publicm0vz Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Hey guys, hopefully I haven't overlooked something when searching for this! This just came to mind, but I can't be the first one to think of it: can you shoot a E2C (forgot the name of the Russian counterpart) with a AGM-88 HARM? Does it lock, track and hit a moving aircraft? I can't test it myself right now (abroad and all that), does any of you guys know? What is the difference between a landing, a good landing and a perfect landing? -After a landing the A/C is back on the ground. After a good landing the pilots walks away. After a perfect one you can reuse the aircraft. I am good at doing landings.
Kang Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 That one B-52 crew from Desert Storm says it certainly can.
GGTharos Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 No, you cannot. The b52 incident was nothing at all like attempting to target an AEW radar. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
publicm0vz Posted May 11, 2019 Author Posted May 11, 2019 so it ain't possible in DCS either I guess? Anybody tried it out? thought it might make for a poor mans Phoenix :D (long range against slow moving targets) What is the difference between a landing, a good landing and a perfect landing? -After a landing the A/C is back on the ground.

Freeroamer Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 The B-52 accident was caused by a B-52H/G's Gunnery Radar being targeted by a HARM..
GGTharos Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 ... while targeting the shooting aircraft on some form of STT mode and thus providing a constant and stable signal to home in on. As a bonus, the b52 was directly in front of the shooter and not maneuvering. Nothing like an AEW target, not even the same radio band.
