Question for EEGS funnel
-
@white_fang
That L5 pipper kept moving around, and sometimes it just drop outside the funnel. It annoys me when I try to get a snap shot.
-
@gmcustomsauces - you’re closer, especially in your first pic.
I think the small circle is actually the BATR - Bullets At Target Range - a prediction of where the shots would end up if you squeezed the trigger at that instant. Check me on that, though…
The key is to get your lift vector aligned with the bogey’s lift line and then pull him down the funnel…essentially strafing him down his back as you pull him through.

@Stevie BATR has a dot inside the circle. And the circle for BATR is slightly larger.
I have no issue getting the kill, it just that L5 pipper seems weird to me.

I found this video on youtube. He clearly have the same issue, the L5 pipper sometimes drop outside the funnel. Watch 3:58, that circle spin around like crazy.
-
@gmcustomsauces - there is also a “settling” time for a gun pipper. The smoother you can track, the less the settling time will be.
Doesn’t really look “weird” to me.

@Stevie Nope m8, it is not BATR , that is “death dot” , L5 pipper.
BATR is present when ah… squeeezzing the trigger… (nothing sensual)
There is also FEDS … but can’t recall when exactly… need to re-read that.
L5 death dot shouldn’t exactly leave funnel (as in his newer pic)… is it?? not sure but seems legit…
But is actually “ruled/driven” by all physics factors that can be “read” from target by radar, and your plane MMC. - so it might give some strange results in some cases …Not saying that is broken … as for most time, I didn’t have any problem scoring hits - but then again, it is just maybe for a limited time , until all data calculations “stabilizes” itself …
- I know where to look … see 05 - other manuals/ Real manuals / Korea Basic Employment Manual (Korea_BEM_Vol5)
There is this stuff, EEGS gunnery, in details. IIRC.
Of course, time for flight suit, also - hadn’t have A2A gunnery for a while … kinda miss it

@gmcustomsauces
it these series you are missing because your closure rate is negative (-30 and -60) so the bogey will be further when the bullets reach him so even if your piper was correct you would miss anyway -
@Anakin Nope… see the video he uploaded. It happens also with pos closure rates.
But in all cases there were some serious ACM , slipping, turning, not quite “smooth and stable” … so this might influence calcs. (and it does, in the end)

I think this might be intended. The calculated pipper is lvl 5 and based on target acceleration. The EEGS funnel is a pure history device so may not have settled to current maneuvering parameters. You should be able to put the pipper on target and as long as parameters are constant the funnel should settle to agree in a time range of 0.5-1.5sec.
