RB04 Depth Separation

[Dirkan]

Hello Heatblur Simulations.

 

According to this post the RB04 should activate their motors at different times depending on the altitude and from which pylon they were launched.

 

When the missile's radar altimeter detects that the missile has had an altitude under 120 meters above sea level for more than 100 milliseconds, the automatic 7 degree dive stops and the missile instead follows a descent profile that takes around 10 seconds to reach its cruise altitude of 10 meters. Missiles launched from the right pylon ignite their rocket engine when descending below 130 meters, while missiles launched from the left pylon ignite it upon reaching the cruise altitude, to further separate them in time and in altitude.

This has been verified to be correct according the the declassified manual attached to this post. I had to cut the PDF due to file size constraints.

 

The missiles currently activate at the same time when counted from the launch moment for each missile, which is incorrect.

Great find! Let's hope it's implemented soon.

Bump, if we can get it acknowledged.

Tracked. Sorry for taking this long to acknowledge.
