Backy 51 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Wags/ED, What is the criteria for the HARM to go from standby to ready mode? Cheers, I don't need no stinkin' GPS! (except for PGMs :D) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ED Team Wags Posted January 16, 2019 ED Team Posted January 16, 2019 There is no "warm up time". Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/wagmatt Twitch: wagmatt System: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3729544#post3729544
Backy 51 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Okay, thanks. What is the delay between standby and ready status as I step through the stations then? Just flew a test mission with four red ground radars and all four HARMS were in standby. I did use Active Pause to run through your video fire sequence before unpausing to engage the radars. Setup was 22K and inside 20NM for the record. I don't need no stinkin' GPS! (except for PGMs :D) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Nightwolf Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 As far as I could tell, standby means ready but inactive, once you select the missile, it should take one out of standby and let you target "Fighter pilots have ice in their veins. They don't have emotions. They think, anticipate. They know that fear and other concerns cloud your mind from what's going on and what you should be involved in." -Buzz Aldrin

Shadow KT Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) How realistic are off boresight shots and cold aspect shots like this one in the link I posted ? https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/y_x6wWQhHlojeT8BzuW7iGq0y33HmZ4uxJJZSmrpsh8/%3Fcid%3D73b8f7b15c3f5e6734736158637b3164/https/media2.giphy.com/media/C9xpJSxESaHvG1GG7p/giphy.mp4 Edited January 16, 2019 by Shadow KT 'Shadow' Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days
Backy 51 Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Correct What I just observed in the test mission was that until the Fan Song painted me, the HARM on the selected station did not switch from standby to ready. As soon as I heard the Fan Song tone on the RWR, the HARM switched to ready and I then fired it. So there are some criteria that must be met before firing. Nonetheless, having HARMs for non-AI aircraft will be a great addition to mission building. Looking forward to the additional HARM modes and the eventual arrival of the non-AI Smart Pig.

ED Team cofcorpse Posted January 16, 2019 ED Team Posted January 16, 2019 Standby means that the missile is on, but without a designated target. When RWR detects appropriate threat and it is transfered to missile, status is changed to Ready.
blkspade Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Wait does this mean if you're in the beam of a friendly radar SAM as its targeting a nearby enemy the spike will trigger the HARM, leading to a potential TK on the SAM? http://104thphoenix.com/

In my understanding no as long as the friendly SAMs engagement radar is not hard-locking on you. If it is locking on another aircraft your RWR will not go off. Keep in mind the difference between being painted briefly by a search radar and being locked on by an engagement radar. There are different RWR indications and tones for each.

I'm thinking about the swaths of new players hopping on to our server, not reading the brief or not knowing the mission layout and having twitch reactions in the given scenario. The lack of consistent IFF behavior already gets airborne AI assets tk'd by F-18s. It's better than when there was zero IFF at least. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk http://104thphoenix.com/
