HARMs against ships… can it be done?
-
well you can destroy ships with SDBs and yes we did this. I havent yet tried to lock a ship with the HAD, but it might work. I destroyed 6 t62s with a HARM though.
How do you aim your harms? Or it’s pure luck?

The Gorn is our resident HARM expert, where’s he at…?
Surely - soon - anybody who understands this post would be approaching the threshold of age-related dementia.
Then… The Gorn can rest without thoughts of terrible vengeance coursing through his embarrassed veins…!
Besides, there were no ships involved. Just me. A wingman. Fate.
(Surely the YOUNGEST dudes to remember this would have to be in their 50’s now, right…??)

Age-related something? Sure, many things, but not dementia. Which means I recall the facts and understand the post… (A Frugal’s vet salutes you both gents)

I’m 42 and remember it! Rare example when age brings some advantage! LOL

45 here also remembering it

Hi folks,
in our sqdn we were wondering if it’s possible to disable the tracking / guiding radars of certain types of ships using the AGM-88. The missiles lock on and hit their targets as they should, but they don’t disable the radars.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Uwe
Hoover, it’s been a very long time, but I’m almost sure I once hit a ship with a HARM in BMS. I was flying a Hornet C, and targeted the RWR indicated Sa(n)-4 on a Krivak, via HAS mode.
Again, if memory serves, I watched it hit the ship, but the Gecko stayed up. Or, I should say a Gecko, as I assumed that the HARM killed one radar but a Krivak has 2. Whether that was a correct assumption or not is hard to say. -

It worked in A-10 Cuba with Harms.
In F4 its about whole vehicle HP. I guess you can kill small vessel with Harm (if Harm HP damage > ship HP…or you launch multiple Harms).
Antimissile protection is not simulated, but there was procentual missile PK factor, which simulated it a bit.I used to create BOSS ship in AF times - with incremental damage system. It was an objective with two docked static ships and SAM system- back of ship was a carrier (it launched helis in 2D + waypointable cruise missiles withwery long legs and chaff/flares/ECM capability), frontal section was surface ship capable firing long range ASMs and SHORAD and there were spots for SAM mast with powerfull long range launcher in the center.
I also tried to setup ship as armybase, with mentioned capabilities + posibility housing troops and launch airborne missions (LHD)
I guess some hate “fake” or “frankenstein” approach, but I had a great fun with it. -

I Skype-messaged you two days ago.
Why the jilted bride am I…?
Thrown askew beneath a pile of ARMA wantons.
Left alone in a hostile spinster’s abode, to suffer the tortuous wit of Pumpy. WHEN he can be bothered… sniff

So can you explain what happend in detail, please?
That would be also enriching for those younger lads I guess.

Haha yup, I was 13 when I discovered the original F4. I was 18/19 when I worked with you guys on FF I think?
Not many other games/sims can claim so many years!
-
…I can’t remember…
So can you explain what happened in detail…LMAO…! You almost had me, there.
What I did was not as stupid as publicly POSTING about it, looking for advice; thinking it was a COMMON occurrence.
Oh - how innocent, naive and cute I was.
Now - I’m just cute.

Until RAM fixes me up with my pic, I do believe a new temporary Sig. is in order.

Was worth a try. :mrgreen:

Stupid or not, you made a part of Falcon History!!!
… and IMHO neither PeopleFalcon nor the FF manuals can beat that event.Cheers,

Long live People Falcon….

Not to interrupt the nostalgia… but I wonder if you could accomplish this by turning a ship into an objective, like we do for Carriers. Then adding in the “radar component” as a piece of the objective, similar to a radar tower at an objective. It would be a pain for theater guys to have to apply the same rules to all ships as they do for carriers in order to get them to move around. But it’ an idea…
