chief Posted October 22, 2020 Author Posted October 22, 2020 Come on ED, fix this already. How many years has it been now? Sheesh 1
dundun92 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Umm the new API hasnt been out for "years", the AMRAAM just got it a few months ago and there are definitely issues with it. Patience is key. Also, at least for the magic INS, this appears to be caused by the F-14s TWS memory mode and may not be completely due to the lack of new API API (as STT AIM-54s do NOT have magic INS, and neither to any of the other ARH missiles on the old API (Just R-77 as of rn)).

Max1mus Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Easy way to increase sales huh? Make the new plane OP until the sales drop and steady, then fix it. Love the real representation of weapons. *sarcasm* This has been a massive problem. I hope ED puts an end to this arms race between developers soon. On the topic of G, the R-3R in DCS can pull 20+G and yet it is easily outmaneuvered inside perfect parameters with enough energy remaining. An AIM-54 could be capable of doing 60Gs but not have the lift to hit anything if it aquires a target too far off the nose. We all await the promised takeover of all missiles by Eagle Dynamics, it needs to be a much higher priority than it is now.

nighthawk2174 Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 On the topic of G, the R-3R in DCS can pull 20+G and yet it is easily outmaneuvered inside perfect parameters with enough energy remaining. There's more to this than just Glimit, it also depends on the lift values which for all the older missiles were reduced due to issues with the old guidance system. An AIM-54 could be capable of doing 60Gs but not have the lift to hit anything if it aquires a target too far off the nose. 60G's? Where did you get this number from more like very high teens for the A's and mid 20's for the C.
Blinky.ben Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 We all await the promised takeover of all missiles by Eagle Dynamics, it needs to be a much higher priority than it is now. I for one am not looking forward to this at all. 3rd party modules with weapons issue I believe will never be in the higher priority category for ED and as we all know they already have more work then they can handle just with their own bugs. Plus I also have a few trust issues with ED having total control of 3rd party weapons. We still need the 3rd party to fight against any biased wrong doing.

It's the only way for all weapons in the game to be consistent with one another. Note that I'm not saying balanced. I'm saying consistent, as in the same limitations, simplifications and/or improvements and changes should be applied across the board. 1 The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

captain_dalan Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Easy way to increase sales huh? Make the new plane OP until the sales drop and steady, then fix it. Love the real representation of weapons. *sarcasm* I think some people may be overestimating the role that competitive MP flyers play in the overall sales that ED has. Just go and count all the people you can find during weekends on all the servers DCS will give you. And then compare it with the membership size of an average facebook DCS group. You'll be lucky if you account of 1% of that number. Or even better, as ED to tell you how many planes they've sold. Even more then that, those offline people, they all move mud. Just to illustrate with the personal example ( anecdotal i know), when couple of weeks ago ED updated the blackout modeling, the first thing i did was hopped in the F-14, F-16 and F-18 and did some aerobatic check runs. Immediately after that, i went to the FB group, reported my findings and aside from 3 guys there, sharing their thoughts and experiences, nothing. Everyone was about some new bombs implemented and sensor pods and what not. Trust me man, the greatest part of ED's customer's base doesn't give 2 bits for missile guidance and dynamics. And then people wonder why ED won't do a dedicated F-15A/C....... well why would they? The first thing someone asks out there about any new plane, is if it can do multi-role! This was so even when the F-14 was first announced.
