- ― Weapon Description
The AIM-9E is a rear-aspect heat-seeking missile available to the AV-42C, F/A-26B, T-55 and EF-24G.
Unlike the standard AIM-9 missile, the AIM-9E features an older seeker which can only achieve lock from the rear of an aircraft. The IR seeker is fixed to the front and cannot be moved unless a lock has already been achieved on a target. Additionally, the AIM-9E can only be fired in Uncaged mode and uses a double action release function, once you hear a tone, a pull of the trigger focuses the IR seeker onto your target, finally press the weapon select button to release the missile.
