Talk:Air-to-air missiles

Can anyone write something about the SARH locking circle? What does it mean when its red, what does it mean two red circles? maybe add two screenshots too. --PolnischerBandit (talk) 10:34, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

I tried a bit in test flight and i found a discrepancy between the lock rings and the radar computer: You can still hit the target even if the radar computer says its out of launch range (too close or too far doesnt matter) the rings seem to be better predictors.. but there is no explanation on what values they represent.. (two rings means 100% something, green lock has a percentage ring too)

about 90% red ring

Full ring but radar says too close (the missile killed the target)

two red rings, but radar says target is too far away, the target was destroyed

green ring, 50%

Should we add missile speed, ECCM, etc.?

We've listed the number of G's a missile can pull, which is great. But, should we also include maximum speed (Mach number)? I feel this is relevant, especially comparing (for example) the AIM-9B to the AIM-9E (which has noticeable upgrade in speed). I'd love to see even more stats added if they're relevant. A checkbox for ECCM would be good to distinguish the AIM-9M / missiles with similar features. Thanks!
