Shkval tweaking :)

[Boberro]

As I very like, love Su25T I use it often. Is it any possibility to tweak Shkval to be better than now? Example even at 6 morning (visibility is good) Shkval doesn't snaps, gate resizing doesn't change it. And also would be good to maneuver it easier, it could faster snaps, it could also easier snaps flying objects, I tried by 40 minutes to "catch" a10 on Shkval - it didn't. Do you have also big FPS drop when using TV?

Set your LandLodDistances/MFD to 20 000/30 000 in the Config.CFG File and save. Will ID targets a wee bit easier.

 

Also, set you gate size to 20M when Hog-Hunting and you'll lock them No Problem :)

Keep in mind that TV system is all optical and at low visibility or early/late daylight hours there is not much light to get solid lock onto a target... however if you can see it and lock the TDS right onto the target itself (TDS being locked onto that point on the ground) and fire when in range you will still guide the missile and hit the target... so a lock is not really required at all... as long as you long onto the ground. For moving targets this is bit of a problem though as you need to keep scrolling the TDS anf follow the moving target untill and if your Vikhrs hit... so for moving targets a lock is kind of required :)

How is that done in LOCFG?

Referring to the editing of the Config.CFG File [LandLodDistances/MFD] - I would honestly have no idea. I have tried installing LOCFG numerous times without success......always an error of sorts.........so all editing I undertake is done manually.

Use the Shkval system for ground targets not for air targets. However you might be successful at parked or taxiing air targets on the ground.

 

I agree with you Bobbero that is difficult to slew the TD on targets with the keyboard as I generally overshoot them. The best way is to lock the target designator/tv cursor within a reasonable distance in the hud and then make fine adjustments in the tv display. Initially keep the tv magnification low or medium until you can see targets clearly and then you can increase magnification and target size afterwards for more precision.

I've never used it myself because I prefer manual editing but go into: Optimizations\Textures&Canopy. Set MFD textures clearness to: Static Objects=20000, Dynamic Objects=30000 as suggested by 159th_Viper. Or play with those numbers and see what works best.

 

BTW people. What's config.cfg? I assume we're talking about graphics.cfg?

 

EDIT:

Not sure if you are advising that it's not worth locking airborne targets or if you are saying it can't be done. If the latter, that's incorrect. Here's a short video (11.2MB) of an A-10 losing to a Vikhr. As you can see, the A-10 is locked: A-10 vs Shkval/Vikhr.

Quite Right - Momentary Lapse of ...............:)

Thanks for CFG help, now I can see targets from even 30 km or 40 km :D, but I dunno know by this or something else broken that my FPS when using TV broken down to 3-4 FPS, so I had to set all to LOW or none. But TV is more important than eye candy. I wanna use Shkval cause it is very funny using Vihr against planes especially slow A-10, and often use it on TUAF Server, but I wanna tweak it to have example like that I go my aim TV cursor on a10 and hit lock and it locks, not that I have to maneuver and ect... Know that shkval isn't projected to attack airbornes, but is any possibility to increase its capabilities to have easier locks like A-10?

No Tweaks Needed: Set the gate size to 20m and you'll have no problem locking Airborne Targets. Locks first time every time as above :thumbup:

[Force_Feedback]

The Shkval IS designed to lock up airborne targets, best gate size is 22m, that's why the Vikhr has a proximity fuse, it too IS designed to engage airborne targets.

[GGTharos]

As an afterthought, it is capable of it. It isn't a particularly effective A2A weapon against anything but helis or head or tail on attacks on slow aircraft.
