AI AIM-54 engagement not exceeding 20'ish nm


Recommended Posts

While doing some work on a campaign the question came up of which AI aircraft is best for CAP.  We assumed F-14 with 54's.

 

Set a pair of 14's against a pair of 16's as a starting point to test this.  The 14's lost every time because they would not fire until they were within 20'ish NM of the target.  By that time the 16's had long since turned and launch 120's.  We tried both of the Heatblur A and B 14's against said the 16's multiple times with different approaches and target reaction settings with no change.  Then tried against something something bigger just to be sure (B-52's to be exact). The result was the same, AIM-54's at about 20NM.  

 

Just to be extra sure we set up the original DCS F-14A to see what would happen.  AIM-54 shot at around 75NM for a kill.
