cruise missile interception DLZ calculation need to be revised

[Tcao]

Here is the screenshot, F-15s intercept low flying cruise missiles. The game's default setting for CM interception is fire at max range . F-15 will fire AIM-120C-7 as soon as CM enter the DLZ. The problem is the Amraam do not have enough terminal speed to catch the CM.

A direct answer to this problem is this is a DLZ calculation issue. at least in this scenario , you will have to change the setting to fire at 40nm distance. Any distance further will cause the Amraam failed to catch the CM to bring up the final PoH calculation.


At the same time, another possible solution is to add more WRA option, like adding fire at NEZ for missile interceptions too. And for scenario designers to revise the universal WRA, the 75%, 50% , 25% setting will also change the WRA targeting missile and helicopters.

Thanks for the report, there are a few A-A missiles that have some kinematic and energy issues that were actively working on right now. Like you said the best thing to do is to engage the cruise missiles at a closer range.
