40nm+ range to shoot. Could A-pole it if you try hard for about 25-30nm.

IN FC3 the R-77 is already bad. Why reduce it more? Here's a better idea. Make a mod to fix both the AIM-120 and R-77 in FC3 and you will be hero. :D:D

No way. Even night missions are now very much doable. A few nights ago, we had a designated OA-10C with IR pointer spotting SAMS for me in a Ka-50 with Night Goggles. Brilliant it was.!

Where's the track?

This does nothing but add bias to an argument that should have NO bias ie. missile dynamics. :(

THere are some servers out there that get good numbers. I think it is also a problem for stability of the DCSW client. Remember, a lot of people have moved onto DCSW. You guys are still talking about FC2 right?

No... it is not a "mad dog". It is guided much of the initial way. EDIT: At these ranges, at the altitude of the F-15C (~10,000m) the clean (no ECM) Bandit is just BEGGING to be shot out of the sky. BEGGING for it! Ironically in FC3/DCSW, this shot would never work properly... the 120 would turn to a stone after the direction change after the loft.

I saw that vid.... You called it Mad Dog. Which is absolutely wrong.... (the 120 was guided I can see it manoeuvring.) Also where is the ECM on the player -4c-Ragnorak? This would not allow a TWS shot from that range. I thought your other video was better, though. :D It seems the 120 is not so good really. :music_whistling:

lol 60km? I have a hard time nailing opponents from 20km..... GOOD opponents I might add. If you're hitting human fliers from 60km, I'd like to have your F-15C and your AIM-120 please.... or maybe your opponents just like flying towards the flashing lights. :D

What about the NK-32? I think they are ~30,000 Dry?

Maybe that little monkey guy they were blasting into space will be the pilot? lol

Yeah... in FC2 when you picked a new plane while damaged, the kill was registered. In FC3 unfortunately the kill is not registered in the 'Pool' or on server messages when this happens.

The 104th for example would permanetly ban someone who did this constantly.

Best decision ever. :D

Probably PS-90's? Or D-30's?

I wonder what engines it has?

Jeez bro, it says Mt. Elbrus. You know... ~ the DCS World Map. :thumbup:

Quick, timely pull of the stick, AIM-54 wasted. Ironically, it's active seeker makes it easier. Now.... fire 2 or 3 of them in close succession.... that's a different story. :P

Yes. It is the 4K51 Rubezh Launcher. The missile that it fires in this video I'm not sure. It can fire a few different types. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afvOZQcs01M

.... newflash. The Latest DF-XX incarnations have realtime guidance to moving targets.

I haven't read the thread, but I remember reading somewhere that Kopp had material interests in some contractors that MIGHT get work from upgrading F-111's :music_whistling:

Well yes, but those Ground based sams always suffer from ambiguity. As does all radar installations. Ambiguity correlates with pulse length and range and is limited by the Radar band itself and by the switching gear in the radar set. The more advanced Theatre level SAMS are moving to TVM.

I think the biggest advantage of an L-band radar is the detection of very long range conventional RCS targets at the horizon with limited steering required. Any Stealthy detection would only be an afterthought and only considered a bonus, regardless of what PR folks might say. So basically the L-band is simply an augmentation of the conventional X-band nose mounted radar. That's my guess. If you want genuine Stealth Detection, consider VHF-HF ground installations.
