What is wrong with AIM-7?

It has significant launch failure rate in 1991, when some F-15C in combat with MiG-29 wasn't able to properly apply 1/2 or even 3/4 of its missiles.

Again, very basic metric. Tells you nothing about for how long it can hold that power level and in what conditions.

The APG-63 radar was more advanced than the N001 in every respect. It had a more advanced antenna with lower sidelobes, a better signal-to-noise ratio, and better digital processing.
The Soviet Tikhomirov Research Institute used the APG-63 data as a specification for the development of the "Mech" radar. However, they failed to fully complete the task, and as a result, they had to create a radar based on the N019 from the MiG-29, scaling it up.

Apparently I do know it very well, as we're not comparing who was first in terms of a singular (or few) systems, but rather how expansive it was, and how well i corporated. We already derailed from a thread on SPO-15, so let's not hijack it further, but do know that SAGE was a system meant to synthesize a large amount of data from a multitude of sensors (radars) and project it on a general map of the world. That data still had to be verbally transferred to the pilots. It's strength lie in the collection of all data, supposed easy to read translation as well as automation with ground SAM sites. Soviets' however, took that a step further and integrated such automation on their planes. This was done in secrecy pre MiG-21 era. (Let's also not forget, that the radar, was a British invention, same as e.g. the jet engine).

You're mistaken. Interception control involved displaying control markers on the aircraft's instruments. In other words, the pilot was shown where to fly and when to turn on the radar using an indication.
Exactly the same as was later done in the USSR, including on the MiG-29.

All missiles in the world have a certain percentage of launch failures.

As ED has said, it is not up to the same standard as their newest R-27R/ER release in tens of seeker. But I don’t think it should be that hard since it already has all the advanced FM stuff done

How many of them have documented in-combat cases?

So, as for now in DCS we have failure-proof weapons. Same for most of RWR. But not for one specific version.

I hope so

I think you are wrong.

I have enough technical literature to make a statement. I don't make unfounded statements, unlike you.

First, nobody here is interested who thinks what. Only facts are appreciated.

Second, you didn't read my original post about balance. I wrote not about gameplay balance but simulation consistency putting all units in same level of application of physical laws.

Third. I never saw any real technical input from you regarding SPO. I posted an excerpt from one Soviet document citing that it works, you posted an excerpt from other Soviet document citing that it doesn't. Both claims are in words not in math and so don't matter. If you have information proving HOW it doesn't work as intended - please go ahead. 

Fourth. Intercept system for F-102 F-106 is very different from what Soviets ever did, it just has different task and function and overall phylosophy. As for GCI overall, its origin lies in Battle of Britain and it was never a secret for any state. Everybody knew it's needed, everybody developed it, it's not a big deal at all.

It was 2 vs 2 and 1 vs 1 encounters of F-15C and MiG-25PD. In 1 vs 1 both F-15C and MiG each launched all 4 medium ranged missiles at each other with no result. All AIM-7 malfunctioned or missed and all R-40 missed or MiG had to break lock to evade.
