rekoal Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 hey, yes i do know you can magnify using "-""+" keys but the zoom level is nothing compared to the SU-25T so i ask is the magnifaction level accurate to the real aircraft? because if it is i see it at a real disadvantage. your thoughts? rekoal
hitman Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/smart/agm-65.htm I cant find anything about magnification, although here are specs and target ranges.
ALDEGA Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 You're comparing the onboard shkval targetting system to a (small) seeker in the AGM-65 missiles...
tflash Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Yes, indeed you cannot expect 23x Mag. The Mav seeker can be slaved to a FLIR on jets that have one, giving them more standoff ID capability. This is not available on the A-10A, but will be in the A-10C [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Cobra360 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 The A-10As of now have Litening II pod which is very useful and far better in terms of range and res than the LANTIRN system.
D-Scythe Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 You're comparing the onboard shkval targetting system to a (small) seeker in the AGM-65 missiles... Well, he does have a point (to an extent). The AGM-65K should at least have the level of magnification of the AGM-65D. Actually, the AGM-65K should be renamed "AGM-65B" IMO - that's about how it performs anyway.

tflash Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 On that issue we all agree. Also on the "airbase bug", which means you cannot lock anything near an airfield with the Mav in lockon. Hope this get fixed! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Hope this get fixed! I havent noticed this. Granted, im brand spanking new to the A-10, but i was able to lock several targets on the 44th server the other day that were on the airfield while GG was giving me pointers... (Thanks GG!). Some targets were on the perimeter, some were on the field. Sams, tanks, radars... etc. Is there a specific type of target that wont lock near an airfield? TIA
SUBS17 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 How about the Maverick operation in Falcon, it has a bit more zoom similar to the 25T. Does the real A-10 have 65 functions similar to Falcon or Lockon.eg removing dust covers, power on, zoom magnification. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
S77th-GOYA Posted April 21, 2006 Posted April 21, 2006 The only airfield that has problems is Novo, as far as I've noticed. It's not limited to the exact airfield either. You can't lock on the hill near the airfield either. The problem won't manifest itself if the approach is from the right direction.

Indeed, novo has a very bizarre situation. you can not lock and get no ranging data in a rather wide area. I thought there was another airfield where I couldn't get a lock, I will check them out, but might take a while :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
