[FIXED] RB 04e Single target bug

[tees]

Hi there i just spot some rb04e bug, when you shoot them into one target in series they separate a bit and one missile hit a quarter second before another. Problem is a second missile exploding same time before reaching the target (look like as if it was destroyed by shock wave). If you engage in single and give them a little bit more separation they both hit. record some short clip

This bug is still present in 2021.

I believe this also happens with the RB-15 occasionally

@LazyBootSir, you are absolutely right. Thanks.

This should be alleviated in the upcoming patch, due to warhead changes.

That's great to hear! I'm though, what exactly is changing about the warheads?

[Streicher]

Maybe not doing 'OVER 9000' damage to compensate the ship's damage modeling?

This issue is still present as of today. If the missiles are launched at a speed close to their cruise speed (~0.93M) then the first missile doesn't seperate forward of the second missile which leads to them being close to one another when the first missile impacts and the explosion kills the second missile before it impacts the target.

 

This issn't just a Viggen issue though, but a DCS issue as the same thing happens with the Hornet and their Harpoon missiles if launched like that.

 

Edit:

This issue is related as this should prevent the missiles from blowing each other up:

Tracked Depth Separation.

Same problem today. Just try the tutorial of the RB04 (which it freezes talking when activating the radar) and you will see how once the first missile hits, the second autodestructs

[Zabuzard]

The issue is caused by the warhead of the first missile being so big that the second is within its detonation radius.

Fixed internally, will be in an upcoming patch.
