flo57100 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Hello Hip pilots ! A question concerning using the sight to aim for rocket and weapons use: I saw the tables on the overhead table for sighting setting regarding shooting distance and speed. For a shoot at 1500 meters at 200 km/h, it says to set the sight at 64. For a shoot at 3000 meters at 200 km/h, it says to set the sigt at 104. What puzzles me is that when you set the sight at 64 (for 1500m) the crosshair appears much higher than sight set at 104 (3000m). It should be the opposite, no ? Because if you want to fire your rocket at 3000m distance, you must aim higher than at 1500 meters to compensate for the ballistic trajectory of your rockets, right ? Is there something I'm missing ? I attached a screen of the tables to the message. Maybe someone can enlight me on that point :thumbup:
Holton181 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I haven't started to use the hip for fighting yet, but consider this: If cross hair is higher, the nose of the aircraft ned to be lower to get the cross over your target. If the cross is lower, the nose will be higher. Br /H Helicopters and Viggen DCS 1.5.7 and OpenBeta Win7 Pro 64bit i7-3820 3.60GHz P9X79 Pro 32GB GTX 670 2GB VG278H + a Dell PFT Lynx TrackIR 5
Rogue Trooper Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Remember where your water line is at for the velocity you are travelling. If the sight is higher it means you gotta pull the nose down further to achieve rocket LOS at that range. At a further distance you gotta pull the nose down less to achieve rocket LOS. At a further distance you gotta lob those rockets up and over to achieve the required range. Dude, wait till you get to Nevada hot n high.... you can throw all yer schoolin into the bin! Once we get the Afghanistan map, all rockets will need to be re-learnt! The MI-8 sight is superb by the way... ZOOM right up to the sight, it is a Top notch sight for roughly ranging targets.... use it and love that bad boy!

flo57100 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks for your replies, it makes sense now :-). But is there a certain altitude to be in order to have those settings valid ? I didn't find it on the tables but maybe I missed something
Rogue Trooper Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 100 m height I found the charts valid. Generally I use it as proven in Afganistan, where longer range ground threats are low.
