I think you’re misunderstanding that statement tho. You have to soft lock something, you dont have to flip flop between all targets you launched on as long as one target is soft locked and the others are within the TWS scope.
The first missiles motor ran out by that point and as such couldn’t be seen visually, and the first target left your radar scope afterwards, its not exactly a smoking gun at all…
What I’m saying is your first test is both misunderstanding what’s being claimed, and generally poorly executed to prove anything.
No, this is not how it currently functions in game. It only updates the missile for the target selected for it. You will have to cycle to each Pheonix target before it goes active. The only reason he did these tests was because I had mentioned this weird mechanic. Otherwise, they will fly to the last updated predicted target position.
Pretty crazy how TWS and the Aim-54 Phoenix has so many unknowns to them where all other weapon systems and radars are pretty much straight forward. But here we are almost a year of having them and there are still people coming to the forums trying to explain how it all works.
Thats a huge embarrassment to the developers of this bias game. Imagine having so much Russian bias in your game you mess up a weapon system so bad that almost a year after it enters game people still dont know how it works. Everyone knows the Phoenix is held back by some angry developer mad at NATO equipment but man…thats embarrassing.
I almost promise you as soon as ARH missiles become the norm, the same question will be popping up everywhere. As of current, no other aircraft has ARH, only the Tomcat. Any schmuck that can keybind “Dogfight mode” can use an SARH. It is an entirely different animal than having to control multiple missiles using TWS datalink until handoff. It is complex and tedious, definitely more than what a casual player cares to learn. Arguably, most people think it is as simple as fire and forget when there’s a lot more nuance to it. This isn’t indicative of Russian bias.
it is russian bias because Gaijin is making fucking difficult for us to deploy Fox-3s when the radar should automatically TWS guide them. Im tellign you, when R-77 and R-33/37 get added they will probably rework the whole TWS fox-3 method because russian mains arent gonna be happy if they have to do the same method us F-14 players have been doing.
That sounds subjective at best. People can turn around and say it’s U.S. bias because they have had ARH for over a year. Admittedly, just like most advanced functions in this game, it is either poorly explained or not explained at all. Players tend to have to stumble into the answer. It is because it is not explained well that even Russian mains may not understand how to use DL for multiple targets. At least experienced Tomcat pilots can use this to their advantage for new ARHs, other pilots will have to learn an catch up.
Would be true if it wasnt for the fact that the AIM-54 is so badly modelled it loses at all combat ranges and in almost all combat scenarios to the R-27ER, and even to a large extent the 7F/M in WT.
I covered this before, but you have to be AFK, or genuinely bad at the game to die to an AIM-54. Even at high alt, mach 2.0+ launches, which will never happen in-game, vs a target flying at M1.5 without maneuvering, you have over 15 seconds of warning just from the RWR, never mind the visuals from the smokey motor. Theres literally no reason for it to be as bad at it is, this goes beyond balancing, theres no competitive reason to bring the stupid things, theyre just fun for players that enjoy some more complexity in their radar gameplay/operation.
All the presumptuous complaints about Russian bias that has yet to happen isn’t useful to the thread though. The clear and obvious reason is that the F-14 was rushed and the AIM-54 was not going to get any better than it is now until tech mods found and forwarded better information that was obtained later. Now there’s whining that it wasn’t implemented the same week it was found / reported.
I’m simply stating arguements people make to justify their beliefs.
I’ve generally covered what Tomcat drivers need to do to increase their kill probability with Pheonixs. It matters to me little that Russia has the 27ER, they are still defeated in relatively the same way as any other SARH. I still welcome any changes to improve the 54, especially as we move into ARH.
How i makes de missile speed calculus?
DELTA(V)=Vf-Vo
Example
By gzabi list aim54A delta(V)=1224 m/s at the conditions
Just do Vf=Vo+delta(V)?
For example i launch it at 300 m/s
Like a Vf=1224+300= 1524m/s?
Launch speed + deltaV doesn’t incorporate drag and if you wanna be extra extra extra accurate you can factor in maximum trim and body drag during maneuvers etc which would require a full CFD.
This is basic information, you’ll learn faster from Google than waiting for me to reply and teach. Even so, better place for it is DMs or another media form.
Ok, but how i can start to search and learn to begining to the advanced, can you pass me the topics to study?
But if i know the Delta(S) of the missile while it burn, the distance that it burn, and end the burning and use Torricelli
If some missile burn for certain km, and use it with Vf^2=Vo^2+2aS?
