Of course it cannot use any AAM but in these violation of NO FLY ZONE this was not the point.ĥ. The misses by USN were caused by simply missiles were launched outside of NEZ and very fast and high flying MiG-25 easily can collapse or your DLZ. The missile kinematics is actually under modeled and also the loft capability is weaker with stock aim54.datģ. In BMS currently all ARH is immune to chaff or any EW activity. I also believe there is a reason the military never tried to adapt it to any other aircraft.ĭoes anyone else have an opinion on this, and is there a way to fix my perceived problem?ġ. I beileve there was a reason for it’s retirement. I can’t imagine a poorly trained airforce with little maintenace capability and no support from the US or Hughes/Raytheon could have more success with it than the USN. The Iranians claim several kills with the missile, but any claims by the IAF are never trustworthy. Most sources only claim 3 launches in USN service and no hits. In RL the missile was only fired in anger by the USN a few times and with extremely poor results. Avoidance in difficult and the missile succeeds quite often. Doing dogfights against F-14s the AIM-54 is very effective and hard to beat. Could be wrong, bus as far as i cant tell in BMS the AIM-54 Phoenix is vastly overpowered.
