R60's are terrible compared to AIM9's

does not track well at all

[florble mcfumperdink]

It's because of the field of view that the actual seeker head has. All of the AiM-9 Sidewinders from the B to the J have a 2 or 2.5 degree FOV, the Soviet R-model missiles have a 5.5 degree FOV, which is large enough for flares to have a significant effect and also for the missile to sail off after friendly aircraft, ground heat, or the sun.

R60 are just a throw away weapon for me, the mainstay is the MGs

have you seen a aim9? it will track something that isn't there.
