@SilentHunter47 The Falcon family of missiles were never intended to be used in a dogfight situations. They were the primary and secondary armament for Interceptors for use against bombers. The performance of the Falcon when used in the environment it was designed for was highly successful as proven at Tyndall AFB in William Tell Comp. Without having first hand information I would bet that the radar Falcons would out perform the Sidewinder on a high altitude front snap up intercept on a bomber.

"""typical early F-4 Phantom missions""" Pilot: "firing AIM-4" Navigator: "uuhh.. the missile is still on the rail sir." Pilot: "firing second AIM-4" (missile drops off rail, motor doesn't activate). Pilot: "for fuck's sakes why doesn't jet have a god damn gun!" lol

@BlacktailFA Weren't the Falcons modified to extend the seeker head time using Argon?

Yeah, but it's got Falcon in the name. And when it's in the name, Falcon punch is the game XD

The AIM-4 Falcon was an awkward missile to use. Compared to even 1st-generation AIM-9 Sidewinders, it had sh***y homing intelligence, poor accuracy, a low top speed, and a short range.
There was also an IR-Homing version of the Falcon, and it was especially tricky.
The pilot had to be DAMNED sure he had to shoot, before he opened the seeker heads. Once he did, the liquid Nitrogen would start boiling off, and once it started it couldn't be stopped; the seeker would go blind in a about a minute!
