Crusader

You came up short on proper armament huh

Quoting the size-offending text a few times is kinda.. snowball-effect ya know

I'm working on updating the AIM-9 (and other types) in the game. Started already back in 2018. First release will be using stock 3d, a 2nd release with (hopefully) as many accurate 3d as possible later on. This update/mod will change the way the player has to employ the missile. Accurate aiming (pulling the sight/aiming mark/reticle directly on the target) is required to get a seeker lock-on. Until now, it is easy to get a lock-on because the missile seekers are set up by default to act as a "super-seeker", covering the full seeker gimbal angles. With that removed, its more fun/challenging to fight with IR missiles and it also makes more sense to actually use the radar for targeting. That works (seeker slaved to radar) only with few AIM-9 types, the 9L, 9M, 9P-5, 9JULI and the 9X. The AIM-4D also has this function and the French Magic 2. To be continued..

Epic

AIM-9L series AIM-9L, 1978+ USAF and export, all-aspect seeker, still poor vs IR flares, SEAM-capable AIM-9L-1, 1978+ USN variant of 9L AIM-9L(EUR), ~1981+ Euro-Consortium produced 9L, wide NATO service AIM-9L/I, ~1988 (perhaps a bit earlier) EUR Improved IRCCM, several NATO users, final version for Lw AIM-9L/I-1, ~1993 (guessed, possibly later) EUR Improved again IRCCM, said to be the equivalent of US 9M-8/9 (1995), some NATO users (Italy) AIM-9JULI, ~1993 upgrade for SR116 motor 9J/N/P missiles which replaces the old GCU with the 9L/I GCU (JULI = Juliet(series) Upgrade to Lima Improved) Known users: Spain... AIM-9L Genetic, ~1984-86 (guessed) possibly UK IRCCM mod, similar to what they've done to their 9G SWIFT To be continued...

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt !!! With radar, range 2000 ft / 600 m

Sparrow F / F / P, intentions... AIM-7F, 1976+ improved with new 2-stage motor and seeker. There were several sub-variants (perhaps optional SF mod) AIM-7M, 1982+ new monopulse-seeker variant AIM-7M-F1, ~1984+ further upgrades to the autopilot software / ECCM AIM-7M-H, 1987+ again software upgrade, better ECCM and other improvements AIM-7P, 1994, USN (later export, e.g. Spain) low-altitude and ECCM improvements AIM-7P-2, 1998, USN, last fielded version, low-altitude and ECCM improvements To be continued...

From F-100 Combat Film thread by Robert L. Ward Screencaps of the real sight in A-G guns

Yep, they used K-14 (UK GGS) type reticle. The closed (also broken) circle can be blanked out leaving only the + mark. The circle is used for aim-off in the bombing mode (and in the caged sight mode), the diamonds reticle for rocket mode. I have made a improved Hunter sight of that type some time ago, based on some UK manual or doc. The A-4 sight in the F-100 has a 10-diamonds reticle, have made one as well , update for the F-86's and the F-100 too. Already in Dec. 2012 F-100D.7z F-100D_64.7z F-100D_68.7z
