A2G Gun Reticle and Rocket Reticle

[Flagrum]

Both, the A2G gun reticle and the rocket reticle, do not move to adjust for a computed impact point. They are not CCIP, but instead just sit at a fixed depression angle.

 

Is this intentional or a bug/wip?

 

I seem to remember that in the first iterations of the gun pipper implementation, the reticle actually moved - but somewhat rough due to the TAS implementation at that time (if I recall Zeus' words correctly).

Radar on and radar altimeter on?

Also, Radar ranging on?

I can confirm that, TAS+RS with radar and radar alt on.

 

The cannon and rockets doesn't hit where the piper is.

[razo+r]

Do you have an enough high angle?

[myHelljumper]

Does it need an high angle to work ? My tests was at 20-25 degrees.

[RAZBAM_ELMO]

Yeah plus 30 deg for the rockets

Ok thanks will test. :thumbup:

[myHelljumper]

Test done at 30° at the 3 quarter mark, the gun hit low and the rockets hit high.

of the Piper with circle or of the Point in the Piper?

[RAZBAM_ELMO]

You sure you're firing within the range of the rockets and guns. There is a max and min wez that you need to adhere to.

Yes, RDR active in TAS mode, but no RALT active.

 

The impact points are somewhat close to the pipper if I am in range. But that is not "CCIP", that is more or less just coincidence.

 

I would rather expect the pipper move - according to the measured distance - up within the HUD the closer you get. But it doesn't. It is fixed at the same position at the HUD, regardles of the distance to the impact point.

Radar alt needs to be on as well as radar on and TAS

The gun and rockets do not hit the point inside the piper when the piper range is at the 9 o'clock position.

My understanding is that both TAS and RALT provide both, independently, means to calculate the range to the target. TAS gives slant angle and range and is therefore more accurate than RALT which gives only the local altitude above the ground (which can be significantly different from the target's location).

 

I.e. it is not mandatory to have two sources for calculating the range and TAS should be enough.

 

But I will try that as well regardless.

 

edit: with TAS + RS still no change: reticle does not move to adjust for the changing distance.

Again. Radar plus radar alt need to be on to provide a solution que

Again, it is not working.

 

And additionally: why? Why should 2 sources be necessary if TAS alone already provides all data that it needed?

[Rlaxoxo]

You chose between TAS or RDR ALT ... you dont need both

[Chrinik]

Elmo is probably confused, because RS mode is currently much more accurate then TAS, and will give a much more accurate solution with both active then just with TAS.

 

But that is the point, TAS should be more accurate, RS should only be accurate if the target is the same elevation as you.

 

Personally, I don´t use TAS until it is accurate enough, RS works well enough and I can get bombs/rounds on target consistently.

So, i tested it and those are my results:

 

Gun, only TAS, high Angle (50+) Strafing a bit low

with RS, on target

 

Rockets, with TAS and RS, high and medium Angle (50+ and 30-40), Pretty precise, if you subtract the factor of the unguided flight path
