Decibel dB Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hello gent's I'm trying to get information on the missiles choice we have on the F5. We have 4 choices AIM 9P, AIM 9P5, CAP 9M and GAR 8, my understanding is they are all IR missile and that's about it. What they are good at and wish one should I choose? o7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterH Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 They are all IR guided missiles. CAP 9M is a captive training round, it won't fire. GAR-8 is AIM-9B, pretty much the first operational version of Sidewinder, and is utter crap against any evasive target :). It is rear aspect only, meaning rhe missile seeker needs ro be looking right into the target's jet nozzle(s). AIM-9P is also rear aspect but is a much more capable missile. P5 version is the same missile but with a more modern seeker head that allow for all aspect capability.

Kev2go Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That will explain why some time I could shoot, Thanks a lot o7 so in short the Aim9P5 is the most capable of the missiles available for the F5, and you should stick to using that unless you want a challenge and intentionally go with the earlier gen heat seekers.

Dino Might Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 GAR-8 = Guns Are superioR - sideways infinity. Seriously, don't use it unless you really want a headache, or to go full-period 'Nam era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
