HARM POS PB mode quick question

[Xeno 1-1 HuDz]

In wags video he mentions that in RUK mode the sam has to be within a 20nm radius of the steerpoint. So my question is whats the radius of PB mode? Cant seem to find any detail of it in the manual or online. Cheers.

5nm I believe.

Matt describes the range as much smaller than RUK, which i believe is 20nm.

@Invisibull Yeah I got that bit, but how much smaller is smaller. I'll tell you why I ask, most multiplayer servers I play on have WP on each airport more or less at the dead center of the airport, and lets say the SAM is at the north edge of the runway about 2nm away, would this waypoint be accurate enough for PB mode and if so what is the upper limit. Cheers.

I'd say Astronaut is prob correct, but it would be easy enough to figure it out with a little experimentation.  The 23rd's Discord is https://discord.gg/Py4ckB3zAT  I could put a mission up on our server, which would probably help figure it out pretty quickly if you're interested.

Yeah would be worth a shit id should get tine to play a little tobight

Xeno, I got impatient!  Interesting results so far.  If I fly directly toward SP, and fire harms when SAM is 10nm away, harms immediately make a sharp turn and will kill SAM.  If I however, fly toward SAM and fire on it with SP 10 miles away, harms will fly right over SAM toward WP.   Just tried from 12nm and they made same sharp turn (90d).  See smoke plumes.   OK, just tried from 15 miles and another hit!

Sorry pal my whole family ended up coming around to visit so couldnt make it. Cool results though looks like it should work fine since sams would probably only be like less 5nm away, were you lofting also in this test?
