Archer_02 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I was wondering what's up with the LA thing. Sometimes I get it right after lock-on, others I use a missile with a range of 50+ km and don't get LA till around 10. At first I thought "LA" accualy meant someone in the control room was telling you when to launch, but after a while I realized it was mroe than snoozing people with mics. Still couldn't figure it out, and forgot about it until I read this, taken from Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-to-air_missile Scroll untill you hit "missile range". Very intresting read for me. :joystick: The "almost perfect landing"
NEODARK Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 yes, its true.. BUT, it also happens that sometimes it WILL NOT come on no matter what, even if the launch parameters are all good. thus why its good to have launch override mapped :D
Archer_02 Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 OMG there's a launch override? Wow... Can't believe I never saw that before. What section is it in? Hah! IN YOUR FACE sleeping people with miks...:thumbup: The "almost perfect landing"
Arbitrator Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 depend on how you set it, but the default key is alt+W, it's in the combat input option called LAUNCH PERMISSION OVERRIDE. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Home address: 81°28W, 29°85N Don't try to Waste Your Bombs and Missiles BC They are More Expensive.
Bungle_uk Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Also, if you lock on to a jamming target, the radar does not know the range and you have to set it manually based on your best guess or awacs. The moment you set it below Rmax, you will get "LA" Altitutde plays a big part in when you will see LA
Kenan Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Missile range Missiles are often cited with their maximum engagement range, which is very misleading. A missile's effective range is dependent on factors such as altitute, speed, position, and direction of target aircraft. For example the Vympel R-77 has stated range of 100 km. That's only true for a head-on, non-evading target at high altitude. At low altitude, the effective range is reduced by as much as 75%-80% to 20-25 km. If the target is taking evasive action, or in sterm-chase position, the effective range is further reduced. See Air-to-Air missile non-comparison table for more information. Poorly-trained pilots from third world countries, and mercenary pilots more interested in collecting their pay and going home alive than dead, are known to fire their missiles at maximum-range engagement with poor results. In the 1998-2000 Ethiopia-Eritrea war, fighters from both sides shot over a dozen medium-range R-27 (AA-10) missiles at distance with little effect. ^^ Recently revealed chat log between E-E pilots: Ethiopian Pilot: W0ot?!
