== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was a major improvement over the previous variants of the F-16. The previous Block 42 aircraft weighed 3,000+ lbs (1,360 kgs) over the early F-16s. To offset the increased weight, General Electric developed the F110-GE-129 which greatly increased thrust at both low and high altitudes. The Block 50 also received the Westinghouse APG-68 radar which was much faster and generally more reliable. One of the biggest additions to the Block 50 was the ability to fire AIM-120 AMRAAMs and new ground attack munitions. It could also utilize the AGM-88 HARM which was a dedicated SEAD weapon. The USAF received the first F-16 Block 50 in late 1991 and many more were sent to foreign countries as well.

Introduced in [[Update "Sons of Attila"]], the '''{{Specs|name}}''' is an excellent top-tier aircraft. The improved General Electric F110 greatly increases the performance of the Block 50 against enemy aircraft. It excels in dogfighting thanks to its relatively light airframe and better engine. The Fighting Falcon has access to AIM-9M Sidewinders which have a smokeless motor as well as improved IRCCM which makes them an incredibly dangerous missile, especially from rear aspect. Players should be more than satisfied with the F-16C Block 50 against both aircraft and ground targets.

== Usage in battles ==

''Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Access to AIM-9M missiles
* Large variety of guided ground ordnance
* Better radar than previous F-16
* Has TWS (Track While Scan)
* More hardpoints than early F-16

'''Cons:'''

* Bad top speed manoeuvrability

== History ==

The Block 42 F-16 was very overweight at an astounding 3,000 lb increase over the F-16A/Bs. This was also compounded by the fact that the Block 42 was intended to carry more ordnance and didn't have any significant thrust increase. As a result, the USAF launched the Increased Performance Engine (IPE) program to increase the thrust of the F-16. The Pratt & Whitney F100 and General Electric F110 engines were both redesigned and were much more powerful compared to their predecessors. The F110, found in the Block 50, featured a thirty-percent increase in thrust at low altitudes and a ten-percent increase at higher altitudes. The Block 50 also received the Westinghouse APG-68 radar which had increased reliability and was much faster. The displays in the cockpit were also replaced and an FOV HUD was added. The Block 50 also has access to a multitude of ordnance, and thanks to the improved engine, it can also carry much more. The Block 50 can use the AGM-88 HARM, AIM-120 AMRAAM, new surface target weaponry, SAPHEI rounds (PGU-28), and bombs.

The USAF began receiving the Block 50s in the early 90s and continued receiving them until 2005. After that, F-16 deliveries were exclusively for foreign customers where the F-16 also shined. Further upgrades were done on the Block 50 such as the Block 50 Plus which included more advanced electronics: the radar was improved, a better IFF system was installed, and it could be modified to have conformal fuel tanks (CFT).

== History ==

After seeing advances in western development of short-range IR missiles during the early 1970s, such as the [[AIM-9L Sidewinder|AIM-9L]] (and later the AIM-9M, which entered service one year before the R-73) and their success in combat, primarily the Sidewinder in Middle Eastern conflicts arming Israeli aircraft, and also seeing the shortcomings (primarily range and flare resistance) of their own "Dogfight missiles" in the form of the [[R-60]] and [[R-60M]], the Soviet Union set out to develop and deploy a new class of missile, which would combine the advantages of both the Dogfight missiles such as the [[SRAAM]] and R-60s, while maintaining the advantageous capabilities of contemporary short-range missiles, such as the AIM-9 Sidewinder and [[R-13M]].

Under a directive from the Soviet government, development began in 1973 by Vympel OKB to create a new generation of all-aspect "Kill on sight" missile, called '''''Izdeliye'' 730''' (Project 730). The "Kill on sight" missile was to incorporate the best of both worlds of missile designs, such as the high manoeuvrability and instantaneous "off the rail" tracking of the older dogfight missiles such as the R-60 and R-60M, while also including the reliable range and tracking of short range missile designs like the R-13M and the prototype all-aspect R-14 missile (which would be later cancelled in favour of the R-73). Unfortunately, by design principle, the missile either had to be large with a long burning motor to attain acceptable ranges, or small and lightweight to be manoeuvrable like a dogfight missile at the cost of range. The R-73 would be the first air-to-air missile to use a hybrid control system, utilizing not only thrust vectoring capability to attain high angles of attack and instantaneous manoeuvring, similar to older western projects (AIM-95 and SRAAM, both of which failed), but also utilized more conventional aerodynamic controls through fins and destabilizers to retain control even after the motor shuts down. This design allowed the missile to not only retain its "Dogfight missile" manoeuvrability (even improving it over older designs like the R-60M), but also allowed it to be larger in size, enough to fit more fuel and a stronger motor to attain similar ranges to contemporary missiles of the time, such as the AIM-9L. The second aspect of the "Kill on sight" missile doctrine was the helmet-mounted targeting system, which was developed in parallel to the R-73. This system would allow the missile's seeker to be targeted at "High off-boresight" without having to manoeuvre the aircraft to position the target inside the missile's seeker, providing a massive advantage in a dogfight over contemporary missiles. Almost an entire decade of development later, Project 730 would finally be completed in 1982, entering trials almost immediately as the R-73 missile.<ref>Gordon, Yefim. ''Soviet/Russian Aircraft Weapons Since World War Two,'' Midland Publishing, 2004.</ref>

