correct as is Tunguska missile aiming circle position incorrect

Yeah that seems to be the case for all Russian AD systems with a dual application, but as far as I can see(based on the chassis) the Tunguska in DCS is the latest -M1 version, which should be using the radio fuzed missile variant as well.

 

I mean DCS is using the MPQ-53 off of the Patriot for the SPY-1 on both the Arleigh-Burke and Ticonderoga, and I'd say the majority of the supercarrier's RADARs aren't defined at all - it's kinda disappointing IMO.

 

As for the Tunguska, what are the differences between the chassis?

Yeah I guess it a universial navy issue not just affecting the Russian units.

The Tunguska-M1 uses a different one althogether. The original chassis was IIRC called GM-352, while the new one for the -M1 is called GM-5975 - produced by the same company that makes the chassis for Tor and Buk. http://mmzavod.ru/category/products/

Even without a proximity fuze, being optically guided, it'd have a radio fuse and be detonated by the operator at that point (a close miss).

 

That said, on the topic at hand, the missile does have a bit of "lag" behind the operator's aim on a beaming target. That, I think, is normal and expected, as the missile has to constantly correct over the radio link to follow the operator's guidance.

 

Much like the Vikhr lags a bit behind the Ka50's laser when lasing a crossing target.

But Vikhrs hit moving targets... (afaik)

Tunguska also does, but you have to keep the aiming circle on target.

It helps you lead a bit, otherwise the missile will be in 'lag pursuit', losing kinetic energy and is more likely to miss.

Using the joystick instead the mouse could possibly improve the Aiming.

 It does, and is the proper way. Or at least more like the real thing and any real gun or missile turret.

 

Using the mouse to track a beaming target is next to impossible, as you run out of mouse pad / desk before the missile reaches the target.

Cab'tyou use the mode with the red arrow, meaning the more you move your mouse away from the circle, the faster it moves? I forgot the name but I use it from time to time to track targets as it's much easier that way.
