Xavven Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 After the last patch, in 1.5.3, I'm finding that my mavericks don't lock on until much shorter distances. While approaching a lone SA-8 (Osa), my AGM-65H was not locking onto it at a distance of about 6.5 nm (this was in the caucuses map). By that time, I had 2 SAM launches coming my way. I can kill it with force-correlate, but I've often heard repeated on this forum that DCS modeled that to have an unrealistically high accuracy. So I'm wondering now, is there a realistic way for an A-10C to destroy an SA-8? Or are we supposed to call in SEAD and wait on the sidelines? Is using an AGM-65K with force-correlate a realistic option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Better go for SEAD, but if you want it, 1. thing i would do is maybe if i'm out of range force relocate, 2. i would try and come in low for a pop up attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavven Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hm, well I might have answered my own question. I just bombed it with a GBU-38 from 25000 ft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I think D's will be better than H's, they lock on targets from greater distance. If your latest response is not an option, try using terrain masking - if you REALLY have to take out SAM, that is. Normally you should have SEAD available.

I just switched from the H to the D, and the lock on range is much better. No more issues with the Osa. I'm going to fly against a Tor and then a Tunguska next. Wish me luck.

Xavven Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Alright, with the AGM-65D, I can outrange SA-8 (Osa), SA-15 (Tor), and SA-19 (Tunguska) without force correlate from medium altitude (15000 AGL). SA-11 (Buk) still outranges me, but there's no surprise there, and obviously an SA-10 does as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelevra9987 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The Delta Mav's don't have Force Corrolate AFAIK.

Force correlate is only on the G, H, and K in DCS. I would love to have a maverick with semi-active laser guidance, though. I wonder if a true 12nm shot could be achieved with that. That, and laser guided hydra rockets. http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/apkws-ii-hellfire-jr-hydra-rockets-enter-sdd-phase-02193/ Okay, and while we're at it, I'd love a HMCS. But that's for another thread. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
