AIM-4 missiles also went to Japan. The Japanese used AIM-4D and created the XAAM-2 missile based on it.

I left them out of users because I have found only one source (AAM 2 wikipedia) stating japan even had possession of the missiles and its unclear if they serviced the AIM-4D after the AAM2 experiment

No F-102 posts? Lucky for you I happen to have made one! The Deuce - Convair’s F-102A Delta Dagger
The AIM-4 and AIM-26 are missiles we need in the game, and their inclusion will open War Thunder up to many more vehicles!

As for what the graphs portray those are very accurate, however, the flight tests contradict the graphs and a lot of it is all estimates based on what they have
i have spoken to a sweede, the go to museum and data is accurate, however me saying this is not proof unfortunately
worse g pull about 20 maybe 25 but basically an RB28 in anything exept a better seeker
what is the source?, nvm i missed the smc bit
Standard Missile Characteristics published by USAF, file linked under each missile type
I spoke to them to and they said they cant verify any of it
According to the Swedish Airforce the RB27 reached speeds to mach 3 in the instances shown here and “hit” the target in a matter of seconds
This also shows the firing limits of the RB 27, which is an Aim 26B, and it is not bad
Tp 84 is a C130 Hercules in Swedish service

this would be peak for things like the F4C that have to use aim9Bs
We’re lucky that the AIM-4 on F-4C wouldn’t require you to do the ~15 to 20 step IRL switchology test every time.
Imagine if you had to do a CAPTCHA twice every time you wanted to use a Falcon from the Phantom, that’d be really accurate to how bad the Falcon was integrated into the Phantom.

better than aim9b 16gs
id rather 9b at that point
