I think so, that rolling is excesive from my non expert pov. OTH you should try a repair first because i cant recall experiencing such a extreme roll after aim 9 launches (sorry not at home for some days so i cant test it myself). Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Great, so there's actually a button for that... I've just posted a similar question in another thread because I find the current behavior so inconvinient that I could not believe that functionality does not work in the real aircraft

Shouldn't the DOGFIGHT switch default to the 9X when loaded? This is by far the most inconvinient thing i've found the in F16 which btw is great in the hornet. Also why by default the aim9x is not slaved to the JHMCS and you need to go press the OSB? Basically when i'm in a situation when a bogey is really close and i need to go DOGFIGHT mode i need to do the following: Step 0- Go long press of weapon selector switch to change 120C to 9X, the A or B A: Go TMS-up to lock the bandit and launch the aim9x (Warning the bandit if he has not seen me yet) B: Take my eyes off him in order to go press the OSB from slave to Bore, in order to acquire him with the 9x seeker and JHMCS (Cage/uncage). How do you guys do this? For the time being i've mapped the OSB switch to my HOTAS but it is a lot of buttons presses in such situation. The hornet is so simple... you just select the 9X look at the bandit, uncage the 9X and boom he is dead in 1 second.

The hornet do some weird thing at times regarding weapon launches and roll tendency, I guess its WIP.

Ok so you are comparing it to the current f16 version of the PAF. I say this because a block 70 f16 is an AESA equipped fighter. But even though take into account that Jf17 being so light it comes with many operational limitatios, specially range and weapon payload, which would not be the case in a block 70 f16.

Not at all, you are right, it should be a very scientific and factual discussion rather than a political one, poor wording on my part.

As far as I know PAF is plannimg to buy block 70 f16 as his main fighter. And what do you mean by superior in ALL aspects..., i can already tell you more than 3 main aspects of a fighter in which the jf17 cannot be superior no matter how good the weapons and electronics are, even electromics are limited by its size (ej. Radar aperture and kw) Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

I would love to see and hear about that kind discussion. I'm sure you will all get to a middle ground. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Not at all, the SD10 as of the latest OB clearly outperforms the 120C by a wide margin. The AIM120C is better now though.

Well that is partially true, the JF17 is a very light fighter, thought as a complement to a first line fighter (the f16 in this case) and so it comes with all the operational shortcoming of its light design. It is a proof though on how modern technology can turn a small fighter into a lethal system, and I'm enjoying it a lot these days.

EXP and RAID modes are different in RL but that is not currently well simulated in DCS so basically they are more or less the same thing, a zoom function over an specific area.

Its definitely happening and I'm not sure how to reproduce it but it is related to the logic switching from a TWS AUTO back to RWS by pressing the OSB button. If Im able to reproduce it I will post a track.

Merry Christmas! Hope you the best in the upcoming year. Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

For the aim120C at least ive really experienced a deadlier missile with lots of kills in mp while in good parameters (<11nm low altitude). The aim120b on the other hand still seems super short ranged... Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

Have you experienced a lower peak mach in the 120C? That would be indeed odd.

Certainly the process of elevating track files to system files is quite cumbersome and slow in the viper specially when you are relatively close to a bogey. On the other hand I always thought and heard that the APG73 was a better set that the APG68 and maybe that is one of the reasons (also slightly better detection range).

Looks like a controller issue, look in your windows control pannel if that specific button is "flashing" when you press it. You could also: -Try assigning the missile launch to a different button -Check that is not double mapped inadvertently

However, I must say that the manual mode in the F18 I find it superior to the F16 TWS, as it allows you to not loose target with an offset for one side, even more if you have a high target ageing it turns out you can cover more than lets say 40 degrees (I normally use 40 degrees 4 bars) to each side of a target by moving the TDC alternatively to each side of your L&S before a target disappear. Also the TWS in the hornet is just so much quicker than in the viper, I'm just loving it and even stopped using RWS at all, since the TWS manual mode allows you so much more tactically... All in all I must say i'm quite impressed with it, and totally loving it.

A bit dissapointing then, that does not reflect a 10/20% increase in range not even a 1%/2%... Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

I've shot more than 15 aim120 in blue flag, all over Mach 1 shot at less than 10-12 miles head on, the results have been really poor with only 3 kills even one non maneuvering target running away at 3.5 miles. The aim120c on the other hand i got 3 kills out of 3 shots in a different server, all around 12 miles, it actually seems like a bit better in range though it could be placebo effect ofc.

Is this confirmed?

This is a nice surprise ED! Thanks. But can't help but ask myself? Are there still planned changes to be made on January as explained by Wags recently? For example regarding Lofting logic and navigation logic. Regards,

New AMRAAM this has to be a Christmas Gift :p

Is this true? Does the A has superior T/W than a C model? Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk

So you go stt and break lock inmediately? Never tried that Enviado desde mi SM-G950F mediante Tapatalk
