Snail Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Another question: is it possible to determine the 'ripple' setting of 120Kg bombs in the aircraft or is it pre-defined at startup? How (s)low can you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdurianJ Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Another question: is it possible to determine the 'ripple' setting of 120Kg bombs in the aircraft or is it pre-defined at startup? Well the bombs drop in a predetermined order from the aircraft. In the manual there's a selector on page 98 no: 9 called "Weapons Sight mode selector" on that you select the distance you want between the bombs in meters. It's goes from 10m to 30m in 5 m intervals and then to 60 in 10m intervals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Is that the distance between each bomb (or pair of bombs) or is it from the first to last bomb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdurianJ Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I just read the manual and as i understood it it was between each bomb. When you drop bombs the calculated aim point is where the two center bombs will impact bombs 4 & 5 if 8 bombs are carried or 8 & 9 if 16 bombs are carried.

AdurianJ Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 So it's one pass, all gone? Nothing to pickle along a group of vehicles? The bombs stop dropping if you let go of the trigger so it's not like the rockets you'll just have to guesstimate how many bombs will drop if you try to drop a few :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonicRipper Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I wish they would add an option in the comms menu to have your wingman follow you in close and drop their bombs on target at the same with as you to really recreate a proper Viggen strike. Otherwise they will be useless!

spiddx Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Thoughts? Sure, would be great. But at the current point I'd be glad if the wingmen would conistently start their engines and take off at mission start or refrain from CFITing for no apparent reason. That would be a start.

Otherwise they will be useless! Thoughts? I think that is a great idea. I fear that the current AI is unable to cope with low level, high threat, one pass attack operations. Gluing them on to your wing to reinforce your bomb and rocket fire would probable make them a little more worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IonicRipper Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Guess I'll keep flying solo then. I have a feeling the AI will be utterly useless in the Viggen.

Pocket Sized Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can the Viggen hold its own against enemy fighters like the SU27 and Mig 29? If the Viggen pilot is very creative and tricky, yes. Its only air to air armament is (semi) modern sidewinders. Given pilots of equal skill, absolutely not. But if all else fails you can just zone 3 the f**k out of there. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dartuil Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Viggen have no chance versus mig-29 and su-27 for me. Only if the pilot do a mistake and u get the chance, but you better get out lol. i7 2600k -- Noctua NH-D14--Asrock Z75 Pro3--ASUS GTX970 Strix --16Go Ripjaws X 1333--Thermaltake Smart M650--CoolerMaster Silencio 652S--AOC E2752VQ-- Sandisk Extreme II 480GB--Saitek X-52 Pro --SAITEK PZ35 Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaXha Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can the Viggen hold its own against enemy fighters like the SU27 and Mig 29? Not the version were getting, this is the attack variant. The fighter might have a chance but the AJS doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Can the Viggen hold its own against enemy fighters like the SU27 and Mig 29? You should make a difference between the fighter version (JA37) and the other versions like the AJS37. And between BVR and WVR situations. The only situation where the outcome would be hard to predict is in a BVR fight between JA37D's carrying AMRAAM and SU27 / MiG29. But in a WVR/Dogfight situation the Russian jets would have the advantage. Viggens were never designed for dogfighting. Maybe one exeption: in a true dogfight with cannons only, the automated Oerlikon cannon of the JA37 could be devastating in the first pass and turn.

theOden Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 .. the automated Oerlikon cannon of the JA37 could be devastating in the first pass and turn.
