With the 2.9 update there were changes to Aim-9 and R-13 missiles.

R-13M1 and Aim-9P-5 are very similar missiles in terms of kinematics. They have a similar shape, and the impulse per weight is also quite close.

R-13M1: 66.15 kg*s/kg

Aim-9P-5: 69.60 kg*s/kg

Yet that Aim-9 reaches significantly more speed, while the R-13 also slows down much quicker.

Following graph shows R-13M1 (incorrectly labeled as R-3) and Aim-9P-5 when launched under same conditions:

I suspect that something is not right regarding the drag.

I will say that the drag and motor performance of the R-13M1 is different compared to the AIM-9Ps. I suspect they did make the R-3s managed by ED but the R-3s/R-13s still retain their old qualities. I have previously reported on the Mag 3 bug reporter that their missiles perform significantly differently compared to their ED counterparts. I hope an overhaul comes soon and hopefully that will come with new 3D models.

We will investigate. Looks like R-13 drag issue.

All mig21 aa missiles besides r55 were changed in 2.9. R13Ms too, their engine, seeker parameters and i think drag coefs too.
