Tiger-II Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 Hi, In light of some people having issues with the BRM laser rockets, here's my technique with the latest OB. I can get 3 missiles off per pass, but note I'm encountering PULL UP after the 3rd one... :megalol: Max missile firing range is around 4 NM from the target, so I suggest you do any set up/maneuvering/aircraft positioning beyond this range. I have had good success with the following profile: Whatever my slant range to the target, double it for the required altitude. If I'm 6 miles from the target, I need to be at 12000 ft. This results in a 20 degree attack angle down onto the target. My IAS starts at 300 kts, and I descend with the brakes out at idle thrust (an advantage here is that the jet is slow enough to find a target, cools the exhaust nozzle, and minimizes IR signature - though I'm not sure this is modelled in DCS). Before reaching the maximum engagement range for the rocket, I'm lined up with the target and stable. As soon as I get IN RNG firing cue, I pickle the first rocket. As soon as I see impact on the TGP I'm picking the second target. At this point you can choose to turn away and set up for a second pass, or if the target area is fairly quiet you can try for a third shot, but it will be fire, PULL UP, and run. By the time the second rocket is fired the aircraft will be heading towards 400 kts. This is a nice speed for escape. Fly away, climb, and set up for a second, third... pass. :D:joystick: 1 Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover.

Tiger-II Posted June 18, 2020 Author Posted June 18, 2020 Those rockets are scary accurate. To think thats a real thing now Some might argue "too powerful!", but they wouldn't have bothered making them require a laser designator if it didn't work. It's like the difference between a dumb bomb and an LGB. I don't think anyone doubts the precision of an LGB, so why a rocket should be any different, I don't know. BRM-1 is the JDAM of rockets.
