!! Database Differences between AIM-9M/X and Python 4/5
-
Hi – Can someone give a quick summary, based on database parameters, on if/why it might be advantageous to use Python variants over the AIM-9 variants?
-
Hi, look at the BMS-Threat-Guide pages 32-33-34, you should find your answer.
EDIT : Basicaly
- AIM-9X and Python 5 are almost identical, very minor differencies in favor of the Python 5 (+5 sec in IR seeker autonomy and +5 nm in IR seeker range)
- AIM-9M and Python 4 are comparable, Python 4 being better mainly with guimbal limit à 90° (compared to 40° for AIM-9M)

@CheckPoint Thanks!
-
@CheckPoint Does python 5 really fly back to the target on BMS? DCS does simulate that quite well. Any thoughts?
-
@zamcesarc I’ve seen the YouTube videos of tests of DCS Python 5 also. Quite impressive. 180-degrees turn to rearward from the launching plane when launched right at the merge, and further turning on the maneuvering target.

@zamcesarc Never tried

DCS Python 5 is Fake,
The missile is highly classified, anything there is based on rumors
We are using something that works (AIM9X as base) and allowed better FOV due to the python seeker structure, some other changes has been made of course as Checkpoint said -
