I guess 60km only happen when it go totally ballistically and landed on somewhere in 60km away.
for missiles of this size, even considering progress in rocket, they usually don’t have enough energy to hit a maneuvering target after 6-8km. but it’s battery will allow it to keep flying more to hit something not so maneuvering.
not so strange, it’s air launched with a much better start energy. and rules for air launched missile range is that the range is the distance then it’s fired.
for example, AIM-120 has 80km range in game. this mean when you fire it to someone who go towards you in 80km, it will meet the target before it self destructs.
but of course you can’t always hit someone in 80km, and this range decays to about 6km when fired in rear.
As i said, 60km in a straight line.
Also remember CAMM has body lift and a long sustainer (i dunno how long it burns, but it it supposed to be long compared to the 3s(iirc)booster)
yes, compared to other missiles, it will rely more on it’s TVC to adjust direction, because its clean body design. fast burning is not good for using TVC
No.
TVC of CAMM is only in the VL. Rear section with the TVC uses its own gasses to turn the missile, then booster of the missile turns on, then sustainer. The missile in flight does not have TVC.
The missile body is generating lift, allowing it to stay longer in flight, and make turns better.
ok now I understand. the “clean body design” part in my words.
this allows it to get a less drag than normal design with strake wings(IRIS-T), but when speed drops, it will quickly loose maneuverability and lift.
I knowww :(
what i’m trying to say is that there’s normally “server update version x.xxx.xxx” or “video digest xxx”, and there being nothing is just throwing me off (part of my routine is literally just looking in news and then dismissing the boring stuff lul)
Is there just some holiday or something I don’t know about?
Tomorrow we plan to have a dedicated SEAD news post as the second test will start. It will cover the same things we mentioned in the CM post, so there won’t be anything new there — just news so people can see it if they didn’t read or see the CM post.
