Something weird about the agm84d harpoon


Recommended Posts

Screen shot first, tacview:

I am testing about the range of the harpoon, and I launched it 60nm away from the target. Launch with r/bl mode with HIGH profile.

The missile went up to 65000ft! My launching altitude is 38000ft.

From the manual, p.317 and p.318, it says the high altitude flight profile should be 35000ft, while this drunken fisherman above went to 65000ft!

And here comes the even more funny thing:

At the final approach, the missile strike straight down from above, with angle even larger than 90 degree:

This flight profile looks like a loft profile, and I was using the HIGH profile launch option. Maybe it is a new feature? or maybe devs just mess them up?

Any ideas?

That's weird.

The AGM-84 family shouldn't climb at all.

The altitude your set prior launch, sets the maximum altitude. If your setting is higher as your launch altitude, it would even stay on its altitude.

If it's lower it will decend to your setting.

 

Can you reproduce it? Have you a track file?
