IR AAM Changes

[rami80]

According to the latest change log the countermeasure immunity of the IR missiles has been increased. Even though the aim-9 and the r-73 have the same value, the dev is seeing the dependence is non-linear. Can't wait to for the update to come out:D

 

 

Edit: Wrote the opposite of what I meant lol

Read it again, they actually increased the CCM probability...its pretty easy to misinterpret the first few times... :P

 

Definitely going to be interesting, though!

[*Rage*]

Nice! Now if they could just do radar missiles next:)

[Stuge]

This is good news! I don't mind having higher pk for the ET :)

[*Rage*]

^ It affects R73/Aim9/Magic too:)

 

Do they mean Mica IR instead of Mika T?

[FLANKERATOR]

Yes probably MICA T; it also has the highest immunity to CM (0.2 probability) on top of the ability to be linked to the radar for silent, guided BVR shots (not sure if modeled).

 

Anyhow, the M2k is going to be a force to be reckoned with!

I thought that the mirage modeled in DCS does not have MICA capability

[FLANKERATOR]

I know the C variant is mainly A2A and uses the MICA in both flavors. In DCS, the AI one has always had MICA capability so no reason whatsoever to not have it now.

[GGTharos]

This variant does not have the MICA.

[FLANKERATOR]

My bad, mixed up the M-2000C with the M-2000-5.

 

I take back my statement then, no force to be reckoned with, at least not in BVR, not with the Super 530 as the main BVR option.

 

Why aren't we getting the -5 instead?

[Sweep]

^Because modern AAMs are for lazy people.

 

Do it the old way and duke it out with gimballing turns and brass balls! :D

[FLANKERATOR]

Modern AAMs is what you are going to have to deal with when things get hairy...

 

That being said let's see how the recent IR tweak feels like (thinking specifically about ET's)

[Stuge]

Took the Mirage for a spin today :)

 

Much better than Mig-21 when it comes to radar and RWR, but still not a force to reckon with since the missiles don't seem to be of very effective kind.

 

In a dogfight things may get a little interesting though.. there's a magic flip switch to turn off Fly By Wire, much like in the Su-27, but this one is on steroids guys, the thing can make a full 360 degree backflip from 200 kts level flight at the moment hihi... too bad there's no R73+helmet sight combo to go with that :(

 

With Fly By Wire, the thing feels surprisingly much like the Falcon's F-16, very effectively dampened and sterile.

 

On a positive note, structural damage from G is modeled and you will rip your wings off if you pull too much G with Fly By Wire off!

[*Rage*]

Too much xmas and family and mince pie to DCS! Any first impressions of the new IRCCM?

[Sweep]

Why is this thread in the FC3/Su-27 section?

 

There are missiles outside of R-73s guys. *looks at Stuge and Rage*

 

:D

[*Rage*]

Lol. I agree Sweep. The ET shouldn't be overlooked:).

 

Thread should be in general FC3 section:)

You know what I want to see the ET get? a smoke trail that matches the ER. They use the same exact motor, only difference is the seeker head, so why does the ET smoke like an oil fire?

[*Rage*]

Post a bug report. I'd be interested in seeing side by side photos/videos.

Maybe ER is the bugged one! :megalol:

 

(I'm being serious, sorta)

[GGTharos]

They should both be smoking like someone popped off a SAM :D
