Happens all the time I mean look at the missiles rn it is over a week now still bugged now imagine there intrest in changing something that they couldn’t care less about a type 93 I mean if u make a new type 93 premium… Maybe then
Hi all. I’ve added a section for sources that can be used for bug reports, if you have any additions please let me know and I’ll add them to the op.

I really hope they actually do something about the radar
Its so awful right now ive basically given up on using the tansam because of how bad its radar is
The partial area search that they introduced but inaccurately so they decided to just get rid of it instead of fixing it (well done gaijin) would help a lot.

I noticed that the missiles “fall” down after launch, instead of immediately going straight of the rail. Basically when you fire the missile while aiming level, it first go downwards like 15 degrees, making them even more likely to hit the ground. I don’t believe that’s correct? Can’t check any video of the Type 81 firing irl atm.

Same thing happens with the 11.7 81c
Has anyone noticed that when you fire the Fox 3 version and it locks the aircraft, but if your radar gives a false update (the radar is saying the aircraft is somewhere he isn’t), the fox 3 will drop its lock it had on the aircraft and then try and pressue this false update?
It seems the datalink is overriding the radar lock that the Fox 3 has gotten.

Didn’t notice it as much since I tend to fire the missiles a bit higher anyway.
I found this post on twitter with pictures of test fires (no live footage unfortunately).
Looks to me that they fire relatively straight.
Extrapolating a bit, I think that the Type-81 missiles have a similar enough booster/mass to a RIM-7 sea sparrow to make this footage somewhat relevant:
In both the pictures and the videos of the sea sparrow, they definitely don’t drop enough to hit the dirt if fired with launchers level.
Unrelated, here’s a video of the reload cycle of the launcher I came across while I was searching. Thought it was pretty neat. Note that the arms can actually rotate past 90° (to reload the top rail)

I think we’re just finding out about this now because no one with two brain cells to rub together would fire directly at the target in the TT type-81C

Honestly i would say thats a good thing if it wasnt for the TADS radar being actual trash right now
The ARH missiles have an issue of being too easy to notch so if the datalink made them track better in the notch that would be amazing
nice find! Watching this just reminds me how pathetic the ingame sounds are for missile launches are…
Yea, if the datalink takes priority that’s good news, however the TADS radar itself is pretty bad right now, especially since it lacks a filter to ignore rockets, friendly or not. That combined with the inability to maddog launch if there’s any radar contacts at all (they go for the contact even if not anywhere close to reticle) makes it a bad experience. I hope they fix and add the manual search mode and also an optional filter for all SPAA to ignore rockets/bombs that way we can actually use our radars properly against aircraft.

nah, i love shooting down all the Kh38s that the enemy Su30 spams at me
yes, this is dumb as hell

If anything, they need to at least change the colors of items on the radar screen. When things are too close they just meld together into an indecipherable mess. Friendly IFF tags are especially hard to spot
That’s fine, just let it be optional. It’s really annoying when you have to constantly cycle targets to get back to the launching aircraft
I think an option to remove friendly rockets/bombs would be good too. Aircraft have an option to remove RWR pings from friendly aircraft so something similar so that our sensors don’t get cluttered

I cant even reliably shoot down ordinance because of how awful the radar is currently
Maybe i can get 1 but its usually still off by too far for the missile to start tracking
When the Type 81C launches a missile on command from a radar vehicle, the radar stops rotating and tracks the target. It is in 7.2.2 of the link.
７．２．２ 機 能 射撃統制装置の主な機能は，次のとおりである。
(１) 目標の捜索・探知・追随 電子走査式レーダによって，機械式回転を併用して全周捜索及び捜索と同時に目標を追随(粗追随)することができるとともに，特定方向にアンテナ部を固定して部分捜索・粗追随及び要撃を行うための追随(精追随)を同時に実施することができる。また，実弾及び演習弾を発射後，間欠的に目標を追随(間欠追随)することができる。(６) ＵＴＤＣ誘導処理 間欠追随している目標が旋回などを行い，目標の経路と予想経路との差が所定の値以上となった場合，実弾又は演習弾に目標位置，目標速度などの目標情報をＵＴＤＣ信号として送信することができる。
The radar has three tracking methods: coarse tracking, precision tracking, and intermittent tracking.
When the radar is being rotated, coarse tracking is used.
When a missile is fired at a target, the radar stops rotating and precision tracking is performed on the target. At this time, coarse tracking is also performed at the same time, and other targets are also tracked.
After the missile is launched, intermittent tracking is performed to track the target. This is used for UTDC.
It would be nice to see this implemented.

The main thing that’s wrong about the Tan-SAM kai is that it is nowhere near as effective as the IRIS-T SLM. We need decompression to happen, and we need it fast. IRIS-T SLM would make 13.0 while the Tan-SAM kai would maybe be 12.3 (30-40km vs ~10km? lol). Japan needs the Type 03 Chu-SAM to actually have a proper top tier SPAA.
