ACM mode, use the change scale binding to flip through the modes. Isn’t 37KM as ACM used to be hard capped for all radars at 19km or unlimited when only measuring velocity (PDV).
CAS20 isn’t just ACM @ 37KM its also the scan pattern, what we have is the scan pattern not the range figure.
Ah I see, this is what I was confused about.
CAS20 = 37km but we are hard capped to 19km for ACM
Though dont some aircraft get ACM lock ranges greater than 19km these days? I recall something about the Su-27 or Su-30 having greater ranges?
They get 10km acm and 20km hmd for radar. technically all ir acm/hmd are hard capped to 30km and are capable of targeting all the way out to there
That might be what im recalling
I thought I recalled a few aircraft getting ACM modes greater than 19km.
Almost all of the Su’s have 20km ACM modes, makes those high alt shots with R27’s easy
You’re confusing hmd and acm
You know what, yeah lmao
Yeah my ACM is 10km lmao, guess im too used to using HMS PD lol
Yeah mig-29 and su27 manual states 10km limit for acm, and doesnt mention a limit for hmd so they implemented hmd as 20km.
Honestly its so good to have 20km for it, made my Su-30SM more fun to play
I mean for me it’s doesn’t really matter since ir hmd has up to 30km anyways (it says 10km on the interface but since it’s ir it can lock all the way up to 30km). I like locking in ir then switching to pd for surprise factor
Seems like the Sea Eagle is coming this update for the Hawk and maybe we could get it added to the Shars
Not from the spat I had with Smin over it.
They don’t believe ASMs have a place in the game so they’re very low priority, even if they were just to proliferate the current missiles.
Forgot you had that with Smin, do you also know if he is a main decision maker? He seems to know more about future plans than most in the War Thunder division

Hes a Community Manager
his job is to interface between us, the unwashed public, and the gaijin devs through at least one language barrier and multiple time zones.
Just community interaction person. Confers information we otherwise wouldn’t have. In this instance, the information conferred was the devs not particularly giving a damn about ASMs and seeing it more as a distraction than anything worthwhile, only acted on in this instance because of pressure for more ASMs by people interested in it.
Buccaneer S.2B currently is in progress to receive them. Then the Sea Harrier report will he the next one to review.
Its dependant on time available for Pylon fitting before the update.
what about Tornado GR.1?
