i told him to tell me when he fired the missile to move and as soon as he fired he told me and started moving to avoid this and yet here we are
Its not a very good missile then if it decides to track something when I have locked it on to a target on the ground. If it’s locked to the ground it should hit the ground.
No they arent. If they were, the POINT and TRACK locks would occur at the same range. They dont, because the seeker lock range for the ground is ~40km, while the seeker lock range for targets is ~20km.
This is literally how it works ingame atm.
Same. But just 1. No one can see 2. Impossible to lock.
I still have to get a tracking lock on a moving vehicle in test drive with 38MT at more than 13km away.
Nevermind, you’re right they’re different on the Kh-38MT, i was looking at the wrong missile. In the clip you sent though it’s still within the max range for regular locks though, so it’s not the best showcase for it. Also to the point of what i was originally saying, it’s still technically LOBL. It matters on some weapons, since some A2G weapons won’t start guidence before a proper lock, which in this case it’s still providing against a fixed point.
so basically it locks the ground and as soon as it locks the ground it locks the vehicle right after i fire so its like it dosent lock the vehicle but it does at the same time lmao, seems for the most part a bug from the locking itself
TRACK lock range is ~13 km, 0.1° sensor FoV means at that range it’s ~23 m in diameter. You’re not moving that distance from a standstill in the time it takes the missile to travel 3 km. If it was tracking the vehicle off the rail it would say “TRACK”. That’s the purpose of that indicator.
Missiles will switch from POINT to TRACK lock if a target is in their FoV. I posted a video earlier of a Maverick doing so from a ~23 km launch.
Not at the same time. Use the indicator the game gives you to determine the range you can acquire a TRACK lock at. That’s what it’s for.
I remember when this thread was about a missile that may not actually exist 🥀

thats the whole point were trying to prove??
then it cant lock it, can it? what would that test do besides prove it has a finite FoV?
But the range of a tracking lock is around 13km in almost every case, which is the point here.

we all seem to be talking about something else here and idk where that 13km number comes from but that just made up, ive had track locks way further then 13km.
Glop of nothingness being discussed like it’ll help either way.
Track locks further than 13km can happen but counting on that isn’t something you should do.
Considering you thought the thing from the clip was actually a tracking lock makes me wonder.
then you didnt saw the clip or youre lying. The missile indeed didnt have a track lock when i fired it, and i never claimed that, but got one during flight, thats why you can CLEARLY see the missile following the FlakRakRad, and didnt just go straight.
As I said earlier, if there’s a vehicle in it’s FoV at the moment it can establish a track lock, it will do so regardless if it was fired from 15, 20 or 30km away.
Firing outside of that constant ~13km track lock range is risky due to obvious reasons, as target can just move outside the missile’s FoV and it’s game over.
thank you for the obvious, nobody denied that.
Your friend did, multiple times. The entire point of this was to show a TRACK lock that matches the ranges he claimed them to be possible at.
