Marstiphal Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 Simple question really, is the RB15 affected by alignment drift? I thought setting bx8 and bx7 directly on the radar would eliminate any drift factor but I have seen missiles veer off on launch and its the only thing I can think of. Thanks
metzgerov Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 More likely is you selected Group mode and there isn't really a "group" for the missiles to track. But yes anything you "plot" is subject to drift.
Rudel_chw Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Simple question really, is the RB15 affected by alignment drift? I dont think it's affected, as the Rb15 has its own radar to pickup the target on its final phases of flight. I have seen missiles veer off on launch and its the only thing I can think of. It could be also the use of a targetting option not compatible with the target, for example setting up option 800003 (Convoy) but the target isnt in convoy formation.

Marstiphal Posted September 18, 2018 Author Posted September 18, 2018 Just to clarify, this was at launch and not final phase, its a really odd one. The process was: Acquire ships on radar directly off my nose set Bx8 on the target set Bx7 as a midpoint directly between me and the target Get to within range and fire It was at this point that the missiles immediately at launch veered 45 degrees right, travelled some distance (presumably towards Bx7) and then turned back to the correct heading (presumably towards Bx8) but now offset some distance - certainly not where I placed Bx7 and Bx8 via the radar... hence the thought it was due to drift.
