Probably the case,
That missile hasn’t even attempted to intercept, surely it should be trying to intercept and hitting the ground under the heli causing damage?

Unless Gaijin have changed how 120s work down low

4447

Could you link the replay?

4448

How do I do that?

4449

Best bet, find the match on:

https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/

and share the link

But can be buggy and not all matches appear

Strange as it looks to me the seeker is actively looking AT the target, not the direction of its flight.

4451

Please make sure to always show proof of the documents being unclassified (Document is safe in this case).

Its an boring update, also called Nothingburger

4453

Which one?

Summary

F-8 exerpts come from the F-8D’s Flight manual

F-8D&E NAVAIR 01-45HHD-1A 1966
F-8D&E NAVAIR 01-45HHD-1A 1966784×1015 300 KB
and tac manual
NAVAIR 01-45HHD-1T 1971
NAVAIR 01-45HHD-1T 1971738×1014 351 KB

The F-14 manual excerpt itself comes from one of the Redacted (Declassified) revisions of “An Outsider’s View Of The Phoenix/AWG-9 Weapon System” which was released in part under FOIA.

Get over yourself with that pathetic persecution complex.

This has been missing from the game for a lot longer than the Typhoons addition.

This is the part of the response that I think is hilarious, like what is the determination of speed from any sensor that isn’t just taking the range data multiple times? It’s such a stupid response I can’t believe they even bother writing it.

They acknowledge the PIRATE is capable of ranging, but refuse to believe it could do it multiple times to create a track file for a target that includes speed?

Analyzing the radar waveform can provide instantaneous ranging, which is probably what they are referring to.

“One method of obtaining range information from a CW radar uses frequency modulation (FM). The modulation can be sinusoidal, sawtooth, triangular, or any shape, as long as the rate of frequency change is known. The transmitter emits a continuous signal, but the frequency is changed in a known pattern. When the echo returns from the target, it is then compared to the frequency being transmitted. This frequency difference is directly proportional to the range of the target.”

I guess it would be a question of if it was accurate enough to create a sufficiently detailed track for an active radar missile to use for midcourse corrections, which it obviously is sufficient to get it into range of the onboard active seeker to provide terminal guidance.

Why is the catcher so fond of locking on missiles and not on the enemy

4458

I’m not wrong though, new the mechanics are often reserved for the “bigger” nations

Yes it was a flippant remark.

4459

When HMD with IFF (copium)

If you shoot down your enemies missiles they can not harm you. Making you unkillable!

I don’t know they seem to have changed the code or RCS for all missiles to give all SPAA/SAMs a chance to shoot down missiles and bombs.

I feel we are experiencing this as a side affect

4461

You can have it even right now. All you need is ally in front of you and TWS.

4462

I mean real IFF and not those RNG radar IFF

4463

Then no. As you can see on the screen below the HUD, in game EF is not connected to any DL, meaning no info. Smart devs.

4464

Only France is allowed to have perfect 24/7 IFF with no emissions /s

4466

Any manual, It’s best to always show that something is declassified. In that case i was answering to the F-8 screenshots iirc.
