That’s an unusual opinion since the AIM-9D/G is the same missile, but the seeker is not locked…

idk man for some reason aim-9d feels more reliable. Maybe it has something do with lower BR(10.X) jets that get it.
not sure if it was a bug but on the Dev server, the 9J could not be slaved to the radar on the F-5E and the F-4E
AIM-9J can’t radar slaving. Radar slaving was added after AIM-9P-3.
ohhh ok when was this changed?
I believe so, I remember it being able to.
I’m not trying to say you are lying, but this image doesn’t “prove” it.
To prove it, you’d want to lock a target and keep IR missile gimbal range away from target. The circle in the center should be on the edge of the gimbal circle in direction of locked target if it is attempting to slave to the target.
yeah sorry if my pic was deceiving i should have posted a vid or something. But like is this feature not historical? is it gonna be removed in the update?
I don’t know, according to Bowie the AIM-9J should not be slaved by the radar.
The AIM-9L’s explosive mass was slightly increased per my report on the dev.

It’s not much, but it’s more than it was before.

Can AIM-9Ps be slaved to radar on dev server? Because it seems, from a datamine, they did not lose this capability?
We have a report in for AIM-9P/J not having support for SEAM (Sidewinder Extended Acquisition Mode) this is needed for the missile to support radar slaving.
Starting with AIM-9P-3, radar slaves have been added. Developers left radar slaves in AIM-9P and Rb24J

Nice.
Just waiting for it’s flare resistance in the rear aspect to be fixed now.

So 9Js are overperforming on the live server right now?
Well, sort of. They are being slaved by radar which should not be the case. The missile can still uncage the seeker once you’ve put it on the target.
yeah i know that
Did F-4J(USA) ever use AIM-9L or any IR missiles apart from the ones in game?(I know AIM-95 was tested on it)
