Loneagle Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Recently I was testing the Patriot system reaction and lethality during the edition and I discover the PK of "high-performance" SAMs is really poor even when their targets it's really close of them. For example if We take public information about the PK of the Patriot and S300 systems would be 70 to 90% against any aerial target into their engagement zone even at low altitude but in DCS World that PK with the units set up in excellent skill is below than 20% and below than 5% with average skill even against targets just at 20 or 15 miles away from the SAM site that could be considered so deep into the No escape zone of these systems. I attach a tacview track where a Patriot site with excellent skill react against SU-24 element and must use more than 23 missiles to shoot down just one of them at 5 miles away; that's make no sense and it's worse testing the S300 or BUK systems. I hope the ED team can fix this problem in the future...Tacview-20180806-012222-DCS-Operation Cutlass.zip.zip Edited August 6, 2018 by Loneagle
falcon_120 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 I remember back in the days of Flanker 2.5 that when you were close to a S300 you were pretty much ****ed. It was so difficult to evade with that huge explosive warhead and the incredible speed. Haven't tested it myself though, so I dont know how they are working nowadays. I will give it a go.
bell_rj Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Have you tried since the change to the Patriot missiles LOS behaviour in the beta released last week? PC specs:
Loneagle Posted August 6, 2018 Author Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Have you tried since the change to the Patriot missiles LOS behaviour in the beta released last week? Yep, the track I attached was recorded using that beta and the tests using the stable version have the same issues even a friend was doing the same test using a Mirage getting in the engagement zone of an S300 battery and Buk battery at the same time with ridiculous results, I hope to attach his track soon...
