Python 5 is said to have 100 degree off-boresight aquisition, and

ASRAAM does have LOAL, and it's off boresight is 90 degrees. How much
difference the extra 10 degrees would make is not something I could
estimate,


Not a lot, I would imagine. With 90 degrees, the pilot only has to
get which half of the sky the target is in.
