Leviathan667 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I've noticed that the gunsight, in steep dives, is not accurate. I set up a practice mission. The aim is to hit a radar on a mountain top. I attacked the target after a pop up maneuver. Dove at about 50°. The gunsight was uncaged. The rockets were selected. The firing distance set to 2000m. The targeting set to optical. I did fire at 2000m from the target with the reticle on the target or close to it. But the rockets did hit some place beyond the target. This track is one example I recorded, among a dozen. The issue is the same whether I cage or urcage the gunsight. Whether I set the distance to 1000m or 1500m or 2000m. Whether I do a 10° dive or a 60° dive. Whether I use the gun or the rockets. When uncaged and flying level, I noticed the reticle disappears below the AR18-8 glass. If I set the armament knob to bombs, the reticle does not show up. Also, the circle size does not fit with the size of the target at the chosen distance.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 One variable i dont see here is your speed. What speed were you on your initial roll in, what speed did you exit your dive.

Leviathan667 Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks for the quick reply. In kph and according to the tacview file: Begining of the dive = IAS 330 TAS 400 When firing the rockets = IAS 680 TAS 725 Dive exit = IAS 850 TAS 880 Wishlist: Tornado ADV/IDS, Blackburn Buccaneer, Super Mystère B2, Saab J 35 Draken, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 AFAIK the gunfight is accurate. Im going to fly the plane later this week and thoroughly go through and see if its you or it is in fact the aircraft. Do note that it is not a point and shoot sight. You have to follow certain parameters like you would with iron bombs or guns. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane.

AeriaGloria Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Has this come back?
