With the massive warhead, improved MPRF seeker and 25G turn, the Aim-54C’s effective range goes from 40km- 200km, all they way down to 16km with the Mk.47 and 9km with the Mk.60. It will technically be able to be outpulled, but considering the massive speed difference and 30m splashzone, that will never happen. It will also become one of the best rear aspect radar missiles in the game, having the tightest notch gate in the game and an insane burn time.
with a cw seekerhead? press x to doubt. sure it can have tighter notches gates in theory only due to it having a utterly massive diameter, but in practice it will always be limited due to not having a pd radar like its later contemporaries and only cw seekerhead
Have a tight “notch gate” has nothing to do with the antenna’s diameter. Apples to oranges.
Nor its only something that can only be done with pulsed waveforms, this falls under the signals processing part.
Look up the skyflash’s speed gate, ±3kts. CW from a phantom.
You can track target throught the beam with range if the clutter is not in the same bin(s) as the clutter to be short
Also,
If he says the waveform is MPRF, its not a CW…
6 knots? In game or irl? Because in game it’s much much large than that. I sincerely doubt it is that small. For example, aim 7s have ±150 knots speed gate irl if I remember right
Gaijin already knows about the 25G capability and refuses to model it, so dont hold your breath on that. Thats something thats been discussed at length ever since the AIM-54 was added.
