Reading the patch notes, it seems a few missiles were updated with new flight dynamics. I decided to test them starting with the R-33. The FM has certainly changed as the missile has believable energy bleed in turns, but the overall speed and range seem lacking for a Phoenix like missile. The AI only seems to launch at 25-30 miles under standard conditions (head on, Mach 1+, ~35000 ft) and the missile doesn't even reach R-27ER speeds. I tried to get the AI to launch from altitude at extreme speed, but it stubbornly descends before launching a missile. I'll have to try a few more things to see if I can get the AI to fire high. Is this the final model for the R-33? I expected it to outrange AMRAAM, but it's the other way around. Even with 120B's I can defeat the R-33 from a disadvantageous position.

R-33 ballistics is correct(yes, it's slightly worse than R-27ER). R-33 outclassed by R-40 because R-40 overperformed and requires adjustment.

А где доказательства правильности?
