R-60M uses the wrong model

[Koty]

R-60M model in DCS is in fact an R-60MK with its prominent Kolibri fuse on the side:

R-60M uses an optical fuse, arranged with cruciform arrangement:

I've looked for pictures of R-60M and MK on the internet and soures differ. Some websites show the all-white missile as an R-60M, and others say it's the one with green sides.

Can you please provide a relevant source?

The letter K in R-60MK and R-60K stand for the Kolibri radio fuse. Problem is that indexing in service was a mess, so most R-60K and MK will just be called R-60 and R-60M, especially with photos found on the net. Main source of confusion is also the fact that the Kolibri-fused missiles are generally regarded as export missiles (as they were the only ones, besides maybe a couple R-60 to Yugoslavia, that were exported), which most people will interpret as "export-only", regarding then all R-60's in Soviet (and descendant-states') service as the "original" R-60 and 60M. In fact both were used in Soviet (and descendant) service, sometimes even on the same aircraft:

Above - Page from Yugoslav MiG-29 manual, shows the paired windows of "optical contact-less (proximity) fuse" under number 8 for original R-60 (main visual difference to R-60M is the heat-resistant glass nose which is no longer transparent in visible light spectrum).

 

This above is the example with white-painted bulges on the sides, I've been unable to confirm the variant, but it might just be a later production of the MK, this example being from Poland.

On this example you can actually see the white paint peeling off.

 

I will also try looking for something more substantial on the matter.

Thanks. That should do it.

Actually, that did not. Devs say it's OK as it is.
