Pocket Sized Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Video rewatch count up to 6-7. I can't describe how much I love LN right now. They keep us in the dark for months... they could have just released a few panning shots of the cockpit with a caption that said "coming soon" but they went above and beyond, as usual... Imagine if, a few days before release (after the pre-purchase), they released a continuation of the video. It would show a few seconds of wedding footage that cuts back to the same majestic dark shots we got. Then, the music builds, the scene lights up, and the quality fades to HD. Slowly the scene evolves to in game footage and a "regular" trailer ensues (various shots of it flying/blowing stuff up) *sigh* and I was supposed to be productive today... not gonna happen lol 1 DCS modules are built up to a spec, not down to a schedule. In order to utilize a system to your advantage, you must know how it works.
renhanxue Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 True, but the BK90 would probably be banned from the current BlueFlag 80s round. :D When was it introduced btw? Development mostly complete by 1991, final series production deliveries in spring 1997. Also, you know the submunition designations, MJ1 and MJ2? They're Inception acronyms, because MJ expands to MUSJAS which expands to Multi Splitter JAS (and JAS expands to Jakt Attack Spaning, as we all know). Surely you must be joking, FMV. Gonna post the Bk90 systems description in a bit.
impeller Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 !!! Omg, omg omg.. I sooo hyped right now. When I saw the vid, I actually bursted out a WWWIIEEE in the car Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk

Hook47 Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 So can the nay Sayers against LNS release strategy now agree that it was worth it? LOL

Now they need to make a even cooler trailer before release. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Snail Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 My first appearance here, I have a lot of reading to do, to match up. In short: I am a big Viggen fan and I welcome every '37 in the virtual skies. Currently I fly the JA37Di in BMS, my 'baby' ;-) How (s)low can you go
microvax Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Beskrivning Bombkapsel M90 MJ2 is not guided as far as I can tell. Yeah, its weird. The swedish wiki [https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWS_39#Konstruktion_och_funktion] describes it like something that works like the skeets on the cbu97 and honestly I would expect that from a 18kg bomblet. The heaviest submunition, apart from the dual shaped charge anti runway bomb, the MW1 on the Tornado, which uses the same 132mm calibre, is something like 4,5kg and is a anti tank mine [MIFF, MUSA and MUSPA are similar.]. Not to even talk about the KB44 which is a unguided anti vehicle/tank submunition which has a smaller size by far. So, ye, I dunno, if one of the DEVs could enlight us here. I mean I do not trust the wiki, but judging by the size and weight and time period it should be guided, anything else woule seem quite weird to me. o.0 okay I did translate myself through the regarding sections and you seem to be correct, no targeting process on part of the submunitions :}. I guess EFP and big size together with the wron wiki article made it look too feasable. :D Especially looking at the different approach of rather having 24 very heavy bomblets then loads of small bomblets is something which is surprising to me.

RagnarDa Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Beskrivning Bombkapsel M90 MJ2 is not guided as far as I can tell. Good catch! I though it was guided too. I will remove the guidance on the MJ2s. DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
Schmidtfire Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Sorry if this has already been posted, but here is a short film on the BK90/DWS39 :)
microvax Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Good catch! I though it was guided too. I will remove the guidance on the MJ2s. One of my eyes is laughing for accuracy, the other one is crying for less effective cluster munitions. :cry::lol:. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *unexpected flight behaviour* Oh shiii*** ! What ? Why ?

Sim Flyer Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I have got one question about the radar of the AJS37 Viggen and its use in A-A engagements that hopefully someone here can answer. As i have understood then the A-A part of the radar is exactly the same as the A-G, the radar have just been "turned" to look up instead of down. Am i wrong to assume that this radar will be "useless" against low flying aircraft as they will just dissapear into the "ground"?
MikeMikeJuliet Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I'll make a prediction. The numbers on the video. Official announcement will come 28th this month (next weeks friday), and the release is two weeks from that, that is, 11th of november. That makes for a 3 and a half weeks timeline for release, and would fit quite nicely to what Cobra has said about the release schedule. Regards, MikeMikeJuliet DCS Finland | SF squadron

As i have understood then the A-A part of the radar is exactly the same as the A-G, the radar have just been "turned" to look up instead of down. Am i wrong to assume that this radar will be "useless" against low flying aircraft as they will just dissapear into the "ground"? Will depend on how close to the ground the target is (and how close it is to you) and what filters you are using. But the radar should not be worse in Air-Air then the radar on the Mig-21Bis is in someways (and it should probably be better at low altitude then the Mig-21s radar as its radar pretty much blanks out at lower altitudes). But two important things to take into account are the following. First. The Swedish doctrine for the Attack Viggens (AJ and AJS) were to fly at low altitudes during combat missions (with only the pop up before attack being higher) so the standard flight altitude would tend to be between 20-100m during the majority of a combat mission so any hostile aircraft would have to be either above or at the same altitude. And second the AJ 37 was not a fighter its an attack aircraft with some air-air capabilities and able to do secondary fighter missions if needed and fighters are busy else where those types of missions would generally have been limited to attacking Helicopters or unescorted bombers / Transports but primarily the Air-Air capabilities are for self defence. Its also very likely that "skill" will take a part in seeing low altitude aircraft (if you were to be above aircraft looking down with the radar) since they are still likely to have an effect on the radar screen its just a matter of recognising what is displayed. The AJS 37s radar/computer does not see something and then convert it into the icon of an aircraft to your radar display (Like the other Radar equipped aircraft in DCS atm) it simply shows you if there is something within the search area. If the backdrop is a clear sky it will show clearly as the only things the radar is impacting on are those aircraft so they will show up as blips on an empty radar display but if the aircraft in question has ground as a backdrop the pilot will have to try and tell apart what is an aircraft and what is simply part of the ground return (Filters should help slightly with this procedure). So it should still be possible to be used against low flying target it just depends on the exact ranges / altitudes as well if the pilot is able to read what the display is showing him. But it also remains to be seen exactly how the Air-Ground search radar will work in game terms (how well the game is able to simulate everything).

Skitter Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I wonder if they are going to implement the second pilot seat, for the reconnaissance version ?
Agremont Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I wonder if they are going to implement the second pilot seat, for the reconnaissance version ? We're only getting the AJS37.
Goblin Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I wonder if they are going to implement the second pilot seat, for the reconnaissance version ? The recon versions are single seat. The trainer and later jammer versions are two seat. But I haven't heard anything about other versions...
das Rindvieh Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Well... Viggen on 11th November kind of confirmed? :D 28. at 11 O´clock: Announcement and Pre-Order 28.11.: Release my guess ;)
Skitter Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 The recon versions are single seat. The trainer and later jammer versions are two seat. But I haven't heard anything about other versions... Well, I visited a museum in Sweden , near Malmö and had a close look at the reconnaissance version there and definitely there was a guy seating in the Vigen's nose! Seemed like the camera operator to me:
