Re: SAM trajectories, revisited

Well, it seems the SM-6 does well against C-802/YJ-83 ASuMs. Subsonic at 60 ft. is where you think its having issues. I used these units because they happened to be in my baseline test scenario. I'll adjust to YJ-81s and different versions of the SM-6. Dude...I know. Please re-read what I said in b...

Re: SAM trajectories, revisited

Nope, it was just a recurring issue in 1328 that I narrowed down to the incoming missiles being subsonic and flying at 60 feet. YJ-81s were the usual culprit. The destroyers would smack down all other missiles as usual, but trying to engage the -81s would instead spit out this firing block: estimate...

SAM trajectories, revisited

Hello, a while back (1307-era) both myself and others posted about strange SAM lofting trajectories that were resulting in anomalously low terminal engagement velocities and probability of kills (like 30-35% for an SM-2 at only 40 miles distance). The issue was actually wonderfully addressed and fix...

Buddy Lasing

Hello everyone, So I was playing the "Southern Fury" mission the other day, and as things progressed, I made the decision to use some of the Tornadoes from Mt. Pleasant airfield to strike at a pair of Argentine ships. The jets were loaded with Brimstones and Paveway IV's. The mission is se...

Re: S-400s Peter'ing well below range

Missiles were not lofting high enough as range decreased and drag was making them peter out. This will be fixed in the next release (probably 1328.11.) Just curious is this the same cause of this issue reported by thewood1 ? https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10230&t=398263 I re...

Re: What is the altitude ceiling for AA guns?

Does the manual actually say this "slant range" somewhere? I'd like to see it. I haven't been able to find it. Some of these guns have a range of 10 miles. Does that mean that that could shoot 50k feet straight up? (Granted, that's just an exaggeration.) So, given the slant range, I would...

Re: What is the altitude ceiling for AA guns?

The range listed for air targets in the database viewer is given as a slant range. So if it is listed as 1 nmi, then the ceiling for that weapon would be 1 nmi directly over the gun and would decrease the farther away the target is from the gun. Try to imagine the engagement envelope as a 1 nmi hemi...

Re: Simulation shows Ireland can’t defend against unarmed plane

Romania put in an offer for some second-hand Norwegian F-16 MLUs for a touch over $16 million per airframe (32 airframes @ $514 million USD), per this article: https://www.aviacionline.com/2021/12/romania-wants-to-acquire-32-second-hand-f-16-for-us-514-million/ . From what I understand, factory new ...

Re: Database Error?? Sensor Max Ranges on Platform DB Pages

Hello, So you have it almost correct. Per the release notes of when the feature was released in 1258.1 (see: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10201&t=385313), the first value is the sensor's volume scan range. That is, the maximum distance it can theoretically pick up targets o...

Re: 1307.12 Strange SAM behavior

Excellent, thank you for reviewing it! And yes, I think it's really just down to small adjustments on the missile's trajectory. The missile's tendency to fly straight and level while gliding towards the target below the target's altitude really kills a lot of its energy, especially when the terminal...

[TWEAK+FIXED] 1307.12 Strange SAM behavior

Hello, I was playing a mission yesterday evening after the new 1307.12 update dropped and noticed that SAMs I was firing from one of my ships were having a really hard time hitting a relatively close, non-maneuvering target. Upon closer inspection I saw that they were not really lofting (SM-2MR Bloc...
