WIP: Mig-23
-
there is Flogger AFM by Maverick…but I did not test it yet (dont know how the variable geometry wings are solved in FM)…
-
I am happy with current OFM FM. Mig-23 ML is fast but not good maneuvering AC.
Perhaps AA-7/7R are a little bit to under powered ATM. AA-7 are technically heavy Missiles with large solid rocket motor. Perhaps their sensors was not so effective but speed and range are not so bad. -

- R-24R had about 15% worse specific impulse, R-23R had 30%.
- R-23/24 had much larger diameter which means larger cross section. (25% bigger cross section.) Even if both AIM-7 & R-23/24 have the same Cd at the same speed the drag force would be much larger for R-23/24.
- R-23/24 did not have dual thrust rocket motor while AIM-7F/M had.
Spec. imp and weight data of Soviet AAMs are here.

http://www.alternatewars.com/SAC/Comparsion with BMS4.33. R-27R is better than R-23/R-24 was and even that is inferior. I can make a test if you wish also with these. (I have to check how updated BMS Team the FM of R-23).

R-24 63 kgsec/kg (directly from the source)
AIM-7F ~70 kg*sec/kg (calculated from data)
