Sky Sabre/Land Ceptor - Technical data and discussion

I believe i’ve found the issue with munition intercepts… There’s one thing in common between every failure:



It flies about 10m over it… for some reason. Every time. These are two separate launches. Same went for the other 4 in that match.

Also just had this rather interesting failure.


Proximity fuse not working???

Also noticed that it never seems to actually exceed about 30G in practice.

Dev update to .20/.21. Couple of the AMB fixes seem to be in. Won’t bore you all with the details so:

  • missile DL changed from 4 to 24
  • range changed from 20km to 65km
  • max tws changed from 40 to 200
  • range bands changed from 30k, 60k, 100k to 10k, 20k, 60k, 100k (easier to work with at close range)

looks like no functional changes to CAMM as of yet. They did reduce the size of the rocket flame though.

Range against target with RCS of 1.
Radar still has a hard cap of 40km

Will actually be able to detect projectiles in a reasonable distance though.

right

120km range for the radar now:

  • Giraffe AMB (Giraffe AMB (Sky Sabre)): transceiver: range limit: 40 → 120 km (Source)

Also this:

  • Giraffe AMB (Sky Sabre): radar turned 180° in parking position

It is still capped at 20km due to the signal value.

Ah great, Never mind then

Looks like they changed something else on .48.0.25 (today)
1m^2 RCS range increased 65->120km

Waiting for datamine to check for anything else.

Doubt its against 1, rcs most likely changed too.

increased maxrange to 180, but changerd rcs to 12, and detection for it, as well as cap and scale was changed to 120

Damn :(

At least it can detect past 20 though now.

isn’t that thing have ASRAAM as its missile too?

No.

oh, okay thank you


Definitely a noticeable improvement but…
It can’t engage anything past 20km? at all??? it just doesn’t let you.

CAMM is ASRAAM but with a different seeker (ARH) and a booster pack. But never used the IIR version in the sky sabre

TWS target creation is still limited to 20km

They really want to hamstring the range

I have my doubts sky sabre doesn’t know what an F-16 is.
