EasyEB Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Greetings! So I'm trying to get my Mk.82AIR on target, but it seems it always overshoots by about 40-50 feet consistently. Is there any way to kind of make it not do that? How are you getting them on target? No wind in test mission. Consistently 40-50 feet overshoot every time, regardless of speed/altitude. The target point is directly below target (tank). Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cthulhu68 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Don't confuse a Mk82air with a smartbomb. IRL a JDAM is said to be accurate within 33 feet. I just tested with 2 mk82air @5000ft at about 300knots and had a good strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cik Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 install warhead mod don't use airs, except against groups of infantry IMO airs are basically useless in DCS because flying treetop level against machine guns is suicide, furthermore explosions do very little damage to anything without modding. it's actually much more efficient to use 45~ degree CCIP dives and just use mk82 if you want to use bombs. it might very well be busted though who knows, my wager is that very few pilots use mk82air for above reason. i wish snakeyes were in the game honestly.

cthulhu68 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Other than parachute/fins, what make snakeyes so different? Not as much drag and less likely to be effected by wind. This must be your lucky day then! :smilewink: ] Probably referring to A-10 and/or doesn't own Mirage or F-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gospadin Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 This must be your lucky day then! :smilewink: Yea, they've been in the game for a long time. Which aircraft have them available as payloads, though, I'm not sure.

Cik Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Other than parachute/fins, what make snakeyes so different? nothing, save that they have an intermediate attack profile. mk82 leads to self-frag because A-10 cannot effectively climb out of the blast at low altitude, airs are affected by wind too much. snakeyes would be a nice happy medium for the A-10. airs are not any good because you either have to be right over the treetops to drop them (suicide against anything with a gun above 20mm) or they hang in the air for 10 minutes and miss.

3WA Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (suicide against anything with a gun above 20mm) Lol, yeah, I remember the time I was flying low, and missed a BTR-90 sitting on the field. I think it literally cut my A-10 in half length wise. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cik Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 it's better than it used to be, where ZU-23s would hit you dead center of mass with 100% of bullets at max range while you were hauling 300 knots in a dive 7000 feet up in a turn in the dark while in a rainstorm, but it's still taking a big risk with the aircraft any time you enter WEZ of anything with a cannon. the game really desperately needs less threatening machine gun platforms, like those fielded by ISIS imo. "insurgents" equipped with massive amounts of 40mm shipunov equipped vehicles is a little.. eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3WA Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Lol, yeah, was flying the Shark last night against some tanks. The sky was ALIVE with .50 caliber fire going everywhere. Then a platoon of Stryker's joined in with their 30mm Bushmasters! I thought I had been hit by a missile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Yea, they've been in the game for a long time. Which aircraft have them available as payloads, though, I'm not sure. It's pretty easy to add them to the list of available weapons, not sure how well they'd work, though. I added the AIM-9X to the F-15C a while back, and they seemed to work fine. I guess with how much more involved the A-10C is the profile controls would probably be all jacked up. :\ Either way I can't remember which .lua it was in, but a quick forum search should find it. Carrier Script. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
