RocketmanAL Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Put this guide together for mission planning purposes. Provides employment range and time of flight for the various stand-off weapons in DCS at different altitudes. Ranges represent max employment range as calculated by the aircraft at the speed and altitudes listed. TOF was measured in-game, but only used single runs. So some variance can be expected. Also the SLAM-ER appears to be a bit bugged right now, and when using the HIGH flight profile will cause the missile to fly low instead. Guide reflects current behavior in game.

I'd like to try and create a simple spreadsheet where you can enter target distance, launch altitudes, desired time on target, etc. and it will automatically query the graphs and interpolate the appropriate TALD/HARM launch separation & launch times. Having the original Excel file would make this much easier!
