I meant that the thrust is not optimised, not the seeker. I know it can engage target behind. But its thrust is a very high boost speed straigh off the rail.
The Python 5/Iris-T have low thrust at the start so they are able to turn more effectively at low speed.
So the turn radius and the 180* Time is worse than other 5gen missile (probably around 4sec) but it’s still able to do them.
I’ve made a google sheets for all the values of the missile in the thread.
If you want to make direct comparaison between missile then it’s easier that way.
I’ll add the FOX 3 missile from the other thread in the futur.
I added a new turkish missile: the Bozdoğan.
Unfortunatly since it’s very new (only started production this year) there’s really not a lot of information on it.
If you got any sources giving more characteristics then please respond to this comment so i can upgrade my thread on the only turkish FOX 2 missile!
I know the RB-74 is just the swedish designation of the AIM-9L (and it went into service extensively)
But the RB-24M (swedish designation of the AIM-9M), never saw anything about it or even mentionning it.
Is it a real export AIM-9M that sweden bough or just a balancing thing that Gaijin has done because the Gripen with 6 AIM-9L would be DOA?
I found a document saying that americans refused selling them the Mike model so they asked the Germans for the Li version, for the sake of sweden’s balance I hope that purchase happened.
now this is a copy of aim-9m
The best thing to do is to make a report and either remove it and replace it with aim-9m, or change it to the real version.
I think it is a balancing decision by Gaijin. The closest I have gotten to evidence of a Swedish 9M was that it had been brought in for limited compatibility testing.
Although the Hungarian variant uses the 9M which should suffice for verification of utilization.
