darkman222 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 After I shot some rounds the BATR symbol shows up. The manual is very unclear about what to do with it and whats it for. Can someone clarify? I find it distracting in vR because it looks like the pipper. Can it be turned off somewhere?
G.J.S Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 After I shot some rounds the BATR symbol shows up. The manual is very unclear about what to do with it and whats it for. Can someone clarify? I find it distracting in vR because it looks like the pipper. Can it be turned off somewhere? The BATR symbol is a 6 millirad circle displayed as the first gun round passes through the computed target range, and disappears immediately after the last round has passed through the same. I don’t think it is removable as it does provide a function. - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
darkman222 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Posted October 9, 2020 I see. But what is the practical use for it. How do I use it?
Frederf Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 It's a prediction of where the simulated or non-simulated rounds are in the HUD when they pass the distance at target range. They are for visual feedback of pilot accuracy in training and combat. The relative position of the BATR and target represents aiming misalignment. BATR is distinguished from the pipper by being larger (6mr) and having a dot in the center. Also the BATR symbol is transient showing only when the fired rounds are passing the target range (first round to last round). BATR is a permanent feature of the level III through V EEGS.
darkman222 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Posted October 9, 2020 Got it. Thanks for the detailed answer. The DCS F16 manual should be updated with your answer!
darkman222 Posted October 24, 2020 Author Posted October 24, 2020 One more question. I found this video showing the use of BATR. Go to 4:55 minutes. You can see in this video that the target just flies a steady turn. The level 5 pipper is perfectly over the target and the hits are also perfect. But the BATR shows up in front of the target. So my assumption would be that this shot should have missed according to the BATR. Sorry I guess I need one more explanation to understand it.
Florence201 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Don’t trust GR and their explanations hahahaha 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
darkman222 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Posted October 27, 2020 My problem is, I didn't even get their explanation. But I thought I had understood it before I watched that video. Either I am mistaken in how I thought BATR should work, or the behavior of the BATR in DCS is wrong. This is what I try to figure out.
Frederf Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 The BATR symbol should be placed at the same location relative to the TD circle as the pipper when opening fire. It doesn't appear to be placed correctly in that video.
Bouli306 Posted November 2, 2020 Posted November 2, 2020 BATR is mainly used for debriefing purposes to show where the bullets would have ended up.
