Shouldn't the pipper be wind-corrected? It doesn't look like so in oldcrusty video

It has been mentioned several times that IRL it's possible to integrate HARM seeker targeting information into Hornet's MSI. I'm actually intriguingly interested on understanding better the way this data is integrated with the rest. Is bearing-only information or there is some crude geolocation? Is it possile to TGT'ing it? Is it visible in SA page only? With which other data feed it does integrate? (RWR?)

An helicopter should be difficult to detect and lock, but not because of the speed, but for the relatively low radar signature. As it has been stated several times in this thread, rotor blades returns a very distinguish signature easy to pick up by Doppler radars, it should be independent of general Helo speed

Any news on the potential FM rework?

The best way to shoot down a Helo is using a GBU-10

Yeah, CEP is not modelled in basically any guided ammunition in DCS

I would recommend to post the evidence in the bugs section to have proper trackability.

So, according to this source, after the sucessful employment of the rushed pre-production assets during ODS, the SLAM saw a small facelift in 1993 named SLAM P3I (Pre-Planned Product Improvement), in what would become the definitive SLAM standard used in Bosnia and other 90's conflicts. This version apparently included an improved autopilot plus other QoL enhancements. Since the article I mentioned before mentions a "newly GPS-only guidance tactics" and didn't say a word about new hardware been tested, I would assume that this improved version could indeed support a GPS-only attack although it was not common practise until very late in the operational life of the missile, and that a Bosnian/Kosovo kind of SLAM standard could fit very well with this capability, although an early ODS variant will likely not. And yeah, 0.0 CEP is not correct, neither for SLAM or JDAM or any other weapon in game, hopefully ED will gradually improve guidance realism with CEP modeling at some point.ç Regards

Wow you really want the world burn!

So, apparently AGM-84E GPS-only accuracy was not that bad and indeed, it might perform more closely now than in the initial implementation https://man.fas.org/dod-101/sys/smart/docs/tst_c21299.htm Best regards

Nice substantial report! Unfortunately the AUTO mechanics are not trivial and therefore I expect ED to take their time to model it properly

Currently TWS AUTO centers the scan to L&S target. In reality it should center on the centroid of the established track files. I can provide evidence via PM if needed.

I just want a F/A-18C++ Object Oriented Hornet

It would be nice to guide SLAM-ER or any other MITL weapon from a diferent aircraft than the original vector. This capability is very real and profusely used in recent conflicts.

Hi @Vibora Do you plan to bring the ex-qatar F1EQA (the ones acquired by the EdA in 1994) at some point? They had some AG advanced capabilities, like CCIP bombing modes.

I don't really understand the relationship between ccip and GPS availability... It should feed from the AGR or, if not available, the radio altimeter.

Third parties (e.g. Heatblur) have developed in some cases quite complex INS drift simulations. I would expect nothing less from ED.

I agree, it's a fundamental feature of MITL weapons, hopefully ED will implement the needed interfaces soon (JF-17 suffers same problem)

Is this modeled in DCS?

Honestly, ED should drop the AG classification filtering for SAM interceptions and just take into account store RCS regardless the type

What is the peculiarity of this missile compared with the existing Sparrows?

Has the seeker logic changed as well? It's more realistically modelled in the F-16

There quite a bunch of highly expected bugfixes and features to come more important that the Slam-er, if you ask me

Is it possible to disable Link 16 in the mission editor?

Is the Shrike still been considered? And the Walleye I?
