As always those maximum mach numbers are a best case scenario and in most cases the missile will not even get close to it. But in a best case scenario it can. I got the R.530s to go mach 3, though that is from a jet going Mach 2. And getting the F1 to mach 2 with a full missile load takes a while. Tacview calls the 530s R3 btw.

Its reliable in DCS as well as long as you fly the plane right.

Mine pretty much always relights, as long as it isnt damaged. Are you sure your engine is only flamed out and not destroyed? You can destroy the engine when going to fast for example.

I do love those threads. Ed has years of reasearch and coding, SME's that have flown the real thing as a job and access to the real helicopter and so on. But no, they are wrong and my proof is that i saw a Youtube video of a Hind..... Honestly, do you really believe that? BTW, i have no problem with either takoff or landing.

Yeah, the ZSU-23-4 shilka is indeed radar guided. The ZU-23-2 this thread is about is not.

As has been pointed out, its not the ZU-23-2 specifically. Any Ground unit even set at lowest skill will be way to accurate when engaging air. Even M113s with their single M2 while driving at full speed or soldiers firing Ak-74s. Especially noticable when flying helicopters. The problem is that the ground AI is extremly simpel. They get a perfect Lead from the game and than a random mumber generator decides if they aim right at this this perfect lead point or slightly miss it. However the game makes no difference between what kind of target they shoot at. So the Ground AI will hit or miss a stationary tank just as often as a helicopter flying at 300 kp/h. None of that is a secret or new information, the AI has many problems and ED says they will improve it in the future.

You can remove the boxes in the Mission Editor. But i agree that this would be better as a special option.

He, the old airpower.at site. I remember that from back in the day. Mind you that the page you linked is almost 20 years old and only shows planned weapons.