[[File:Inert R-73.jpg|alt=Close-up image of an R-73 missile mounted on the outer pylon (Station 4) of a upgraded MiG-21 prototype demonstrator, on static ground display during the 1999 MAKS airshow. There is a R-77 visible on the inner pylon (Station 3)|thumb|R-73 Missile on display at MAKS 1999]]
After trials, the missile would enter service in 1984, and receive the NATO reporting name AA-11 ''Archer'', and shortly after, a export variant (R-73E) would be produced and sold to most allies of the USSR operating their new [[MiG-29]] fighters. The R-73 would go on to become a staple of Soviet (and later Russian) missile design, with the USSR and later the Russian Federation upgrading it into many new variants to modify and/or improve its performance, starting with the R-73L and ending most recently with the R-74M1.

In 1990, when Germany was re-unified, the Luftwaffe found itself with a lot of leftover ex-[[MiG-29 (Germany)|East German MiG-29]] aircraft, and alongside them, their stockpiles of R-73 missiles. In 1994, a dissimilar air combat training between USAF [[F-16A]]<nowiki/>s of the 510th Fighter Squadron and Luftwaffe MiG-29s took place in a NATO airbase in Aviano, Italy. After an overwhelming victory from the German MiG-29s, utilizing the R-73 and their helmet-cued targeting, the USA and the rest of the NATO countries realized that they had underestimated the R-73's capabilities, and found that it had better manoeuvrability, tracking, and seeker acquisition than the contemporary NATO missiles at the time (AIM-9L and AIM-9M)<ref>Menon, KB., ''Evolution of the Air-To-Air Missiles: Options for the IAF", IDR Publishing, 2012''</ref>, which prompted the US and NATO countries to develop their own advanced contemporaries, namely the AIM-9X, AIM-132 ASRAAM, IRIS-T, and the MICA Infrarouge.

AS.34 Kormoran

2023-08-21T10:32:13Z

U125033092:

== Description ==
[[File:AS.34 Kormoran Blueprint.png|thumb|left|500px|The AS.34 Kormoran missile]]
{{Break}}
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a German anti-ship missile. It was introduced in [[Update "Apex Predators"]].

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


* {{Specs-Link|tornado_ids_de_mfg}}

== General info ==

The AS.34 Kormoran is a German-designed and -produced anti-ship missile, which was primarily designed to target and destroy enemy ships and other water-borne targets, though it also comes with limited ground-attack capability. It was designed to be carried by the [[F-104G (Germany)|F-104G Starfighter]] and [[Tornado IDS (Germany)|Tornado IDS Marineflieger]] aircraft (though in-game currently only on the Tornado).

The missile is designed as a fire-and-forget missile, which relies on an inertial navigation system (INS) in the initial phase directly after launch and active radar-homing (ARH) in the terminal phase. This means that in a real-world scenario, the pilot selects an acquired target on radar or visually points the missile at the intended target, after which the missile is launched and then autonomously guides itself onto the target.

The missile has a complex semi-armour piercing high-explosive warhead with a main charge and 16 additional shaped charges. The missile is designed to penetrate several bulkheads of a ship just above the waterline and then explode deep inside the ship for maximum damage in all directions.

=== Effective damage ===

While possessing armour-piercing capabilities the missile truly does its damage through pure high explosive power. With 73.36 kg of TNTeq explosive force, the missile is more than capable of taking out lightly-armoured vehicles even with a hit to the ground close to the vehicle, as well as taking out better-armoured vehicles with a direct hit.

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of missiles that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe situations when you would utilise this missile in-game (vehicle, pillbox, base, etc.)''

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Stand-off anti-ship missile provides capability to attack without risk of accurate return fire

'''Cons:'''

* Multiple missile attacks may be required to sink targeted ship
* Missile is rather slow, allowing targeted ship to perform maneuvers to dodge the missile
* During a side-on attack, the missile's top-down attack trajectory means it can hit the top of the targeted ship's funnels first, minimizing the amount of damage it can inflict and potentially spoiling a shot

== History ==


The AS.34 Kormoran was the first major post-war missile project in West Germany.<ref name=":0">An Illustrated Guide to Modern Airborne Missiles, Bill Gunston, 1983.</ref> It was designed to meet the needs of the West German navy for a large anti-ship missile for use in coastal waters.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070813022441/http://www.missilethreat.com/cruise/id.12/cruise_detail.asp</ref> Development began in 1962 and was handed over to West German aerospace manufacturer Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB) in 1967. It wouldn't be until 1973 before the West German government decided to actually produce the missile and, after completing its trials in 1974, it finally entered into service with the West German Navy in 1977.<ref name=":1">http://www.military-today.com/missiles/kormoran.htm</ref>

