Boberro Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Another thing about the Vihkr... (not sure if it's been discussed before) But its a great Air-to-air missile in the hands of the AI. Hokums and Su-25T when flown by the AI have shot me down many times with the Vihkr. They are very accurate and can't really be spoofed, and I have only managed to evade one EVER though I'm usually ! in an A-10A when I get shot at by them. I have tested them in the Su-25T against enemy fighters and I can't even lock them up in the TV with or without laser ranging. Unfair... though I guess if you could use them Air-to-air in a multiplayer server, everyone would be bitching about it. But I wish I could stop the AI using them this way... is it possible? Perhaps a line in the missiletable.sht would fix it. Vikhrs are too dangerous in AA in LO. But as GGTharos said we can't fix anything so to lock and destroy enemy fighter set lock gate on TV from 20 up to 22. On big planes I set even 40-60 (example Tu-95 Bear). Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

They obviously are not using the same Shkval we are. ;)

First time happened to me. AI uses really future technology :D Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make...

plane00 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Posted October 5, 2008 AI's vikhr.... I think different... Real efficiency of Vikhr is not open to anyone. and in LOFC, Using vikhr by us(player) is too fixed(??), ornamented(flight of vikhr) and not interesting(??), not handlable. But about Vikhr used by AI , I don't think it's so magic and so exaggerated. AI also often missed ground targets at close distance.and I have shot down some helicopters easily with su25t with vikhr .... It is not impossible.It is fairly easy Personally, I hope accuracy of vikhr more high or same as now, but I disagree retrograding Vikhr even it is AI's
Majesco Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 Vikhr/ Shkval video footage from Youtube, i think it's nearly similar to LO :D http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Z03y04imhQg

First time happened to me. AI uses really future technology :D You bet it does. Here- in this shot- we have a defensive fighter. he has been tail-on aspect for more than 8 seconds well beyond the signal shelf-life on the berioza. Yet- as you can see- he has a full STT lock on me. I don't think he ever dropped the lock. (before getting killed) By the way- the other plane beaming me on the HDD is a C130.

GGTharos Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Only because its a tail-on, non-maneuvering shot. If you tried to do this to a maneuvering aircraft, the Vikhr will miss. To drive the point home further, if you tried to launch at a fixed wing aircraft traveling faster than landing speed at an angle different that head-on or tail-on (co-altitude!) the Vikhr wouldn't track.

RvEYoda Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 After you've done a2g in a viper.....everything else (except the Strike eagle) becomes rather....dumb :) S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'

plane00 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 IN video of vikhr footage, It's very close range and not much spiral just look more stable at my view..
AldoUSMC Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Employing Multiple Vikhrs from an SU 25T Hi All, I created a somewhat short video (under 3 minutes) on YouTube..no voice...just text and the in-sim video of how to set up and employ two Vikhrs per shot from the SU 25T. You can view the video here : I hope you find it useful. I made it in response to a question I was asked by another sim-pilot while flying on the 104th's Phoenix Squadron's Server.
