Quick HARM question
-
anybody experiencing 2nd Harm shot repeatedly missing?
-
So wait, in 4.33, will you POS shots miss if the radar is not emitting? My memory from 4.32 is that it would hit regardless.

Yes it will miss

Yes in 4.33 the HARM is more likely (but NOT always) to not hit in POS mode (and I think also in any other mode actually, but NOT 100% sure) if the emitter turned off its radar while the HARM is in the air.
That’s the least we could do to improve HARM “magic” hits on emitters that aren’t emitting. In RL radar operators are smarter and it’s harder to get a kill with a HARM. -
Thanks chaps. I will give a few of the aforementioned tactics a go and feedback. At least i know that im not approaching it wrong.
At the end if the day i suppose i could choose an alternate ordinance but wanted to conquer the HARM challenge.

HARM is so much 4.32
Against static SAM sites I usually load up 8 SDBs and wing tanks and build my flight route in the UI so I will pass through groups of SAMs. Then I’m marking all those SAM radars as target STPTs in the DTC. If I’m lucky and flying the mission right I usually manage to destroy ~12-16 SAM FCRs.
On a side note (but important) - Now that in 4.33 wingman is smart enough to fire only 1 missile (in the past of Falcon history and 4.32 included, he used to fire 2 no matter what) when commanded to “Attack my target”, you can direct him to release a single SDB on the SAM radar only, this way he becomes as efficient as a human can be to kill SAMs FCRs, hence the theory of 16 FCRs in a single mission.
Are you sure that SDB is not too good? If thats that good in real life it will make sam’s obsolete
Maybe AAA and sam’s should have option to target those
Harms was holy weapon in 4.32 and now we have SDB in 4.33 and F-16 can carry lots of those. Im sure that it wont hit 100% in RL
I don’t meant to sound rude but i fear that All these 100% accuracy weapons will get BMS closer to hawk X than sim.
I really hope that im wrong

I would rather say intel is god like, not SDBs. SDBs are guided onto stpt coordinates, but SAMs in BMS are way too static. Like what Serbian did in Kosovo war, your SDBs will miss a lot.

No it’s not too good, because I made it similar to published RL characteristics.
The fact that there are no Anti-weapon systems in BMS doesn’t mean that we can’t model advanced munitions.
You want a SAM challenge, you can add mobile SAMs to existing campaigns, or you can fly ITO
I agree that static SAMs in BMS are too static, but I don’t think intel is too accurate, not in the 2000 era, come on guys, in an era that you can see your home with GE in resolution of a photo, do you seriously think that army satellites and other assets can’t build the war picture??

In the desert, yes. In the mountain forest, not as much?

Yes , i agree 90%
But no weapon is 100% accuracy , not even GPS but thats not only falcon problem.
Intel is fine in 2000+
But i always think that falcon is best at early 90’s , what time frame orginal falcon 4 simulated? 90’s ?
BMS is 2000- current day ? Right ?
Im overall happy with BMS , no hard feelings anyone
Just like to get challening enemy even if i have high tech bombs

Some come very very close though.
