AA missile performance (AMRAAM, SPARROW)

[Martin2487]

Some time ago, was released information that developers are working to improve the performance of air to air missiles. However, since I did not see any news what the progress in this matter. Honestly, the performance of air to air missiles (AMRAMM, SPARROW) is terrible. With the upcoming new capabilities Hornet (datalink, TWS) would be great if we get it improved missile performance :)

Do you have any charts supporting your claim of underperforming missiles?

I can't find it on my phone but there is a lot of research done on these forums in one specific post. The same dude did a few videos on YouTube one of which Ralfi was included on.

 

Edit: found it

Missile are ok from a kinematics point of view. The problem is the interception path to the target is sometimes sub-optimal, so they bleed speed in turns that are not necessary.

 

I think that is the main reason why we see missiles that in straight line are ok, but in real combat use they are rarely useful outside 12 nm.

 

I wonder if until this is better refined we could get a minimum reduction in induced drag.

 

PD: my opinion is based on others research on this forum and all the similar threads we've had im these forums. I have not made any research myself.
