White Russsian Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 I have been looking through the Tacview recording of my dogfighting practice runs in my F16 vs various Russian jets (AI-controlled) as I came across this strange incident where a SU-33 seems to be shooting its gun at me at what looks like a 15-20 degree angle off its nose, i.e. it hit me without having to point its nose into my flight path. Am I missing something here or is there indeed something wrong with the physics of this shot? I have attached the full Tacview file with the incident at 19:03 (apologies, I am not sure if it possible to produce a excerpt of a Tacview). Situation Overview: Su-33 Takes a shot at an angle off its nose; And hits me without ever pointing its nose into my flight path: Tacview-20210101-120339-DCS-jp_BFM training.zip.acmi
GGTharos Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 If there's a bug/issue it's with tacview, not the Su-33. Also, if this is an online recording, the desync can easy cause things to appear like this. The bandit's tacview would show the nose pointed correctly.
