hein22 Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 So ED stated a couple of months ago that HARMs do not loft in SP because they don't know range, which makes perfect sense. In current OB HARMs do loft in SP so I was wondering what was going on there. Thanks. Stay safe
sk000tch Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I suspect you might be taking "do not loft" as an absolute. Elevation angle rate of change and flight condition allow the LOBL to utilize a variant of PN guidance (RWR slaved modes as well to a lesser extent). The flight path ends up being an arc with, in some cases, pitch stepping like you would see from a JDAM. If you compared it to a range known flight path the range known would climb much more and stay at altitude longer, though once it stiches to homing it will fly similar How much lofting are you seeing? Like what was altitude and range at launch, and how much did it climb? just a dude who probably doesn't know what he's talking about
Tholozor Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 It's been reported before, they're lofting in TOO mode as well: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=278616 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=282552 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/

Swift. Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 If you were an engineer in charge of coding the harms profile, you could definitely make it do 'a loft' using just the information it gains from its own sensor. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2
Bunny Clark Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Yup, range information isn't necessary at all to fly a lofted profile. Mavericks do it, and they never have range info. It's as simple as programming the missile to pull a certain number of Gs after launch until the LOS to the target is a certain number of degrees below the horizon. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

amalahama Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Anyway, Harm doesn't loft IRL except in PB mode, at least version C that is modelled in game, and it needs to be fixed

ED themselves said they MUST NOT loft unless in PB mode. Stay safe
