Has anybody tried their hand on creating a realistic BVR missile in SimplePlanes?

By realistic BVR Missiles I mean the ones that don't break lock, doesn't just have thrust all the way that it just slams into the target at Mach 5 or something, doesn't become useless when it runs out of fuel, and has drag and loses energy when maneuvering to its target and that makes BVR defending maneuvers possible?

Came across this post a few days ago: https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1535927/AI-and-Countermeasure-is-some-bs and also this: https://www.simpleplanes.com/Forums/View/1979823/IRCCM-missiles-a-rant
And I thought: BVR will be real and fun? Lessgo!!!!! But I don't see anyone make a realistic BVR missile in SP yet.
Tried my hand on it earlier, but I'm curious to know: Did anyone else tried to do it? And how did it go?

    The only thing you can achieve the realistic bvr in sp, is range. Everything else is goofy. I just hope SP2 has reworked combat physics

    me nd catbaron made a very jank aim54 quite a few years back that needed you to fire two missiles for it to work..... it was interesting and i even made it loft though it would almost always turn away at the very last second
