my phone(which was running cool and had plenty of graphics slack).

Following the MICA vs 120 discussion…here’s a rough approximation that shows the difference in actual tracking ranges over various altitudes and weather conditions, provided MICA works at 19GHz, like in game…
Table 1 – ISA Conditions (Standard Dry Air)

GEN4.5’s RCS is set to ~2m^2, while F35 is set to ~0.01m^2 and 120’s FoV is set to 12°, instead of 15° like in game. Keep in mind that these ranges are theoretical and in practice are even smaller, for both missiles, but the trend is quite obvious.
