      Welcome all of you !! I would like to ask if the height / distance ratio for their radial action is actually being simulated in the MAVERICK missiles? Thanks!!

            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).

                            Thanks Leech, much appreciated. 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?

                                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.

                                            You mean on the HUD? Yes.

                                            Exactly. Thank you.
