Missile Air PH vs. ATA

Post by miller7219 »

Hi. As I understand it the program uses the Air PH to "non-menueverable" targets (missiles), but an ATA rating for menueverable targets (aircraft). Is this correct and since there is no ATA field for missile weapon types how is the missile's ATA rating determined from the Air PH?

Example: a missile has an ATA rating of 5.5 in the Harppon/Harpoon 4.1 Annex. What Air PH would I use since missile type weapons have no ATA rating field. Is it +25 (like Harpoon II) this making the Air PH 80?

A missile with an ATA rating of 5.5 in H4.1 would normally be given a HC PH of 55%.  The DB guys can elaborate if you need more info.  Remember H3 and HC are very different games.

Not sure if you were also asking this, but all missiles are given a DATA of 5.0 in the game.

Yep. For certain missiles like AMRAAM, which have a slightly higher ATA rating in the terminal "endgame" phase of an engagement, e.g. 7.0/8.0, I use the median value 7.5.
