freebirddz Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Hi, do we have any playable aircraft able to launch an anti-ship missile like harpon or KH-35 in DCS ? if yes how ? :D Thank you
Silver_Dragon Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 None of FC-3 aircrafts can carry anti-ships missiles. The Heatblur AJS-37 Viggen can carry antiship missiles and the future F/A-18C can carry Harpoons (not in the initial release).

QuiGon Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 None of FC-3 aircrafts can carry anti-ships missiles. Not anymore at least. I think the Su-33 did have anti-ship missiles in earlier versions. But yeah, the only aircraft in DCS currently that has anti-ship missiles is the Viggen. It can use the RB-04E and RBS-15. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Silver_Dragon Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Not anymore at least. I think the Su-33 did have anti-ship missiles in earlier versions. The main problem of the Su-33 "old" antiship capability, was "invented" by ED, but later, removed but the Su-33 never was anti-ship and munition guided capability, only rockets and bombs.

Stratos Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Su-33 is using the SVP-24 now, not really guided munitions, but a lot smarter thatn the old modes. I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
QuiGon Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I can really recommend the Viggen. It does exactly what you want ;) 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
esb77 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 The Kh-25 MPU, Kh-58, Kh-29T, Kh-25L, Kh-29L, S-24L, and the laser guided bombs are as close as the playable FC3 planes get. They all have the problem that they either do little damage or that against a guided missile ship you have to penetrate about 40 km inside the lethal range of the ship's surface to air missiles. With a very large strike package, and as much speed and altitude as you can get to extend range on the munitions, you can get munitions through to the target. Doing it with AI formations though, I generally got results like 0-4 missile hits on the ship for a loss of 6-10 strike aircraft. It's an expensive and desperate proposition. Only way I could see it working is if there's a coordinated strike where a friendly naval force is also attacking, and the combination of surface to surface and air launched munitions is enough to over saturate the defenses around the target. Against a ship that is unarmed or only has short range (less than 10 km max range) air defenses then the Kh-29 variants do quite nicely. It does list ships as potential targets in the description, but it's not meant for dealing with well defended targets. Callsign "Auger". It could mean to predict the future or a tool for boring large holes. I combine the two by predictably boring large holes in the ground with my plane.
grunf Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I can really recommend the Viggen. It does exactly what you want ;) +1 Best suited for the task at the moment. And a great plane to fly!
cthulhu68 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Mig-21 has Grom missile that works for anti-ship.
Noface Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 The Su-33 has an anti ship rocket but I recomend the AJS-37 FACTA NON VERBA EX MERO MOTU Those two I will never forget!
QuiGon Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 The Su-33 has an anti ship rocket but I recomend the AJS-37 Did you even read the thread?! The Su-33s anti ship missile has been removed many years ago!

WildBillKelsoe Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 The antiship missiles are in AJS-37 Viggen. Not FC3 modules. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
frixon28 Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Did you even read the thread?! The Su-33s anti ship missile has been removed many years ago! I think he might have been referring to those large rockets that the SU-33 can carry, believe they are the ones that take up a single hard point. You can use them against lightly armored/non armored ships with success.
