MikeMikeJuliet Posted October 20, 2016 Share 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.

mattebubben Posted October 20, 2016 Share 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"? 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).

Goblin Posted October 20, 2016 Share 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.

das Rindvieh Posted October 20, 2016 Share 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 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Schmidtfire Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 JA37 might happen as a "lighter" FC3 type module down the line. Way more interesting than the two seaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they themselves won't produce any FC3 type modules anymore. 3rd parties are free to do that afaik.

QuiGon Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Mid-late 90's. The national archives library catalog says the technical description was published in 1998, so probably around that time. Which reminds me, I should go photograph that. 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. Thank you very much! :) Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

True, but it's the only one in which the operator is sending steering commands directly to the missile as opposed to the TOW/beam riders where the missile flies itself into the center of the crosshair.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 09 could be December the 9th release.

It's MCLOS, not SACLOS. Unlike the HOT & TOW you don't just look at the target and have the missile steer itself towards whatever you aim at. The Rb 05 is more like the Bullpup, the pilot steers it directly with a little controller transmitting left-right-up-down commands to the missile via radio.
