Tyrant07 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Since the update to the BK-90 I am unable to get a valid In range launch indication any further out then 7km from the target way point. 7Km pretty much puts you right in most SAM threats unfortunately. To get this range I am at 500m and M 0.9 at launch, which per the manual is its release envelope. I remember being able to get 10km shots in the previous version, or am i not remembering correctly? Have any of you guys been able to get a 10km range and get valid effects on target since the update? if so, what are your launch parameters?
Rudel_chw Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Have any of you guys been able to get a 10km range and get valid effects on target since the update? if so, what are your launch parameters? On this video, I get the distance line at a bit less than 10 Km .. but I chose to get a bit nearer, before launching at 7 km range. xxwl1GUIOjE release parameters were M 0.75 and 350 meters altitude. If there are SAMs, try to arrange a SU-25 SEAD attack prior to yours.

Tyrant07 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 Interesting. I see you chose to launch right as the line appeared/started closing instead of waiting for it to be within the max distance markers. Looks like it still worked great though. I guess I'll do more testing with launching before the time line hits the max markers and see what happens.
JanTelefon Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Before the update, launching when the line was outside the markers made the BK-90 glide harmlessly over the target not doing anything. I haven't tested launching early since the update. Still, one should launch within the parameters...

I haven't tested launching early since the update. Still, one should launch within the parameters... That's something I'd like to test as well, but didn't yet. Back then when the Viggen was new, I tried to do something unusual to extend the BK M90 range by just dropping them from 2000m or generally higher altitudes. After finding out the rough parameters, I managed to give them a good dlideslope over the target, but they didn't fire off the submunitions. I wonder how the real thing would work in that case. The only real limitation I could see would be a battery running out of juice, which commonly is a range limiter for some missiles like the Mavericks IRL.
schroedi Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 The DWS39, which is a modded export variant of the BK90 doesn't have that altitude limitation.
Tj1376 Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Page 344 of the manual has the BK90 release parameter envelope on it - nothing extends past 7km. Cheers TJ
