4.37 killed the AMRAAM
-
@Kavelenko TacView shows the G and turn rate. was about 6.5G sustained, 6.7 max. seems ok. turns sometimes look comical in TacView because of the enlarged icons.
the shot from Blitz that goes pitbull at 05:15:24 is probably more concerning… fired at ~15nm, 90 degree aspect, and with a +20k ft alt advantage… the Su-30 does a high-slice turn at 8.5G then accelerates to outrun the 120C, while actually climbing in altitude slightly.
-
@Kavelenko Yeah, getting adjusted to the new abilities of the enemy AI and the lesser pk for the 120 is coming along quite nicely.
I was going to bring up how realistic is it that most SU-27/30’s always seem to be running around at Mach 1+ until a quick google search shows they hold appx 20,000 lbs of internal fuel… Holy shiznit is that alot

U1 should improve things
-
@LorikEolmin In my mind and on my FCR.
We can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far. -
@Mav-jp
18nm for the MAR: that’s because the SU27 flew in 15kft, right?
the MAR calculation is based on the ability to deflect a missile … so if they had flown supersonic at 40kft, the MAR would have been bigger… -

Theres definitely an improvement but, It won’t fix poor shots. If you want a kill take a High PK shot. Against another human who knows proper missile defense tactics think inside of 15-18 NM. Anything greater is more than likely a wasted missile. Of course increasing the launch speed and altitude will give you better range but also creates a higher risk to the launching aircraft since missiles love high altitude.
-
@lostr0gue - Sure sounds like it…
-
@Sandman If you want a high PK, you should probably switch to guns

Much more fun
-
So, did u1 improve things?
-
@Seifer Guidance seems a bit better, more reliable.

Only “a bit”?
Internal tester BFM seniors saw massive improvements
-
BFM TV then. And they test BVR when they don’t watch it.
-
@MaxWaldorf I agree with you …

I think you lost 100% of the non french population…

I don’t have a problem with AMRAAMs not hitting anything at all, but with picking the wrong target.
I.e. when I launch two AMRAAMs in TTS at two MiG-21 (the two flying away from you in Instant Action wave 3, they’re not that close to each other and don’t maneuver at all until pitbull) from Rtr (17 NM or so), there’s something like a 50% chance that the AMRAAMs actually hit both targets, in the other 50%, both missiles pick the same MiG.
I would need to test that a little more, it’s probably more than 50%, but often enough, it doesn’t work as intended. I might also try if STT makes it better.
-
I am not sure that this is a “problem”…
It depends on your radar, datalink and conditions on how missile head is tracking…
I guess you’ll have to anticipate that missiles are not magic anymore and learn to engage properly to make sure you can transform to the proper kill…

@Aragorn Me too, everyone knows they are rockets!

FYI the acquisition code has just slightly changed in one specific case (I doubt anyone will notice )
That’s not the acquisition that has been changed since there is no issue with it .
That’s the guidance laws that have been improved , in other words their trajectories , in particular the guidance is now making sure that the target won’t go outside gimbals when lead guidance
