that’s fine, but 10 metres is kinda ridiculous when you’re flying a brick with no responsiveness.
so what does the Skyflash monopulse seeker (or any others for that matter) actually do when considering multipathing
Well, it should not. Things like laser proxy would not care at all, radar proxy might or might not be affected. From what i know the proxy disable with multipathing was added to the game for gameplay purposes, so not a bug.
Well, they work just like they do in game. Most missiles in game are modelled in game as having inv monopulse, while at least from the NATO side only skyflashes and 7ms should get it, the rest uses conical scanning. Missiles with conical scanning would work much worse compared to what we have now.
what about the WARPAC side?
Well, sadly im not very knowledgeable(even tho i should), what missiles uses what type of seeker.
Edit:R27 uses inv mon, not sure about the rest.
Edit2:It seems that R23/24 also had inv mono.
Im saying this after very breif search on the internet.

Multipath occurs up to like 100 m or more in game
Skyflash could reliably hit targets flying at 100 ft (30 m) in real life.

Never had it happen over such a distance, good to know. Now that i think about it, maybe it did, just my scale of distance was wrong from the start.
I mixed conical with mono, didnt i? I will have to dig deeper into the topic, tomorrow.
Breh insane engineering from the Russians. For once.
If that’s true of course, I’m taking your word as gospel here, i haven’t a clue
IIRC R23/24 had monopulse but not inverse monopulse but I might be misremembering or mixed up with another missile
They use monopulse seekers yes, but it’s unknown what level of processing is done on the signals to reduce ground clutter/multipathing and increase low altitude performance.
Regardless, the Skyflash is objectively underperforming at low altitude, but you know the deal.

At this point that just doesn’t need to be stated
Is Skyflash British? Yes
Therefore, garbage because Britain clearly can’t design or build anything technologically superior

When the most accurate British missile is the skyflash…… red top can’t have its irl stats due to “balance” as if they can’t move jets up in br. And the skyflash being the worst sarh missile I’ve had the displeasure of using. Using the 7f just makes you realise how terrible they are. You cannot put into words how bad they are compared to other sarh missiles.

I haven’t used much other than Skyflash or SuperTEMP
I long for the day when we finally get Meteor and can nuke some poor soul in an F-15 from the other side of the map…
Someday now…

Gaijin:
Using data from the R-77, we have concluded that the Meteor has a range of 5km and is a SARH seeker.

piss nevermind just stop updating war thunder at that point
can’t even get the Meteor right (hint hint: it’s a lot better than anything Russia has)
Ramjet? That will be 200m/s (0.5 mach)
