My bad, only looked at left and right ones. But then why would anyone choose them over r77? Especially after r77 buff.
Didnt mean bombs or rockets specifically. Just plane with that type of weaponry. Also anti air exists for shooting down both planes and munitions (not just planes). Both in wt and real life.
unless fired in pitbull range, which is identical for 9X, IRIS-T and SLM - 9km all aspect.
That is not only highly map dependent, but it also depends on the fact that enemy radar wont get as much as ping during the final approach (due to pitull range). The TVC on all aforemetnioned issues makes minimal range truly minimal so its not like with older systems where popping too close to the SAM would make it unable to effectively fire back. Some restrictions apply still but nowhere near as close as those of older SAMs.
Pitbull range is the distance from a target when an active radar-guided missile turns on its own radar and guides itself.
Those are IR missiles, not active radar homing missiles, what they have is LOAL (lock on after launch) capability which enable them to be launched without actually locking on any target. Once the missile receives the target’s data in the form of three-dimensional coordinates, it will employ inertial guidance mode during the initial phase of flight. After attaining the required engagement altitude, the IR seeker activates and begins scanning the expected target zone.
And this is why, even with TVC, all those systems have a minimum operational radius, usually arround 1-2km (0,6 - 1,2 miles for those who still use the thumb of King Edward II to measure stuff).
yes, when ARH missile goes pitbull, it enters a certain distance where no longer relies on being fed targeting data from launching platform as its main method of guidance and switches to onboard radar.
No different to datalinked IR missile that enters a certain distance where no longer relies on being fed targeting data from launching platform as its main method of guidance and switches to being guided by IR seeker.
And they have to be guided within certain distance of said target, by being fed targeting data provided by launching platform, before they can do the LOAL.
Just like ARH.
Which I acknowledged:
Unless you can spawn hill on any map as you please, it is map dependent, as I said:’
And what does it have to do with how good Su-33 is? Su-33 is great at 13.0 because of ERs and missile count, ET has nothing to do with it. ET is fine, but hardly ‘one of if not the best Fox 2s in the game’, at least in ARB.
If you have pitch and roll on the same stick you will almost always move the other axis unintentionally. Separating them gives you more precise control. I never found it confusing.
