@MaxWaldorf I agree with you …

BFM TV then. And they test BVR when they don’t watch it.
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

That’s because you still don’t accept that the target cue can be Miles away from the real target , and it also heavily dépendant of the distance between the target and the shooters radar. STT will be more accurate but still

@WPNS24 my AMRAAMs still killing it…
-
@GhostDog-0 I don’t know what this means? good or bad? sarcasm or not?
-
First time being able to fly update 1 and 1 mission and 4 slammer kills on a 21, 29 and 2 23’s. Seemed normal and have an ACMI as well, The slammers are back baby!!!
-
@WPNS24 i mean, my AMRAAMs are still able to lock and shoot down its target. No bugs
-
@GhostDog-0 Never said there were bugs but yes the slammers guidance seems much better now

Is that radar inaccurancy visible in the HUD? I always see TD boxes that are perfectly on target.
I mean, I probably know the answer: “4.38 will have inaccurate TD boxes and radar screens.”

In BVR you see the TD box perfectly on a target, that you can not see (Beyond Visual Range). That’s exactly my kind of humor!

@Razor161 Smart Scaling is a pathway to abilities some consider unnatural.
Seriously, I usually don’t launch from that far, it’s usually around 15NM. That’s still kind of BVR, but in BMS it’s close enough to see a dark dot in the middle of the TD box.

Not always when you’re close enough and your radar loses the lock (and extrapolates).

no , the innacuracy is a sum of several innacuracy that you can’t see in the hud

There’s TGP. You can indeed see it “drift” away from bugged radar target, in between scan contacts, in RWS or TWS modes. It doesn’t appear to drift miles and miles… but point is you can see the target, and get a sense of scale of the error between scan updates ~ 5 seconds or so.

He referred to the TD box on the HUD.
