British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Yeah…

You can already check it out in a test flight, changes often go live there earlier, it’s confirmed by the larger gimbal limit, the missile does feel different but the lowered booster force makes it feel more sluggish at high alt

Not sure if they are on that yet. Still lacking a bit in terms of range

I’ve never heard that changes go live earlier on the test flights, that would be pretty confusing for people trying to bug report etc…

Are you sure you aren’t thinking of the dev server?

Damn thats a shame, I had heard they were reasonably manuverable irl, i guess not

The radar looks a little different. So maybe… not sure

Yes I noticed it a few months back when they increased the max time without lock for some missiles

If it is, then Red Tops are still missing about 1km of range I think. Firing at a slow moving Mig-15 from a lightning doing Mach 1.1 at a range of 2km and it still fell short. I think it should have hit from 3km away

It looks the same to me

Its probably best to wait untill the dev server (probably this friday) and we will see for sure

The gimbal limit wasnt changed tho unless i missed something?

Its the box in line with the lock. That looks new to me

Im pretty sure thats been there for a while, looking back at old videos on Youtube it looks basically the same

In test flight the Red Tops guidance delay is also certainly longer than the new 0.3 seconds

I think the representation of the radar beam is new(ish?), but all other elements have been there for a while

Yeah, its on live live as well, so eitehr i never noticed it, or it arrived in the last few days

It seems to fade with distance, so maybe its an indication of estimated illumination beam strength at a given range?

Anyway its neat but probably doesn’t have a real purpose

I want a scope with ranges properly labeled, rather than just the max range and max gimbal limit

Yeah a proper radar update with ARH would be nice

*sigh I’m gonna have to learn manual target cyclic for the radars with the new update, aren’t I?

I should make a suggestion for allowing the change target keybind and manual target cyclic to work interchangeably

in SB I manually select target already. Means you can actually control the TWS

You’re right, I forgot it was changed some time ago
