BonerCat Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Hello I've recently come across a major issue Namely, i was "Killed by R-77" according to the server, but when i later checked tacview, there was no missile nearby Here's a screenshot of the server chat: Furthermore, my wingman (AnnaWings) says the same happend on her tacview recording. No missile ever got close to me. I m linking a short recording of my tacview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUholTNPCbI As well as the tacview file itself and the track replay: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZD9QjikFu1yhkkm_WHfdirE5Y8wafCwl?usp=sharing I can also attach the tacview of my wingman, however, it shows the same thing, so there isnt much point. Unfortunately, i have no access to serverside tacview or track file. There's still some major synch issues here. Maybe on server side the missile was fired sooner(?).

Caster Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Tacview can be unreliable, especially when planes can be considered "dead" but still fly fine, when this happens they can disappear completely from tacview. It's more likely the tacview is wrong than you randomly exploding (although not impossible) Fly fast and leave a pretty wreck

It's more likely the tacview is wrong than you randomly exploding (although not impossible) I was flying the plane when it exploded. This part is not under any doubt from me. The plane did explode, as if it has taken a missile. Plus, there's a screenshot in the original post of the server saying i was killed by R-77.

I meant that the plane firing the missle may have been considered dead. I've taken a hit before on GAW, the server think's I'm dead, but only minor damage. I flew around a bit more and landed, but as far as tacview & the server was concerned I died with that missile, and stopped being visible. Fly fast and leave a pretty wreck
Caster Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 To clarify further, if the server considered the enemy place to already be dead, you likely would not see the missle fired on tacview either Fly fast and leave a pretty wreck
BonerCat Posted April 16, 2021 Author Posted April 16, 2021 Oh, that's what you mean Yeah, it's true that DCS will sometimes consider a unit dead, despite the fact it was only crippled. However, the munitions dispensed still show on the map and tacview IIRC Modules: F-14, F-15C, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, A-10C, A-10C II, AV-8B N/A, MiG-29, Su-33, MiG-21 Bis, F-5E, P-51D, Ka-50, Mi-8, Sa 342, UH-1H, Combined Arms Maps and others: Persian Gulf, Syria, Normandy, WWII Assets, NS 430 + Mi-8 NS 430
