flavnet Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 How is it possible for an Igla missile to hit a falling GBU-10? You might reply that this could happen by an incredible stroke of luck. Well, that's what happens regularly in DCS. Seeing is believing.

razo+r Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 SAMs engaging cruise missiles (and glide bombs) is normal for DCS. Shooting bombs though (LGBs, GBUs, Mk-8X) would be something new.

Its understandable for SAMs like Tor, but manpads are IR-guided and a glide bomb probably wont be particularly hot. 9 minutes ago, razo+r said: Shooting bombs though (LGBs, GBUs, Mk-8X) would be something new. Yep, havent seen them shooting at those. I suspect its caused by what category in loadout screen the weapon is in. It seems SAMs simply shoot at anything categorized in the "AG missiles" menu, including tiny APKWS. This thread is about a different bug though - manpads shouldnt have the ability to shoot at any munitions at all. The same way SA-2 doesnt shoot at glide bombs. ED probably forgot to (un)set a flag somewhere in some Lua definition. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X GPU: AMD RX 580
Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Thanks @dorianR666, I'll try to reproduce this and make a track out of it. Same thing for the GBU. ---
Blinky.ben Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Just a note to point out when trying to replicate things. Remember manpad is affected by the sun now or early morning. So test it in ideal conditions. 1
Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 The attack came from the north, at 5pm. Targets were defended by Igla and Igla-S launchers. MANPADs didn't shoot the 5 GBU-10 bombs, MANPADs didn't shoot the 5 LS-6-500 glide bombs. GBU10-vs-MANPADs.trk LS-6-500-vs-MANPADs.trk 1 ---
