reported AGM 84D SKIM height Crashes to water all the time.

[DarkStar79]

Dont know if this have been reported, But if you launch the Harpoon and set it to skim surface it crashes to water all the time, If I use popup settings, it works as it should..

 

These testings where used using TGP as designation.

Hi

 

you need to wait for the timer and you are not setting your distance and bearing with the UFC, if you set them the Harpoon will skim correctly.

 

thanks

I was shooting in R/BL mode and used the TGP to designate the target. I dont need to set any distance or bearing then.

 

When im using the TGP to designate in R/BL mode it crashes to water all the time still, and if I use popup it works perfect. Do the test in R/BL mode..

[DarkStar79]

Have tested like 10 times now. And all crashes to water in R/BL mode..

Apologies I will check again.

Reported,

 

it is not happening every time for me, but I have reproduced and reported to the team

 

thanks

Haven't seen this either, and I do skim attacks with relative frequency using mid and low cruise heights. Mid height tends to cause the harpoon to explode (usually a few seconds after the Krivak fires a missile at it), with low it never fails to hit the ship, which leads to other unrelated questions.

 

 

Also not having issues hitting cargo ships using skim, so something is different somewhere. If it helps I never start searching until at least five miles, so the GWDOD has time to stabilize at cruise height, more or less.

Where you shooting in R/BL mode and used the TGP to designate the target?

I thought R/BL was not implemented yet. So do we have R/BL actually simulated? Didn't Wags say that it was going to be implemented once the AG SEA mode was? Are SKIM and POP both implemented? We used to have only one of them simulated, I can't remember which one was.

R/BL works, but it's only available for selection with a target designation present. You can use the TGP or WPDSG until we get A/G SEA.

Thanks Harker.

It looks as though this is happening again. I'm using stable V2.5.6.55960 and the AGM-84D is crashing into the sea when using the skim setting in R/BL mode. It was not this way in the previous stable version. I also have seen it appeared to be fixed in a previous change log. Can this be checked again please.

Hi all,

I'm still experiencing this issue running Stable 2.5.6.59625.1, it happens more often than not using those particular settings.  Is anyone seeing the same and can ED please check to see if this remains an open item to repair.

 

Thanks in advance.

[BIGNEWY]

We do still have a report open for this. 

 

As soon as it is fixed it will be in the change log

 

thanks
