kh-31 krypton missile bug

[Satarosa]

The missile in the game is completely flawed!

Normally this is one of the best anti radar/ship missile from Russia..

And how does it work now in the DCS?

 

Fly straight to the target? Only targeting air targets?

- The speed is incorrect, it is too weak (The thrusters seem inactive) !

- Wrong trajectory, often misses target !

- The firing distance is far too short compared to the reality, of the missile range.. !

So it would be AI only missie (as we do not have any of those aircrafts)?

Use by AI Aircrafts, but is bug !

Yes! Horrible bug! Must be fixed! Kh-31P never hits target when fired at ~30 km!

Kh 31A, launched at 25nm, 250', will accelerate to its max speed under booster, then maintain its speed by Scramjet at 1264 kts and sea skimming height. It can be shot by SM-2 or guns or hit target at full speed.

 

 

Kh 31P, launched at 55 nm @ 40000' (max), from Su 24M, will accelerate to 1800 kt under booster, but the Ramjet engine does not start and therefore it will decelerate and reduce speed to a low terminal 350/550 kt, but will always hit the target. It is completely immune to defences (invisible). 8 shots 8 hits, every time.

 

 

Launched at 70 nm from a Su 34 it has a completely different profile. Unlike the Su 24 attack, which keeps to a high aItitude before diving on the target, it uses a less efficient direct approach and without an engine, will hit the sea after 40nm. Launched at 40000' it will just about make the target from 40 nm.

 

 

Conclusion. Kh 31P, is buggered, but still usable.
