does anyone have that video of i think a Tornado doing a fly-by at night while dropping BOL flares? saw it a while ago but don’t remember what thread it was in

Currently, it is 1 pop per trigger, but is there a possibility of it changing to 3 pops per trigger?
Id rather it be left to single pop, and if you want to drop 3, then just press it 3 times.
Though a “Drop burst” button, basically periodic CM deployment but just does a single pattern, could be quite good
M88 already burned the hotest at the turbine inlet, so how long will the “hot parts” of the engine last, is anybody’s guess. EJ200 gets to about 1500h, while the M88-4’s target was 600h. No idea if they met it.
You can push EJ200 to EJ230’s levels, but your crew chief won’t be happy. :D
I mean we already do have a countermeasure selector. What stops them from copypasting ripple quantity mechanic from droppable munitions onto CMs?

Only Gaijin being bothered to do it. How long have we been asking for MAWS config
the a3m had 40kg of propellant with an isp between 204 and 214, this specific missile was part of the early meteor development and was kinda the same missile with a few differences, one of those differences being that the a3m is 2mm overall wider than the meteor, so this 40kg of propellant doesn’t mean the meteor also has 40kg.
Spoiler
both images are related to the integrated booster in the a3m/euraam

I expect the 2000m/s dV is specific to the motor section. Is that how you got the ISP? For a 210 ISP that would be about a 67kg total motor to achieve that 2000-2100m/s dV
with the new propulsion system for missiles, you can add a lot more than only 2 burns, but for a ramjet like missile with throttle control you need to manually adjust the burns and everything, its annoying to get it right but i tried to make one based on a paper (pages 33-40) i had found, it doesn’t have a name and it’s clearly not the a3m or meteor because of the type of fuel used in the sustainer, but it still had a lot of good info
this was 40km range rear aspect shot at 10km altitude with the derby ER thrown in the video to have something to compare with (derby er currently outperforms anything air launched except the fakour, with the pulses configurated better for a2a), the prototype thing can’t do 100km in 90s either
legend
it’s specific to the booster section
what dV did the ramjet section provide?
total was 1612m/s, booster was 496m/s, ramjet was 1115m/s. the stats are like this
initial mass was 190kg
i expect the ramjet is closer to 1500+
same, keep in mind this missile i tried to make has worse performance than the meteor as they discuss on the paper how much of an improvement using a boron loaded fuel (the type of fuel the meteor uses) for the sustainer would give
Spoiler
boron based fuel gains
range table that is interesting to look at, launch conditions are mach 0.9 at 6000m, the meteor has at least 12:1 tdr, so even if it had the same type of fuel for the sustainer it would still travel a further distance than that because of the lower floor for minimum throttle
note a 0.5g acceleration for meteor would be about 1kN, which would allow for a seriously long burn time if the ISP is >1400m/s
And you are assuming that the flame extinguishing is the end of the boost. It could be even shorter as there’s usually a short burn out phase after the main boost, as the residues burn out.
