Welcome to the action!

I actually managed to hit the Huey 4 Times with the igla and it was still flying ^^ Sadly i havent recorded it but it was the Shooting Range on Caucasus. Even with its small explosive Mass i think one igla should be enough to atleast damage the tail rotor enough so that the Huey atleast has to land or lose control.

Okay i just wanted to make sure whats the current state on that. I guess it needs fine tuning, as i made this test i realised too, that it seems to work better for longer distances and higher altitudes. I guess it needs more fine tuning for lower altitudes and smaller distances as i am pretty sure it is wasting more energy this way as it preserves. For now i will just try to keep these aspects at their optimum (alt, speed, angle etc.) But yeah the energy state got much better with this update!

Okay so i was able to make further tests... I launched at different distances --> every missile did loft (even at 19 nm), the lofting behaviour wasnt the same (the further the distance the further the loft), which is not suprising. But for me the amount the missiles are lofting is! For a shot of round about 20nm at 41k ft with 0.97 M the missile did loft to 58k ft. I just feel like the loft is to strong and wasting to much energy and time. I have no experience in this area but i would think an phoenix missile would be able to fly 40nm at 40k ft without lofting? For the 2v2 engagements it was interesting for me because it seems with lower altitude the loft gets more extreme... Also i did record some tacview files (fifth missile i shot in active mode just for the fun of it) Tacview-20221108-105454-DCS-F-14B_IA_PG_BVR.zip.acmi Tacview-20221108-110150-DCS-F14 Phoenix.zip.acmi Tacview-20221108-110743-DCS-F14 Phoenix.zip.acmi Tacview-20221108-105158-DCS-F-14B_IA_PG_BVR.zip.acmi Tacview-20221108-104821-DCS-F-14B_IA_PG_BVR.zip.acmi

I have a question, whenever i fly as RIO with a Pilot our Phoenix Missiles loft like crazy. This way it looses all its energy and is therefore useless, even if we and the enemy are at 20k ft and only about 20-30 nm apart. I did forget to record tacview, i can post it within next week as i dont have much time right now. But maybe i am just forgetting something so you might be able to help me. Missile speed gate was set to Nose QTR and we launched in TWS-Mode.
