Hell sometimes 9M’s don’t need flares or other missiles to be defeated, sometimes the target can just do literally nothing and the missile won’t hit.
I get that I launched with the seeker a bit out of the circle but from the replays the seeker keeps lock of the guy, but for some reason instead of tracking towards him the missile decides to go the opposite way.
I’ve had this happen on numerous occasions. It’s ridiculous.
If the seeker is right at the edge it can struggle to track the target. Personally that’s a pretty bad shot to take.
Looking at the replays though the missile does start to track for a second but decides it’s had enough and just goes the opposite way. And the seeker only loses track when the missile has pulled too far away.
It’s also not the only instance I’ve seen it happen in, this is just the only one I’ve managed to record and also have the replay working properly.
Because it out accelerates the target while at max gimble which causes it to fail to correctly calculate inertia.
This isn’t a missile issue, your shot was just bad sorry mate.
The behavior also happens on other occasions and the turn direction of the missile is random at best.
See my report and its attached video: Community Bug Reporting System
It should at least keep the same movement in a plane even if it overshoots the target and not go haywire into a random direction.
In the case of @joshje100 it just turns away to the right, in my case it turns downward into the ground even though it was tracking completly fine in the beginning (and still showed TRK until shortly before smashing into the ground).
And my shot wasn’t max gimbal but straight ahead even though it had to maneuver quite strong while reaching max gimbal during the flight. Something seems utterly wrong if a shot causes the missile seeker to reach max gimbal (no matter if at the beginning or during the flight). Even if it would have to switch to IOG the IOG seems to give incorrect movement data in these cases I would assume.
Let em cook
Feels like December update foreshadowing
So?
Would be a good update.
You lost gaijin at overhaul.
In Gaijins dictionary I think that means nerf
They DID say all nations would have AESA equipped aircraft by the end of the year so…. Captor-E Typhoon possibly?
they said prior to 5th gens and 5th gens wont be till latter half of next year at the earliest
But that being said. Yes only sensible option is the Typhoon and I cant think of any reason not to do it sooner rather than later.
So like the same eurofighter we have…but with an AESA?
I see 3 options
Add AESA to the current Typhoon in-game with no immediate change, but eventual BR increase when appropriate with everything else appropriate.
Add T1 Typhoon to “replace” the current Typhoon, add AESA to the current Typhoon and move it up
I could see this also being done when ASRAAM/IRIS-T is added so that we are left still with a 9M + 120B airframe
Im not sure which Id prefer, but honestly. I dont really mind at this point, all have pros and cons. But a T3+ we could make really really strong arguments for things like Striker II, Spear-3, AMK, etc etc
Gaijin be like…
That is precisely Gaijin at the moment
Is AMK even plausible for implementation? I don’t know too much about AMK test subjects but would this be similar to the category of test vehicles such as like the F15 STOL/MTD?
I think we could easily get AESA as a mod (for like 50~100k rp) for the current typhoon and then move it up. It would fare fine with the M-scan and then we wouldn’t need to bloat the tt with 3 or 4 Eurofighters.
