Antiship missiles

[Black_Hawk]

What does 51 represent? It usually starts when I turn on my radar and it starts counting backwards from 200. At first I thought that it represented the range, but as you can see in the screenshot the actual distance from the target is much smaller. Then I thought that it's time until missile reaches target, but nooo, it ocasionally starts counting from a higher figure when it reaches say 50. :book:

[pappavis]

No idea what that is, besides, your trying to use a Kh-31A which no-way cant be employed by with human pilots in Lo-mac 1.1.

Waaaay back in the days of Flanker 2.51 the Kh-31A and Kh-31P was kaunchable by a human pilot but not anymore.

 

The only antiship missile available for a human pilot in Lo-mac is the Kh-58 on a Su-25T.

[Black_Hawk]

Oh, I forgot to mention that it also happens with Kh-41

[Black_Hawk]

Here's a shot with '41

[Black_Hawk]

I don't have my HUD in russian and yeah, it's strange to see a cyrillic letter every now and then :D

[Aeroscout]

I dont think it means anything. If I ever use the Kh-41, i just wait till i'm inrange, then fire. It usually doesn't matter anyway. The enemies SAMs usually get it.

 

My point is, don't worry about it.

[Ironhand]

What does 51 represent?

I believe that number represents the estimated time of flight--at least for the Kh-41 it does. Been quite awhile since I've been in the -33's cockpit.

I also thought that, but at certain point it increases from say 45 to 75 and continues counting backwards. Can the missile actually have different engine burning time? (I mean in LO)

I'll do some testing tonight and I'll get back to you with my results.

are you sure! i dont think so

[thesystem]

Kh-58 is a anti radar missile? Yeah almost every combat ship has a radar.....but then you could also use the other anti radar missile like the Kh-25P.....

 

And the Kh-41 then...?:music_whistling:

[Force_Feedback]

Just use the Kh-15 ;)

[504smudge]

yeah i know you can use a Kh-58 against a ship but you can also use the Kh-41 on the SU33

[159th_Viper]

29T's and Vikhrs work a treat sinking ships....:)

[Aeroscout]

Just a quick question. How do you lead a sucessfull attack against a ship protected by lots of SAMs, like the Ticonderoga? That is, without the Kh-41.

[Force_Feedback]

Fly very, very low, under 5 meters, use alt hold, pop-up, fire your rockets/bombs pray the CIWS went dead.

You also can set up a lonely Vinnie, make it hostile, and come in for a landing in your su-33, just remember that Mr Phalanx doesn't like you.

[hitman]

Dont know if you noticed but you have a LA on the HUD.

KH-58's and thereafter whatever else it takes to sink her.

[D-Scythe]

Realistically, you shouldn't be able to sink a Ticonderoga or any other SAM ship unless you work as a team. Right now, Ticos are sitting ducks.

[Aeroscout]

Ok. I cant really get close to the Tico. But Ok, 5 meters is a bit low though.
