Now I understand. Russ flys the F18. He shot me down this afternoon using an AIM9x. So the answer is YES to the 9x. The concept is to get up close in RED or Blue's six. So I expect all close range missiles to be available for a particular airframe. If one missile is better than another, then combat tactics will play an important part.

Blue has nominated a coalition lead. Red need to nominate too. Choose wisely.
