I don't know, this one's a toss up for me, what with the helment site of the Archer.......
I think I'm going to hold off my vote until I hear both sides of the issue

That was a hard choice to make, both great missiles. But I had to give to the archer, it came before the X. Well BiG I am not sure exacly how it works, but the helmet *thingie* is suppost to I belive work with the AA-11 wide range of engament. So that the pilot doesn't have to have his hud (and plane) focused on the target but just keep the bogie in his sights. If I am not misteken he AA-11 has a 60 degree or so (maybe ^ or V) angle of engament from the nose of the carrier aircraft. |

AIM-9X has a 90 deg FOV and can me used with a HMS also. It has a bigger warhead than the AA-11 and is IIR guided so flares don't matter at all. The AIM-9X while it has a range out to about 10nm can actually go 10nm. There is some question as to whether or not the AA-11 can engage targets at 20 or 30km because of the quality of the seeker glass (very poor cites acig.org). The AA-11 while it has a 60 deg FOV and HMS has a much weaker warhead and is actually flare hungry (acig.org). AIM-9X is faster and a lot more powerful and agile now that it has thrust vector. AIM-9X now that it is in service is the worlds' most advanced, powerful, and best dogfight missile. It beats the Python 4, the previous holder of that title. |

There's some contestation as to whether it can track anything past 20 km because of the seeker quality...hell even to the range of the AIM-9X there is some question. |

Aim9X is one generation ahead, would be pathetic if it wasnt better. |

In my opinion the order from good to better: Matra Magic II and PL-8 AIM-9M R-73E RDM1 Python 4 AIM-132A ASRAAM AIM-9X But some of these are very close in overall capabilities, with some advantages and some disadvantages. Somewhere in there goes the Python 5 (in development) and IRIS-T. Zephyr |

Until the AIM-9X came out the AIM-9M-9 was the most advanced ECCM dogfight missile in the world. Talk about a duesy! |
