Looks like all of the new fox 3’s got loft improvements or adjustments, AIM-54C got passed over, as usual…

Max fin AoA = Better G pull right?
both fin AOA and lateral acceleration have an effect

Yes, but theres kinda more to it than that. Other things that would modify that would be wing area multipliers for example

Bit of a late reply but not to mention the missile locking on to other missiles.
That’s almost a complete fantasy
You can also lock rockets as well. A phantom when it launches its rockets is basically impossible to lock

As long as there is speed. I think this change was intend to fix the issue where Aim120 and other ARH with high fin AoA can still maintain level flight when their speed reduces to 500km/h, which is totally unrealistic.
Is it? Skyflash had a min speed of M0.5 at sea level…
The issue is like the missile barely looses speed when this happens, they will glide forever until they self destruct. If you watched replay when modern ARH was first released, you will notice a lot of random ARH missiles floating in the air and won’t fall to the ground. This made RWR next to useless since a random floating missile locked on to you will ruin your day.
The other implications is modern ARH will turn less hard when they are slow. Previously this had made ARH undodgeable by pulling Gees even if you managed to make them subsonic: they can still pull quite a lot of Gees when flying slowly.
620km/h at sea level.
At that speed the maximum manoeuvring capability is <10g, it would require the aircraft to fly into the missile, not the other way around.
@Gunjob @David_Bowie Any update on the AIM-54C reduced smoke motor?

Nothing yet, I’ve nudged it.

Maybe also nudge the AIM-120 reduced smoke motor reports as well.
Will need to wait for atleast the next major to pass before I can. But I’ll keep it in mind.
