dresoccer4 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 quick q: looking in chucks guide i'm a little confused, can you use the SLAM ER without the data link pod? Will it still hit targets accurately?

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 10, 2021 ED Team Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hi, SLAM-ER is not released yet. But, when it is, it does not require man in the loop, It can be 100% INS/GPS guided. thanks 1 1 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

As it turns out, at least for SP missions (for me), if you use slam on a precise WP, it will most likely hit without any intervention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be that accurate, but that inaccuracy is not modelles properly imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to me today, several times. I tried launching it closer and with LOW FLT profile, but it wouldn't go lower than around 5000 ft and is still targeted. One of my SLAMs was also shot down by a Tunguska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...there goes my strategy for taking out a SA-10 from distance with the upcoming SLAM-ER. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Not sure why people are expecting single-weapon kills ... I realize it might work on occasion IRL and in-game, but these types of actions really require saturation attacks. 2 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to be shot down 100% of the time, but ED claimed they adjusted the RCS of several weapons and I'm wondering if the JSOW is one of them, because I've gotten several into SA-10 sites recently. My understanding is that in reality this weapon is designed to be stealthy and therefore harder for an air defense system to intercept... I'm wondering if they've tweaked the weapon a bit to model that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if they've tweaked the weapon a bit to model that? We have been using the JSOWs to conduct Wild Weasels. Once the SA-10 site was no longer launching missiles, we would go in for the kill. If we can now use JSOWs to take down the TR radar, that will give us more flexible. I will test tomorrow. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way for that to work should be with SOJ support or with massive distractions - or just as before, a saturation attack. It's not that the RCS shouldn't be low, it's that you can still see it coming from quite far enough by the radar equation.

Kang Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It's almost as if the solution to something literally saying 'air defence system' on the box might not be air attack. (Yes, yes, it works perfectly fine for most of the old-timey models, but that is mostly because you clobber them with space weapons from the future) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
