Ardillita Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Yesterday night, I was reviewing a track I did, becuse dureing the fight I was visually trackin a missile I launch, and some seconds before I got a kill, I almost shoot another one because I though it was gonna miss. My missile, a r27er was heading towards a F15. This f15 was already makeing evasive maneouvers and from his point of view, he put the missile on his 3, and he was releasing chaffs as crazy, my missile did a strange movement (wich later took me to review the track) but finally broke into pieces the eagle. Seeing the track I followed the missile path. The missile was tracking well, suddenly it seemed it was tricked by the chaffs, and seemed to started tracking a chaff. This was for about 1 sec. I said this because the missile path suddenly changed from a lead persuit course toa lag persuit, very clearly and a sec later the missile path was clearle away the F15 tail, so im pretty sure the missile was tracking a chaff. But suddenly , the missile corrected itself and changed again to a lead persuit path as it it had re aquired the real target Im not compalining, Im happy because I got a kill but, is this ok? the missile can get tricked by countermeasures but then is there posibilities to reaquire the real target? Is this posible in real life and posible on FC, just in FC, is a bug in the path calculation or what?
GGTharos Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 The missile is getting tricked by chaff and yer, it can reacquire. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Ardillita Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 So, somenting that really "scared" me: the F15 shoot a 120 to me, from a relative short distance. I broke, and the missile was clearly away of any kind of posible tracking path. It was clearly not tracking me in any way. So clear that I just look at it while I shooted my missile, but suddenly, the 120 in parallel path to my at my 10, and did a 90º break turn and started tracking me. Fortunaly as I could see later in the track, this turn forced too much Gs and I was with good speed and missed. But my question is: this is obviously a bug right? in no way I was not even close the the glimbal limits of the tracking head of the 120, so what happened?
GGTharos Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Well, first of all, angle is very hard to determine from the track, you would need something like an ACMI/Tacview recording. You might be right anyway - right now ther are a few issues with seekers; I don't think they will be fixed very soon, but I do know that they are on the list to do work on - I don't think it'll be in BS though.

Ardillita Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 Yes, but in fact I used tacview to see the angle (either way I didn´t need it, as I said, I had visual of the missile and I clearly saw when it ternunf to me, it was passing paralel to me at 1000 meter aprox, and when it was at my 9 clearle it did a 90º turn)
