Players: ask to recalculate drag, increase range (battery life time), add prop nav
Gaijin: here you 8 missile, and now bye GE

Linux client mind you, so this might be a bug exclusive to it atm. I’m not sure Morningstar’s OS.
Let me know if I forgot something, Im very tired and sick right now.
Also including the video in this thread because I think the “chaff” is funny.
EDIT: Caused by WIP client.

My issues were because my game didn’t properly update, I didn’t see the 2.43.0.17 in the corner until after I had played a game. after updating it everything works for me your issues might be linux exclusive if you’re on 2.43.0.23
Are you using Work-In-Progress Client? If so, that is likely the issue. If you test-drive the vehicle you should not have such issues, while in live games you do because matches at the moment are created on a previous version of the game.

Drag is induced by any surfaces, because of this boundary of airflow seperation:
Yet this is true at subsonics,… but at supersonic speeds, the missile is steered away by deflecting airflow, which creates the same kind of seperation (even bigger) at the moment the Grid Fin is turned to steer.
Yet, we agree that when fins are completely straight, the Drag number should be lowered.
But once you start steering, this is completely the opposite, as the amount of Control surfaces creates way more areas in which the airflow is disrupted, which tend to increase drag significantly.
To date, what i’m understanding of this problem is that Gaijin may have been using Subsonic number as a whole for the entierity of Flight Model, which is wrong (but done similarly to all missile) but considering that and all the above:
Subsonic drag number is fine
Supersonic drag number in straight trajectory should be around 0.25
Supersonic drag number in turn trajectory should be around 2.2 (due to excessive amount of surfaces and edges on those grid fins)
I’m using the steam “release_candidate” version, which I was under the assumption was just the equivalent of the regular launcher in terms of patches. Given that it works fine in test drive it seems you’re right, I even have access to the sliders.
My bad, I had assumed the other branch was the same pipeline as the regular launcher and that steams regular branch was a sort of “stable” because it seems to get updated much later.
Edited and removed my posts so not as to muddy up the thread.
Is there still large caliber flare ?
Please do research, any at all, on how lattice fins interact with; subsonic, supersonic, and transonic flow rates. Your understanding is incredibly rudimentary on basic fin layouts, let alone lattice layouts. In maneuvers, a lattice fin should be more or less consistent with the drag of other missiles of similarly sized fins (simplified). The primary disadvantage of a lattice fin is the transonic flow rate inducing incredible drag compared to fins of equal size. At subsonic speeds, it performs comparably to ordinary fin layouts. At supersonic speeds, it performs a bit better.
Why is this even being discussed here. Move to my R-77 thread.

I’ve little care to discuss 77, only correcting the misconception of lattice fins this individual holds as they’re an interesting aerodynamic structure. If mate wants to insist on presenting issues with it as a component of nature instead of implementation, I’m sure they’d be happy in that thread.
Is ot certain that speed of sound is only thing? Super530F/D or Mica has really good supersonic drag irl, but thats for high supersonic speeds at high altitudes. Isnt it the same for R-77??
New patch with 8 missiles - All my loadouts are getting thanos snapped when restarting the game. Anyone else?
The 8 missiles only show up on the WIP client, which doesn’t reflect the live serverside, something I was unaware of. My mistake.
ah so no wonder everything is crashing out. What the fuck lmao
No wonder nothing showed up in the patch notes, I guess we just have to be patient and wait for the actual update to drop.
8 MICA (EM & IR) for Rafale F4.1 ~ F5 standard
I suppose next domestic french 4.5 generation fighter aircraft in the future might be Rafale B F4.1
Changes are live.

SIUUuu we love to see it! Is it perfectly historica?l no but untill they buff/fix mica I am very happy with this.
We now get a total of off 56 chaff and 52 flares pops (the new countermeasures are all singe pop)

Is anyone able to use the HAMMER SBU54s? (the laser guided ones)
whenever I bring them out it just says seeker:on and refuses to leave the rail. Works perfectly in test flight
We also got wat we wanted with the stock MICA on different pylons. Now you dont need to research all the way up to MICA in onder to beable to bring MICA with CAS!
