The AIM-54 Phoenix missile - Technology, History and Performance

I don’t think any of this is official, or if it is, it requires the proof of declassification and availability for public distribution before you post it here.

I got it from here

They got the pictures from here: Scale Data and it doesn’t seem like any of them are classified. Looks like it’s acquired under the “Freedom of Information Act” or Museum documentation.

Claims of it being obtained are not proof of it being provided.

the thurst in-game are wrong

By how much?

the game is around 14.400kn, in the document of the friend says a 5000 lbf which is 22241,11N

In-game thrust is correct for high alt launch conditions

if you compare, the aim-54 still has the advantage before the 20 seconds of burn, the Phoenix still have one the best energy retentions in game

Might have just found a bunch more flight data for the AIM-54

The data is in Appendix E ( begins PDF pg# 59) and details basically everything about 9 shots.

Maximum altitude of AIM 54+ (latest variant): 30 000 meters. So it could shoot down the SR-71 Blackird or the U-2 spy plane :-)

Welp.That’s unfortunate.

Welp. There’s no excuse now. The SU-30 is in the game and there’s no mention of anything for the F-14/Aim-54 besides TWS+. Do you have any more data for a bug report? @MythicPi

They reduced the beamwidth (for AIM-54A/C & Fakour) to 6 degrees

Not sure why only for the transmitter though