The missile was originally based on a design by French Nord-Aviation, the makers of the [[AS-20 Nord]], [[AS-30 Nord]] and [[AS-30L Nord]] missiles, using the inertial guidance system from their cancelled AS.33 missile project.<ref>Jane's Strategic Weapons Systems, September 1997, JSWS-Issue 25</ref> After taking over the project, MBB replaced the inertial guidance system with a new and more advanced missile guidance package. The missile body is very similar to the aforementioned missiles made by Nord-Aviation, with a 4.40 m long fuselage, a narrow cross-section of 0.34 m, and a sharp-pointed conical nose. On the sides of the fuselage sit four swept delta fins, just behind of the centre of the missile body, and a set of four smaller trapezoidal stabilizer fins between the delta fins and the tail.<ref name=":1" />

The missile guidance system is made up of an SFENA/Bodenseewerk inertial navigation system (INS), a TRT radio altimeter as well as a Thomson-CSF two-axis radar seeker. The propulsion system consists of two Prades solid rocket boosters and a central Eole IV solid rocket sustainer motor. Immediately after launch, the rocket boosters fire for 1 second before the sustainer motor fires and sustains flight for an additional 100 seconds before shutting off, allowing the missile a cruising speed of Mach 0.9 and an effective range of 23 km.<ref name=":0" />

The warhead is a complex delayed-fuse high-explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) munition, that is designed to be able to penetrate a total of 90 mm of armour, typically the hull plates of a ship, before exploding deep inside the target. The warhead weighs 165 kg and consists of 16 elliptical charges mounted radially in two rows, which project zirconium fragments at sufficient speeds for them to penetrate up to seven bulkheads inside the ship and cause severe damage to ammunition stores and critical systems.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref>https://patents.google.com/patent/DE3701390A1/en</ref><ref name=":2">https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/1977/august/weapon-systems</ref>
[[File:Tornado Luftwaffe feuert Kormoran.jpeg|thumb|A German Marine (Navy, Naval Air Wing 2) Panavia Tornado IDS launches a Kormoran air-to-surface missile during an exercise in the USA.]]
The missile is designed to be used against larger surface vessels, which allows the attacking aircraft to acquire the target, launch the missile and fly to safety before the target vessel is able to target and shoot it down.<ref name=":2" /> Once the missile is launched, the INS and radio altimeter guide the missile to descend to a typical cruising altitude of less than 30 m and make its way toward the target vessel's last known position. Upon final approach, the radar seeker head searches for the target and locks on before descending to around wavetop height, guiding the missile to the current position of the ship and aiming to strike the ship just above the waterline.<ref name=":0" />

The missile is able to be fired by any combat aircraft that has target acquisition radar, a self-contained navigation system, and which is capable of maintaining speeds of a minimum of Mach 0.6 during launch.<ref name=":2" /> Despite a previously aggressive marketing campaign by MBB, to date only Germany and Italy have purchased the missile.<ref name=":1" /> The first aircraft to be equipped to carry and launch the AS.34 Kormoran was the now-retired [[F-104G (Germany)|F-104G Starfighters]] of the Marineflieger, the air wing of the West German navy. Later also the [[Tornado IDS (Germany)|Tornado IDS]] of the German Marineflieger and Italian Aeronautica Militare were equipped with the missile and remain the only aircraft able to carry it to this day.<ref name=":1" />

The missile has never been used in a live combat situation but remains in storage with the German and Italian air forces for use with their remaining fleets of Tornado IDS aircraft. While the AS.34 Kormoran, and its later upgrade the AS.34 Kormoran 2, are still capable missiles in their own right, the changes in naval warfare with the advent of modern close-in weapon systems (CIWS) and ability to defeat attacking aircraft at long range, have made the missiles largely obsolete due to their fairly limited range.<ref name=":1" />

Python 3

2023-08-18T08:25:02Z

U125033092: I just added a two points to Pros and Cons. I wanna change more later tho

== Description ==
The '''Python 3''' is an Israeli heatseeking missile, being a further development of the [[Shafrir 2]]. Produced by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, it was much improved and has seen widespread service. Notably in the 1982 Lebanon war, it performed very well, gaining between 35-50 kills to its name. The PLAAF was also enthused with it, liscensing it as the [[PL-8]].

The Python 3 was introduced in [[Update "La Royale"]], and comfortably sits as one of, if not the best short range IR missile. Compared to the [[AIM-9L]] and [[R-60M]], it is faster and at 40Gs, pulls much harder than both. It has better range than the R-60M, and in most cases the AIM-9L, although in theory at high altitude the AIM-9L will outrange it. It works well being shot at strange angles that enemies will not expect, to avoid being flared away.
