One major drawback of the A-model was the limited range at which the TV-seeker could lock on: although the missile has a range of up to 7nm (13km) under the worst possible circumstances (a low and slow aircraft), attenuation at optical wavelengths limits lock-on range to about 3nm (5.5km). Furthermore, the AGM-65A needs 4-8 seconds to lock on, which is an eternity on the modern battlefield. This is the citation from this Falcon4.0 page: http://www.f-16.net/f-16_armament_article4.html This is for A version The AGM-65K missiles should be an updated derivative of AGM-65G. G's guidance section would be replaced with a 480x480 pixels CCD-TV sensor, the same used in H models, plus modern hardware and software. CCD-TV sensor will provide mainly clearer picture and longer standoff range.

http://www.navy.mil/navydata/fact_display.asp?cid=2200&tid=500&ct=2 Range: 17 nautical miles I know that this range is still not precise accurate, but still there is a huge defference in range. Some may say that one thing is range to fly and the other is to lock to target range. But there is one simple question. Why we than have big heavy missile with big range to fly if it could lock target only on 3nm distance?? A-10 campaign include both types of AGM-65D/K. I cant choose load at campaign. And I can destroy Shilkas with GAU-8 canon easy!

I know that TV camera inside AGM-65K isnt perfect, but still 3nm is allmost half range what it should be by Raytheon sources. Everytime I try suppres some close range SAMs with AGM-65K I´ve been allmost killed. 5nm could be perfect!!

Please, if somedbody know how to fix this, i will be glad. For now, Im going from one *.lua to another and searching for this script.

I cant believe Im so stupid =) Im sorry AGM-65K....3nm ...5,5km but still, it should be at least about 5nm. =( Someone put its range to absolutley minimum.

At FC2.0 there are two types of AGM-65 usable for A-10: AGM-65D.... infra guided AGM-65K.... TV guided Raytheon source range data of average AGM-65: 20km range from 15000ft 12km at ground level http://www.ausairpower.net/AGM-65-Maverick-Charts-S.jpg FC2.0 encyclopedia data: AGM-65D....8-16km AGM-65K....5-10km FC2.0 simulation range capable to lock target: (nice weather, noon, wehicle on the runway) AGM-65D.... 8km AGM-65K.... 3km Why the lock range is so short at FC?? Thanks to this wrong range, A-10 is far less dangerous on a virtual battlefield than he actualy is in real battle!
