Air-to-Air BVR Duel, 1995

This series of Quick Battles is intended to serve as a laboratory to examine how technology, tactics, and doctrine affect Beyond Visual Range (BVR) fighter-versus-fighter combat in CMO.

This plane set represents the AMRAAM era- the years immediately after the end of the Cold War. The US-designed AIM-120 AMRAAM active radar homing missile partially solves the ‘SARH chicken’ problem and should give an advantage to fighters so-equipped. The AIM-7 and other SARH types are still included as a loadout option, where applicable, so one can test the difference in performance.
