tflash Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Is it a feature or a bug that the R-3S missile just drops from the launcher when you pull G's for a while? While dogfighting I realize I often just lose my missiles before being able to deploy them. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TLTeo Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 Yes, over 5Gs (I think) will cause your payload to drop. It can also happen in the mig 21 iirc.
Basher54321 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 This takes a bit of getting used to - I have resigned myself to saying goodbye to one or both missiles in close. Also not sure I have managed to fly a mission yet without at least one drop tank coming off and landing on a bunch of houses - good job Gulags are not implemented.
OverStratos Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Hello, The R-3S missiles were a late update made to the MiG-19P so the airframe was not designed for them. Because of this missiles will fall if you pull more than 6Gs. The only thing that is designed to withstand all the Gs the aircraft can pull (8G) are the ORO-57K rocket pods. The other limitations are as usual at least until 4th gen aircraft for full external tanks and bombs (5G)
