27ER range or time to impact

[fyaruny]

Hello people,

 

So, im still kind of a noob at the flanker and i have a question to ask, i dont know if it has been asked already, if it was i couldnt find it.

My question is, when i fire a 27ER on a locked target, is there a way to know how long will it take to hit the target or how far is it from the target? Or the only way to know if its a hit is by confirming visualy?

 

Thanks

Unfortunately the Flanker doesn't give you a time-to-impact display so the only way to be 100% sure is visual confirmation. That being said, with typical launch ranges and relative speeds, if nothing has happened within 20 seconds then it's probably safe to assume that an R-27ER will have missed. Obviously the time will depend on closure rate but 20 seconds is a decent rule of thumb.

 

With current missile ranges you should normally be able to see a successful missile impact & explosion, unless you're in an extreme position e.g. launching at Rmax from 15,000m altitude at Mach 2.6 :)
