reported earlier Chaparral missile MIM 72G is considerably underperforming

[Mad_Shell]

The MIM 72G missile (derived from the AIM-9D) used in the Chaparral SAM seems to be considerably underperforming:

- in DCS it has no proximity fuse, contrary to IRL.

- its acceleration and maneuvrability are very poor. It can't even turn fast enough to follow a plane flying at 1000m when fired almost vertically. Compare in game maneuverability with this video: https://youtu.be/WNmdB97-oBk?t=86 

 

Here are 2 tracks showing Chaparral needing to use a large number of missiles to shoot down a non maneuvering, non flaring M2000-C at 1000m altitude.
