Cytarabine Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I must say the AIM-7 seems much more useful now (I particularly like the Cold War scenarios taking Fox 1’s over Fox 3’s for a bit of a challenge) and now I find the Sparrow substantially more useful. I can send a first missile at range in loft (which seems to arrive with some reasonable kinetic energy) crank and then fire my second and subsequent shots closer in normal where they clean up. Makes them more useful up closer similar to the 530D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remi Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Yeah the normal behavior is really important for improving combat outcomes. There is still a weird graphical delay/lag after pressing the "NORM" flight profile that isn't present when selecting other options on other missiles. Not a big deal as long as it works.

Schmidtfire Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 What do you guys make of the LOFT profile? Looks like AIM-7 is lofting very steep and aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svend_Dellepude Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I think the LOFT needs some final implementation. But for now, just pitch up before launch to help it climb and bleed less energy in the climb.

Eldur Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 There are subsequent AIM-7 shots after the second one? I mean, if you don't want to fly an A-10 with afterburner capability sans the gun... I always used them since the Hornet is here and never thought they're that bad. But I always opted for late shots at ~6nm range, though I had some good ones already at 10+ as well and even one or two above 20nm that I thought would never hit.
