@@TeamValkyrie2023 what BR do you think the F-14 is?

[@kaidestructor7350]

The Sedjil and Fakour-90 have both the HAWK SAM engine. It has about 100KN of thrust. It will accelerate much quicker than AIM-54.

[@BKening]

Not only it will accelerate as Flash just in 5 sec, it will MAINTAIN that speed for 21s because of sustainer. Techincaly it will have speed more than AIM-54 after 30s fly right after launch in literally 6 sec

[@kaidestructor7350]

@@BKening Yes, IMO, it willl be way better than AIM-54 at being a Fox 3, but probably will preffer AIM-54 for tossing them. Sedjil may be fun to use at very close ranges, but will probably be way worse than R-27R at that.

[@JamalWitherSpoon]

Fakour 90 and Sedjil have less top speed, not by much. But they have a powerful booster and sustainer, so they accelerate and maintain their top speed. According to the hidden stats.

Has a ~25 second sustainer as well so it will maintain that speed for about 30 seconds

@@reinni2968 I have already seen a comparison with the AIM-120B and over a distance of 50 km, the Fakour-90 rocket reached the target by 15-20 seconds faster. This rocket simply reaches its maximum speed faster and therefore hits the target faster than other rockets.

[@KAPIX97]

@@reinni2968 But why do you need a longer range in general, if what matters is which rocket will reach the target faster at the beginning of the battle. This missile is the Fakour-90

[@TheSpartan227]

​@@reinni2968 All false, the Fakour has no issue hitting 40km away targets at *sea level* . People have been testing it already, it retains its energy extremely well, way better than the phoenix (being much heavier actually helps). Exemple of test done comparing *terminal velocity* : 60km @9k meters. Fakour-90: M2.82, Aim-54C: M2.04, Aim-120B: M1.88. Currently it is the best (long range)BVR missile hands down. It's not very maneuverable but it will surprise people on how fast it is on you, just like the R-27ER. Comparing stat cards alone for these top tier weapons only shows half of the picture.

[@TheSpartan227]

​@@reinni2968 Bro wtf are you saying... Mass has 0 effect on drag...drag is air resistance, it depends on the speed and shape (surface area) of the object. Heavier object are less affected by drag. That is basic physics. The fakour-90 has the exact same shape(Surface area) of the aim54 but 200kg heavier. Inertia makes heavy object harder to move OR stop. Literally do a 2sec google search with (inertia + mass + velocity). All the tests I've talked about are on the WT forum, easy to find.

That thing accelerates like a R-27ER, even faster I think. Currently the best long range missile, it destroys the phoenix. Stats cards alone are not a good method to compare top tier weapons, only show half of the picture. One of the main issues of the aim-54 is that it is basically useless at wvr engagements(especially around 10km and under) because of how slow it accelerates, the fakour-90 fixes that. Only needs 5sec of burn time to reach its full speed, while the phoenix needs 30sec.
