Ok so you’re essentially just muddying the waters. It’s pretty much spamming “nuh uh” at this point…
the thrust vectoring part on the vertical launch ESSM doesnt even have extra propellant
and according to this an ESSM weights 279kg, so gaijin probably just used this weight for AMRAAM ER

I read it, but tell me what your solid arguments are, and I tested it again and reached Mach 2.87. I repeat, the maximum speed is still useless.
bruh
Once again I hardly believe this as the in game listed maximum speed is 920m/s, this speed is also on the data miners guided weaponry sheet. 920m/s is Mach 2.682 not 2.87.
Fair enough then, not sure how that happened.
I’ve seen more and I’ve seen less, it depends on how the launch goes and the height of the target.
and this gives the same weight for AMRAAM ER
so yes given their similar aerodynamic properties they should have about the same preformance
mach numbers change with altitude (temperature and so on) the 3277km/h still only translate to 910m/S so mach 2.65 on sea level
Now we are beginning to make progress. It seems that the missile weighs the same as the ESSM, which is interesting, but I still have doubts about the impact of aerodynamics due to the shape of the missile.
Ah yes, thinner missile tip and 1kg less = 20% worse distance and an estimated 33% less speed
it possible Have you seen the range of a ground-based AIM-120C7?
AMRAAM-ER is a ground based only missile unlike 120C-7

I wonder why a C-7 can’t go 120km on the ground, I wonder if it’s because the C-7 doesn’t have the initial gravitational potential energy it would have from a plane going Mach 1
I was wondering if you knew, because if the AIM-120C7 has a maximum range of 25 km based on the ground, that means the AMRAAM-ER should have 50% more than that, which translates to 37/38 km. So if you knew, we could find out if the distance is correct or not.
Once again R-27ET, and ER have a similar situation. But in this case ET has a flat nose cone which harmfully impacts much more than amraam-er having a skinnier nose cone. And when you look at the data, ET and ER are not that far apart.
That’s the point, it MAKES no sense as to why it’s 40km but the math says 37/38km despite irl specs saying it’s 50Km
And this is assuming the AMRAAM-ER nose cone difference actually has a negative impact on it.
