Bullitthead Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 The manual states that the maximum range of the BK90 is near 10km. Has anyone been able to achieve a range close to this? My maximum BK90 range is always 6km, independent of release speed or altitude. The odd thing is that if I do release at high speed(.9+mach) I can release outside of the maximum launch envelope range of the HUD and the weapon will make it to the target around 10km out but it will do no damage. It will overfly the target from 10km if launched properly but the weapon won't activate over the target.
Bullitthead Posted March 12, 2017 Author Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) No, the BK90 doesn't work in multiplayer. Well actually it does if I host the server/mission but even then the range is still 6km max. Edited March 12, 2017 by Bullitthead
JanTelefon Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 I have the same results. Releasing outside of the envelope has the weapon gliding over the target area with no effect. If you look at page 340 in the manual you can see that the maximum range seems to be something like 7km at M0.9. I guess 10 km is a bit optimistic, but it's a nice and round number to use when "selling" the weapon. It is still quite an awesome weapon though that can be used over hills etc. :)
Bullitthead Posted March 12, 2017 Author Posted March 12, 2017 It's a fun weapon for sure. I actually did use it over hills recently, attacking a SAM site at groom lake using the hill to the west as cover! About smashed into the hill trying to pull off target after the drop though, I coulda used a couple more km of drop distance! Just seems odd that the weapon can travel the longer distance but won't deploy the ordinance. My source from the manual was on page 225. You are correct though as the chart does seem to indicate a shorter max range. Anyone know what the max delivery distance is in the real BK90?
