2 AGM65D for 1 SA8 ? really !

[suhkoi69]

<p>I noticed 2 AGM65D are necessary to destroy one only SA8: is it not too much?<br /></p>

<p>Things have changed in that area and to be honest, we know something is broken in the AP / HE model. <br /><br />We will check but can’t promise miracles</p>

<p>Per editor “D” model can inflict 325 points of AP damage. Sa-8 has 100 “Hit Points”, so seems like it shouldn’t be an issue, but I couldn’t find the damage values by damage-type tables to check if SA-8 is set to suffer a lessor percentage of AP vice HE damage (these were a feature of FF showing damage-type AP, HE, Incendiary, etc. and what percentage of that type of damage the unit would suffer. E.G. armored units would only take about 10% damage from Incendiary weapons, not sure if BMS still uses this type of model).<br /></p>

<p>Or maybe the missile missed the target.</p>

[suhkoi69]

<p>@molnibalage no I tried several times and I can confirm the missile hitting</p>

<p>@suhkoi69 I have had in the past year, three episodes with 65Ds and SA-15. Each time I’m loaded with 6 on TERs. I find an HQ with a pair of 15s defending. I rifle at the first 15 and turn cold. Splash. Flow out about 12 miles and turn hot. Find second 15. Good handoff, good cross and rifle ~7 miles just as I get lunched on. Hit the weeds and repeat. 4 more times. No splash. ACMI shows all 5 hit the 15, and does not show the 15s launching on the Mav <br /></p>

<p>@Quasi_Stellar I’ve had the same experience now that you mention it. I’ve always assumed it was either the maverick getting shot down or me sucking too much. Never really consulted the ACMI to check lol.</p>

<p>I know you can get 2 SA8’s with one GBU-12</p>
