AIM-9L Question

[FalconC45 162]

Two days ago I downloaded Ravenclaw's awesome weapon pack (didn't get the updated version yet) and I have a question about the AIM-9L's warhead. I engaged a MiG-23 which absorbed multiple hits from me and my flight using the Sidewinder. My fourth and final missile killed the MiG from a dead 6 shot. Is this correct warhead for the 9L or is the 23 variant I engaged over armored?

I just checked the missile and it seems to be correct, 9.4 Kg of explosives and that are high explosives.

Or you had a just miss aka close but not a hit or the Mig was lucky.

I did not check the Migs armor, but the missile is correct me thinks.

 

My best regards, Kodiak.

Check the fusing distance

[Kodiak 27]

Fusing distance is also okay 0.5000000

I see no wrong in this missile sir.

this is a game issue and not the missile

i've never seen it before , but when i installed the latest patch this issue appeared

it looks like TK implemented it in the latest patch and it happens with all types of missiles even with the AIM-120C4

Ahhh OK. So its a game issue. Thx!

I mentioned this before. Since the NOV patch AAM's have lost alot of their edge. As teras said I am getting AMRAAMS decoyed of with chaff bloom.
