you are looking at point lock not vehicle track
It being already small and having reduced RCS should make it “stealthy” enough to only be picked up at close range and maybe giving it a chance to penetrate SAM defense depending on player reaction time. But if its modeled like other ordinance in game where it’s spotted on release then its very DOA

Nope it’s definitely vehicle track.
I’ll send the videos in a moment.
That sounds like a point lock and not a vehicle track. But i’m prepared to be proven wrong if that’s not the case :P
you’re not gonna be because in engine it the seeker is not allowed to lock onto tanks
"targetRadiusMin": 10.0
True, and from what I heard its modeled like other ordinance so far in dev, doesn’t have delayed lock like F117.
Well, stranger bugs have happened before :P
Somebody should bug report that if there is a source clearly stating low observability. Also radars in general overperforme with detecting ordinance especially things like the gbu-39 that should have tiny RCS

The fact that this isn’t modeled in game shows that there’s no point in bug reporting rcs for AGM-154C. That would then cause everyone to argue for rcs values for all bombs and missiles and Gaijin would be too lazy to do all that. It seems that they only do this for stealth planes like F-117. I mean look at planes and how they calculate RCS, its so fake already

I am not used to make bug reports
and I did try to find any source that I could find of the F16 with JSOW

Cant wait for Gaijin to shove 5th gen fighters into the game and for “stealth” mechanics BS to ensue…
Gaijin just reduced the lock range for F-117. With the way RCS is calculated in game, they would just reduce the multipliers and call it a day.
Huh… I guess you can’t upload MOV files to the forums, do you have a discord I can send these two or anything like that? Or are you in the Snailmine discord because that’d work too.
Let me see if I can convert them into MP4s, give me a sec.
I have the Comanche and from my experience you are either as visible as any other plane or you can hover 3km away form a BUK radar and they have no idea you are there, very inconsistent (all without using the external missiles btw)

The f16c pobit can carry 4 JSOW so i have no idea why gaijin limits us to 2 and on the same pylon as the mavericks.

Man, Gaijin screwing the US at this point has basically become a laughable cycle. And while I respect there’s staff trying to salvage this DOA display somehow, it is so damn clear it insults one’s inteligence when trying to prove otherwise.

I don’t give out my discord and i do not download/open files that i don’t know exactly what they are and trust the sender of. You could upload them to youtube and have them unlisted so that only people with the link can view the video. Or alternatively upload them to “imgur” and share the link perhaps.
They’re not accepting the PIDS bug too, so F16 stuck with only 6 Aim120D and 2 JSOW, its so DoA.

Sorry about the wait, and for the poor video quality, getting it through Xbox then discord is a hassle to say the least… Also fair enough about the discord thing.
As you can see at about ~10.5-6km out it switches from Point to Vehicle Track, the 2nd clip (which is the same launch just had a hard time getting it all in two clips) you can see it track the moving BTR well past 1.5km from it. ^^
