EFFECTIVE RANGE OF AGM-65 MAVERICK

Can they track from so far away???

The diagram is about only kinematic range and nothing else.

I tried to shoot around 12,000 feet with more than 0.5 mach and at 12 miles with Maverick AGM - 65B and unfortunately I realized that the firefight beats before he hit his target !!! I wanted to say if the parameters of these missiles work properly in these sizes?

Did your MLE show that you where in range for that shot ? If yes, then your lock was not valid.

Of course I’m out of MLE but I’m <<in>> the Raytheon kinematic range !!! Finally do not apply both? http://www.poweredmodelairplanes.com/pma/a10/maverick04.pdf</in>

The missile envelope you are presenting is inaccurate.
Stick to the BMS kinematic envelope. -
Not quite the same topic but still Maverick related:
In real life would the pilots flying Maverick equipped aircraft have to carry out the procedure of aligning the missiles to the targeting pod? I was wondering whether the weapons/flight engineers would have sorted that out before the pilot entered the cockpit. Just curious really….

Yes.
Basically you are aligning the missile to the TD box in a sense. They will need to boresight using the FCR if no TGP is carried.
……
It’s not the only weapon that needs alignment. Other weapons and systems need alignment too . Some align automatically, and some need pilot input. (HMCS for example). -

Have you used these systems in real life? If not then do we have any real fighter pilots on the forums who can back this up?

I totally agree with Duke748!!We expect a response from the experience of real world !!

A response from Leech is as close to the real thing as one might reasonably expect in the absence of the real thing

OK guys Well I guess if the real life pilots told us anything along these lines then they’d have to kill us, right?

I trust you can boresight the Mav visually in the A-10, like you can in the real F-16?

good SOP for pre TGP targets is nose down -3 above 12k fire at 8 miles out, perform a high wheel and re attack.
visual ranges, if you’re in the mud like that were meant for some doomsday scenario with t-72s steam rolling through alaska. You should be outside of danger when firing. You’ll see many on youtube down in the mud in HUD visual mode. You can neatly recce your targets, lock em up, fire, wheel, and maintain your hard deck if you just practice a little bit of target discipline.

Yes , you can even launch the missile, even during the boresight alignment while your stuck with handoff in progress. Yes you are aligning the missile to account for variations in pylons/mounting and that misalignment is seen on the HUD with ( TD BOX,MAV seeker).
The question is if F-16 pilots bore sight on every sortie. At least the HAF dose. -
in a real world scenario, like any current threat environment, you’re dealing with enemies in at the most light technical improv armored vehicles. mavericks were designed to kill tanks and light hardened structures. Most of the time, the hogs in the schedule only carry one rack asymmetrically, and I have not seen many f-16s in our theatres slung loaded with mavericks. it’s mostly just sdbs and stand off weaponry. The f-16s you do see slung heavy with the maverick family are commonly photographed in the taiwanese straight and South Korea, where those scenarios are still very much alive in which a flight of f-16s might engage or react to a convoy of mechanized armor.
