On another note, PGMs, gained some serious IOG drift
That would be your RHWR, you should be using that to line up on a threat and that is also your range estimation.
The top down seems reliable as long as you give it enough range
Every one I’ve shot has hit fine at 10km+ range
Even at 55km the motor was still burning as it was flying over to the target
its a shame but considering they now have MITL it should be fine, you can just manually correct their guidance
but it will do like this in the game
hit
miss
and missed so often
so i want to tell you that ALARM Currently very unstable
They do seem to be pretty unstable
I think some PID changes and maybe a slight increase in G load would help them a lot
Currently they only have a max G load of 5G, which is pretty awful

Loft path I think needs tweaking too.
From the few tests fires Ive done, It seems to always go for a fairly vertical final approach, but maybe having it start going for the target a few seconds earlier would help too.
This is good no?
It is, unless it totally misses the target because its tried to do it and couldnt correct onto the target in time. Im not talking about significantly sooner, im am just meaning 2-3 seconds earlier, so would still come down near enough vertical
Testing out ALARM’s in a custom and apart from the bug every anti radiation missile has where the seeker stays active once activated, no matter what, these feel pretty decent, especially when you have 9 of them.
It is good.
I just managed to destroy the ADATS in test drive from 70km away
As they approach from above the ADATS (at least the AI) didn’t even try and intercept them untill it was far too late and they were around 2km above, by that time was far too late
from 0-40km they gradually accelerated to around 2650kph (just over mach 2)
From 40-55km they slowed down to around 1700kph
Then at around 55km they start their “final dash” where they accelerated back up to around 2200kph and then dove down onto the ADATS from around 8-10km up
The main limiting factor is that the Tornado GR.4 is a pretty mid platform, although you get 9 of them so you can easily fire several at a target if you want to. If they were on the Typhoon they would be a way better as you could launch them from faster speeds and higher altitudes.
Managed to do an 80km shot and destruction
That was firing only at around mach 1.15
The range is pretty ridiculous
Can you fire an ARM without an express lock or does it NEED a specific radar signal before allowing you to shoot?
need to have a target in its seeker, then you can launch at will
Upwardsm backwards forwards, in seeker FOV or outside, at will

Right - so if everyone on the Red Team is super-disciplined and have their radars off - you won’t be able to send a few their way pre-emptively?
Seems like they need a lock first

I suppose then they have done their job in keeping their radars off and this limiting the effectiveness of the SAMs
yep, but once that lock is there, as as long as they keep their radar on, you can launch regardless of anything
Unfortunately that’s probably accurate to real life
