Retargetting AAMs? o_o

[unmerged(162180)]

In a middle of fierce air combat one of my F-35s has spammed Sukhoi with a lot of AMRAAMs firing them one after another like a machine gun.
After first missiles have killed their target others simply turned 90 degrees and engaged another!
Wow, THAT is an advanced guidance tech!

In fact I'am not sure if it is an issue. AFAIK midair retargetting is actually implemented on Russian R-33 and R-37 long range missiles (without ability to turn 90 degrees without loosing energy ). So, maybe in 2030 all AAMs are so advanced that they can seek for new target.

BTW, is there MiG-31 in the game?
I'am haven't got too far yet.

Hello,

As it is now, in the game all missiles can retarget. We have on good authority that Amraams can't do that, but I am not sure this capability will not be added by 2030.

No Mig-31, alas. It is probably a bit too old for a game taking place in 2030, even though it is a very fine aircraft. Of Russian fighters we have MiG-29K,
Su-27SM, Su-35, Sukhoi T-50A and Sukhoi T-50K. Pretty badass

In fact I'am pretty sure that in 2030 there will be some MiG-31s around. They stopped production but whole fleet of Foxhounds is now being upgraded to MiG-31BM standard with complete airframe overhaul and equipment upgrade. There still approx 250 of them active. Considering different budget cuts and other loses a hunded or so BMs might live to 2030

Anyway, may be I'll make an addon later when game matures a bit
