also @Jadenbetter-live could you add the XAIM-4H to the list

More accurately is this
what details are available that are primary?
Well, given that they added thrust variation with altitude for the phoenix i took the trouble of compiling the speed and time information that’s in the graphs and the tables from the aim-4f SMC into a straightforward table:
As expected, there is a noticeable thrust increase with altitude, but it’s never particularly fast compared to other missiles. Still much better than the ingame one at 40000 feet, even within the limits of the comparison tool:
Most of the primary source documents i have just refrence names of people who worked on it. the only primary source that really says anything about the missile is Robert Talley’s report Robert Talley – SBRC-SBRS History which doesn’t say much about it other than confirming the larger warhead, proxy fuze being located at the rear of the missile, solid state electronics, and the fact that the dimensions stayed the same which were also confirmed by the photo of the missile itself
Somebody gotta find and scan this manual for the F-102A’s armament equipment.
Unfortunately, no one is selling the T.O. 1F-102A-1A manual online.

Hopefully it’s just because they didn’t have the time to make unique models for the AIM-4A/C/D rather than actual laziness.
The F-102 shown in the trailer is clearly the later model with case xx wings and IRST, so the question remains if they are just gonna duplicate it for the Greek (and turkish?) subtree, if if they are gonna also model the earlier case x wing without irst.

It’s gaijin, it’s most likely laziness.
Just opened this discussion thread
I have submitted and linked the AIM-4-Falcon-related bug reports in here.

it seems that they may be modelling the proper falcons after all in the backend right now, RB28 appeared as well, hopefully we’ll see the models in the CDK soon

Gentlemen, I am VERY pleased to present these clips to you, @majorlier meshed together the FM file for the AIM-4D with the model from the RB28 (which appears to just be an american AIM-4D model) and allowed me to catch these clips of what the AIM-4D might look like if it is added to the 102 this patch. I myself am EXTREMELY pleased to see the increase in low speed acceleration and reach, and am very excited to hear what you all have to say! (Of course, the performance you see here can absolutely be subject to change.)

This post has some footage of the AIM-26s in action on the J35XS.

Shouldn’t the f102 get aim26? It doesn’t have them in game right?
It doesnt have them in game yet and should.

I would have to disagree, I think it’ll drag the BR up too much, we should hope for AIM-4A and AIM-4D
I don’t believe the AIM-4 will be useful in any way, and two 7.62mm gunpods won’t save it.
have you seen the potential performance of the AIM-4D?

Does it have proxy fuse?
