[REPORTED]agm-84d high and med altitude overshooting

[jppsx]

is this normal or a bug that agm-84d is not able ti hit target wen using high or med altitude it seam to overshoot the target . only low altitude work .

should I report this as a bug ?

 

in the track you see agm-84d setup for med flight literally doing a 80/90 degree dive wen it over the ship wile the one set to fly highs just totally miss the target.

Upload a track if you've got time.

 

It's been reported many times, but I'm not sure that this very obvious problem has been officially accepted by ED yet.

Just a quick one firing from the hip here but the harpoon needs the search point roughly 10nm prior to the expected target. Otherwise like you experienced it'll overshoot. But I barely used the harpoon yet and haven't checked your trk.

It's been my experience as well, I consider it a bug but IIRC ED have said it's intended - which doesn't make sense as

 

• medium (15,000 ft) and high (35,000 ft) altitude profiles overshoot or don't detect their targets.

 

• the low altitude profile (5,000 ft) starts it's descent to sea skimming height late (5 nm), so is engaged by air defences before/as it starts it's descent.

 

Just a quick one firing from the hip here but the harpoon needs the search point roughly 10nm prior to the expected target. Otherwise like you experienced it'll overshoot.

It'd didn't fix the late descent of the medium and high altitude profiles, I'm not even sure the missile detected the target group which consisted of half a dozen ships.

i used radar to get location of the ship and r/bl mod

for me the track replays show they are hitting the targets, the terminal profiles issues are reported and will be adjusted. Currently medium and high with a terminal set to skim are not working correctly.

I will mark this reported as we have the terminal issue reported already and it should help with accuracy once fixed

 

thanks
