Yeah that actually annoys me a lot, being ED's API I would have expected a more complete realization of the AG Radar (It's not Deka fault). I know, WIP, but still...
Gotcha, thanks. I see LD10 now more like a self-defence weapon, Sidearm alike, than a SEAD missile. Although ACT make use of the INS, if you know the precise location of the emitter, I would use a different weapon to strike
Yes, but normally you don't know where the air defense equipment is, but you may have a clear identification in the RWR. Just imagine Serbia campaign, when SEAD squadrons where appointed to bring down all the SA-6 mobile air defenses. It doesn't make sense that pilots can't just tell the missile to which emitter it should guide.
Yes, but youtube videos featuring JF-17 RL flight sims said wrong. Moreover, barometric altimeters don't provide such accuracy, specially at high altitudes
It's a personal opinion, but I think it would be way more interesting a F-117 sim with "relaxed realism" out of the DCS ecosystem, where some licenses are taken. Think of a "Microprose F-117 3.0"
I'm sorry, but LD-10 mechanics just don't make sense for a modern ARM:
- None of the modes allows you to choose the target that the missile will track
- Pilot have zero control on the final target acquired and destroyed - a real friendly-fire problem
- Not even possible to stablish radar filters, to priorize the radar signals to attack.
- I don't undertand SP mode, how does the missile know which emissor locked your aircraft? what happen when several RWR contacts have a lock on you at the same time?
Plus, LD-10 have an incredible accuracy even when radar emissor switch off the radar mid-course. This might be OK for ACT mode (since you shoot to a specific geographical location) but shouldn't be in other modes PAS and SP.
It looks weird that compass and coordinates can't be shown, since it's synthetically produced in the pod and injected into Hornet's screen as TV signal, it doesn't have anything to do with Hornet MC OFP
Let's make a big fuzz on changes that nobody cares about, so maybe customer base forgets the relevant, gameplay breaking and probably more difficult to fix bugs that they are continously reporting.

Hi!
I'm looking for a nice complete book about the Panavia tornado: history, development, technical features and operational experiences
There isnt many books about the aircraft to begin with, so my hopes are low, but I'm a true lover and it's worth to try
Best regards
It provides a range estimation, since SPJ is able to measure not only azimuth but only emitter elevation. It has errors though, specially over hilly terrains and on AA targets.
