Stinger Missile, sight problem and use.

[Silver_Dragon]

I make a video with Stinger man-pads unit on DCS: World 1.5.5 and I discover some problems with the stinger sight and man-pads missile use.

Some mistakes show in the video.

1º- The Stinger sight only acquire targets with a target into the range ring, that is a false behaviour. All sight visor can "lock" a target.

 

The range sight has only a part of the Stinger sight, the correct stinger procedure to engage air targets are describe on the Field manual FM 44-18-1 (page 3-7 to 3-9)

 

2º- The Range ring has wrong draw. FM 44-18-1 (page 6-2)

 

3º- Mising the IFF interrogator tone (pushing a bottom) to target identification (only identifies friendly targets). Procedure use and sound on FM 44-18-1 (page 4-6 to 4-7). The actual IFF has not correct.

 

4º- The firing sequence has not correct, the missile acquisition tone only has sound with push and maintain the "uncage switch". If lost need depress the "uncage switch" and repeat the intent. when have a tone, the firing operator need point the missile into the lower Stinger sight (as describe on point 1) and push the trigger and fire. FM 44-18-1 (page 6-4 to 6-5)
