CM-802AKG + TPOD

[MaRaud3r]

The AKG bugs out and just does loops every time I use a targeting pod with a SPI to launch it.

 

 

Any ideas?

[Tiger-II]

Hmm yes. Do you have a datalink pod?

 

There was a bug, too, where this could be induced at will.

 

I'm not sure you're aware, so just in case:

 

C-802AK - this is the autonomous version. It will seek its target automatically. Can have automated route guidance to target area.

 

C-802AKG - this is the MITL (Man-In-The-Loop) version. It can guide its way automatically to the target, but instead of seeking the target automatically at the end, it requires you be in a position to control it via datalink. Its use requires carriage of the data-link pod.

 

To set up route waypoints, you can pre-program the data cartridge via the F-10 map using named waypoints. Route points are named RP1, RP2, RP3, RP4, and RP5. Make sure the last waypoint is 10 NM from the target to give you time to fly the missile where you want it to go. Use the RP points in order. You can use none, or between 1 and 5 points, but they must be contiguous and start at 1.

 

Only one set of route points can be pre-loaded. If you want two missiles to fly two different routes, the route for the second missile MUST be programmed in flight via the UFC.

 

MITL missile has the requirement that you are in the rear +/- 20 degrees of the missile in the terminal phase, both horizontally and vertically. Prior to this, the missile is autonomous and does not require a datalink.

 

To give you an idea for the area you can be when controlling the missile:

 

If you're 10 NM away from the missile when controlling it, you can be no higher than 20700 ft, and you must remain within 3 NM of a point on the ground immediately behind the missile.

 

If you're 20 NM away, double the limits, etc.

 

You can turn the missile, but only a few degrees. If you lose datalink, the missile will fly the last trajectory to impact.

 

The missile has a range of about 70 NM (launched from 25000 ft) and can be controlled up to 40 NM away (IIRC).

I believe the reception cone for the missile is 120 degrees, pod reception goes out to 280km though I think it’s 300km in game, and missile range should go to 230km, but I think it can go way further then that at high altitude. The new FM should fix a few things

Damn it - why do I keep thinking it is only 70 NM?! Thanks!

 

 

I'll go try the reception cone, but I'm fairly sure it is narrow (at least in the sim).

Probably becuase the Hornet with its Wall Eye pod is limited to about 40nm or so and a lot of people are talking about it now that it has SLAM:)

I didn't no. Was using Tpod as per the title and Chucks guide.

 

 

Seems to bug out if you don't have a datalink pod.

Not really. It's the anti-ship version. I tried vs land tgts and couldnt get it to work.

Without the data link pod it’s probely that it can’t know when to ignore the onboard terrain avoidance radar altimeter. It’s INS is just not accurate enough anyways if it could, not after such a long trip. So it needs the DL pod for a hit every time. Sometimes I use them without the data link pod as decoys:megalol:

I never specified if it was anti-ship or not. ;)

 

 

Deka's own videos show the MITL being used against all manner of ground targets, not only ships.

 

 

My understanding is the autonomous version will gets itself to the target area, then look for anything RADAR reflective. Obviously a ship is a large target, but it might work against EWR RADAR for example.

 

 

I'm sure it can be used in this role. MITL certainly can.

The AKG requires the datalink pod for terminal guidance.

Evil! :D

I've used it against Neutrashimy successfully. It was much better than AK version as it can be controlled to fly down low to avoid nasty Tor. Its awesome.
