I have also had the experience of using Missles 2-4 for one Apache in PVP

Actually now this is intended. TGP lightning EO-PRE MAN = TMS-Up SOI switch to WPN AUTO = TGP stays after TMS-UP SOI and handsover the target too the maverick

~200mm heat penetration are not for armor?

Unfortunately this is not yet the case, the modes make no difference in principle, the harm always goes 40nm active and searches in an area over 180° which can always lead to difficulties. my opinion on the INS would also be that it is presented very pesimistically, the scattering is around 5nm, it should rather be in the range of a few hundred meters.

And where does it say under what conditions the missle should be able to do this? As I said, our aim120 can achieve these values if the conditions are right Btw Wiki ist not a source

And that is more or less the case. Be 30-45,000 feet high at least 1.5m fast gives the missle 20° loft and yeet the thing away.

Source? And could you shed more light on the problematic situation?

What is the exact situation? Track or tacview?

So, even if the F-16's GPS is off and the INS has drifted by several hundred meters, the bomb should have no problem finding the target again at the actual coordinates if there is sufficient approach time In this example, after the artificial drift that I add and then look at the wrong target, you can see the coordinates displayed in the TGP 41-50-529 41-47-884 and this is the exact position of the actual target in the center from the X, yet the bomb flies to the left target Should the bomb still fly to the target in the center when it receives fresh data from the GPS?

Perhaps this also has something to do with it. but are these “old” airplanes? does this mean that they were set in the ME before the Datalink update? does this also happen in new missions where “fresh” airplanes are available?

How could it be any simpler? And since il2 was mentioned here, there is actually no difference after the start up and this can also be carried out automatically in dcs. DCS even has the advantage that you can click on certain systems without having to remember which key you have assigned to them.

ah now I've got it, will look

See the bug report, there is basically no difference between 3 modes that changes the behavior of the AGM-88. it is always active 40nm before target and 180°Seeker search Area

exactly that! example:

Things like this are basically going to be global so yes we can assume that

Okay if it only happens with the old miz it should only be limited to "old" f16/18 and new ones fix it completely? Thx!

Thanks I could finally reproduce it with this miz! So for new F18/16 too? What do I have to set in the f16/f18 so that the own data link is displayed, when I test it with new ones I have not yet been able to reproduce this.

that's basically my point i would be in favor of a different method because that way, you can't shoot at helicopters in DCS no matter how optimal the conditions would be and the seeker can Lock this target, here i would be more in favor of a relative dynamic distance limit than a hard Line,because you can currently Track and shoot at tanks at 15-20nm with these old Mavs. with the other things i agree with you about and thank you for the interesting documents!

I didn't refer so much to the different missles, in fact I was more focused on the modern version. when it comes to the older missles you are of course right that the limitations should be greater in terms of pure tracking. I think and your document shows this very well(and thus you have provided direct proof), the pilot might still be able to roughly recognize the target but the seeker has problems to distinguish the contrast at such a large distance, which is why he can hardly or no longer Lock the target from 5nm, thanks for that. but I would still say that you can shoot at a helicopter within 5nm if the contrast is high enough for the missle and that the targets do not exceed the kinematic limits for an immobile maverick the thing here is, why are there speed gates? if the target is within 5nm(or depending on the size of the helicopter 3-4nm for small and 5-6nm for large) even the older misses should be able to lock a helicopter, how does an IR/TV seeker know how fast the helicopter flying directly towards you is ? it only sees a contrast that hardly moves.

Hello it seems there have been changes here, tracks One and Three the Missle Hits now can you test it again and share your experiences? The values in which the Aim120 can reacquire the target 2 times have probably changed from my observation and also seem more dynamic, the closer to the ground the more difficult. that means before the rv was ~100knots and now the missle can reacquire the target in track 3 scenario already at rv:36 knots

The fact that you can display the RWR on another screen without breaking the IC is very important, especially for cockpit builders

Other sensors? For example, can I create a track with the TGP and then I or a wingman can shoot an Aim120 on it? Is it also possible to triangulate several RWRs with each other and create a track and shoot it?

Ah, okay, that might explain it. Also that it's not visible on some servers. So if servers are still using "old" f16/18 they just need to be recreated it, in the ME and the error doesn't appear? I hope that's it. Are these "old" f16/18 in your miz?
