Warlock1606688821 Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Tried to sink FFL1124.4 Grisha ship with a Harrier , needed 4 x GBU16 + 2 x AGM65E laser guided direct hits to sink it , seems too hard? I don't really know, hence my question
Kula66 Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 Certainly seems to be a problem with damage modelling on this ship ... I've been hitting one with a couple of big Mavs (300lb warhead each) and it just steams on - no drop in capability with guns/missiles still firing and radar operating. Given that's a similar class of warhead to an Exocet (364lbs) and the Grisha is a fairly small ship, I'd expect even one to silence it even if it didn't sink it. I guess its down to only having basic damage modelling on ships. It would be nice to have to have some lower capability escort type warships in DCS ... many of the top end units modelled, but you realistically aren't going after a Kirov with a Harrier! Or have a Kirov guarding a small convoy. HARMs on the F-18 will hopefully change things, but again, you aren't going after a Red battlegroup in your lone FA-18! PS> Any chance of a dedicated missile and navy section of the forum?
Charlie-1 Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Tried to sink FFL1124.4 Grisha ship with a Harrier , needed 4 x GBU16 + 2 x AGM65E laser guided direct hits to sink it , seems too hard? I don't really know, hence my question Funny seeing this as I like to practice on this ship with the AV-8B..It's hard to get past its missiles so I found the best way is lock on from a distance and launch 4 x AGM IR's (ensuring they all hit) or a steep dive bomb from 15k ft with 4-6 Mk83s. I don't know how its damage model compares with others though.

unknown Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 I use the Albatros as a target(with 2 Moniya) for my Viggen Anti-Ship flights. It takes one RB-15 to sink an Albatros or Molniya.

Kula66 Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Thanks unknown, the Molniya looks a bit softer, I'll give it a go. I've been struggle to self-lase with the tpod and 65Ls whilst avoiding those SAN-4s!
Kula66 Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Still fairly tough. Hit with at least on 300lb Mav (not sure if teh second hit or not), plus a couple of sidearms and a snakeye ...
unknown Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 I don't have the AV-8b, for the Anti-Ship Role i use the Viggen with it's RB15 Anti Ship missiles, it's a true killer missile. :D Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1, F-4E Phantom II System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings
