Community Update No.10: Starting The Year Off!

Technically those target points only go as far out as whatever you designate on the map or as in the video, as far out as 30 km via the targeting optics. I did it in test flight so you probably couldn’t see it as I was approaching the map boundary.

USA jets iirc don’t set a target point on air targets currently (this may change), but Eurofighter does in-game.

Where does this come from?

Coz in my understanding, GNSS is usually used in the target location on Ground and sea
The Z-axis is something rarely appear in news or movie


The PL-12A is essentially a PL-12 shell with a PL-15 missile inside, but without a dual-pulse capability.

1.2 Mach/1400kmh IAS at low alt, where missile has all the air density to leverage steering controls. Distance to target, flying in opposite direction was… sub 2km, with positioning requiring missile to do 180 turn. Using custom battle EC map for somewhat consistent test environment.

Thrust vectoring leaves the chat when motor burns out. And finding scenario where missile doesn’t maneuver until last second is difficult to create.

Neither did Gaijin by the looks of it, as it should be J band by NATO classification used in game.

120D continues to be C5 copypaste as expected.

IRST used in Rafale (and Eurofraud?) is coded as targeting pod, hence you can “look through it” with TV or IR channel for visual, passive identification. The moment you slap targeting pod on US/Ru jet of choice, they also place Point of Interest onto selected TWS contact.

hopefully that would change :(

Honestly not much to change for it. The factor upgrades will be longer engine burn better radar with GNSS. Don’t expect a miracle missile on an affordability upgraded. (Unless they add DL with multi aircraft)

So no change to maneuverability?

The big question is: Will the AIM-120D get its dual-pulse rocket motor? This would improve its terminal performance significantly opposed to the AIM-120A/B/C.

you have more maneuverability at range cause the motor is still burning.

I wouldn’t be surprised if current motor used by C5/C7/D ie 7.75s burn, 15.5kN thrust is THE famous “+5 motor”, it does have about 5kg of propellant extra on board.

as far as I am aware the 120D does not have a dual-pulse rocket motor.

There is conflicting info and uncertainty which version of the 120D has a dual-pulse motor AFAIK.

From everything I have read online. It uses the +5 motor. So just more fuel.

hopefully they first fix the torpedo bugs which are present since months - missing aiming marker in gunners view and reload bug (prevents launching torps after reload cycle started in AB)

GNSS is more than capable of determining altitude.

Hoping this doesn’t get fixed for a while longer, as long as the Su-30s at 13.3 can spam them and ruin the BR bracket, I don’t want PL-12s that can fly properly.

thats why im asking in here

How do I get this on Playstation? I dont see it anywhere.
