Hi guys I cant find this info anywhere. I underdtand altitiude and manouvering makes a difference but at a base line could anyone tell me the effective range of the 120c R27et and 27 er based on say launched from 20k feet at a target notching at a lower altitude? im only new but it seems so often pointless in firing anything over 10 nm :(

Thanks again for the help guys. Can someone confirm if your RWR only detects radar that is actually pinging your aircraft, or does it show any radar signals irrelevant of weather or not you are actually being pinged? The way I thought it was the former, so essentially if you see someone on your RWR, it means they can see you, via their radar? Or is it more complex? Thanks again

Wow thanks, thats very handy to know. So essentially, shots outside of 15 miles, regardless of altitude are a waste? Seems very short for an AMRAAM. Do the SU27 missiles pose similar problems?

Hi Guys, Im new to DCS and I have read the entire F15C manual over and played single player. I have no trouble using all the types of Radar in multiplayer and I quite often find my self in an advantageous position over enemy aircraft. My question is, what am I doing wrong to not score kills? So in this scenario I was cruising at around 41,000 ft and I locked up an enemy F15 who was around 20,000 ft he was coming toward me. I got to within 18nm and fire 2x AIM120C's and continued my path toward him, the missiles went active right as he locked me up so I banked right to get out of there this was at around 12nm between us... he fired on me, I went defensive but lost out but he didnt get hit by my 120's? Did I fire too early? I mean I thought I had a huge hight advantage , my missles going down, his going up.. Other situations I have been in are similar but with me being not so high, get the drop on enemy aircraft and fire at between 15-20nm but my missiles always seem to miss and im forced defensive because they lock and fire on me. Thanks for the help in advance.
