I'll check tonight and see if i have any issues (I have a SEAD practice mission with the A-4 ready to go). Any chance you could share a track file? I can replay it and see if there is a difference in how they track on my install. I also have the F-4 mod but haven't had issue yet.

If i cant get anything figured out tonight i will post a track file here.

The Shrikes are good you just have to get within 7 - 10mi. And if your shooting at 500ft MSL and below you WILL have misses. I'd carry 4X and call it a day. If you are brave you can low-five fish or squirrels and pop up attack the SAM, pop Chaff/Flares and 'peace out' as well. I had to notch 3 or four times last I did it.

Seems to be a pretty common issue on the A-4E-C discord. Only problem is, there's nothing the A-4 team can do. Missile is ED's once it leaves the rail. If I get time I'll go post a bug report somewhere appropriate on the forums here.

Are you all entirely sure you aren't pulling the short stick statistically? I almost exclusively carry 4 of them, and almost every time 1-2 of them fails to track for me. I can see if you are only carrying 2, you may see lots of situation where both fail to track?

I tried 6 or 7 times last night. All within 9nm( down to almost 2 nm) with the AGM-45B and AGM-45A. All 4 of 4 shrikes failed to track. Note, I want to be clear that they failed to TRACK at all. If you want, go to the DCS bug reports, I’ve posted some track files there under the bug report that was started by @Moosemermaid . Also, if you check out the A-4 discord, there’s been significant discussion going on about this issue there as well.

For anyone having this issue, I was on the A4E Discord last night and this is a common issue and seems to be on ED side. After some testing last night, out of about 30 shrikes launched in an isolated test mission between 2 aircraft, we had 1 track. Hopefully this will get fixed soon. I do have a post open in weapon bugs report currently. Maybe @BIGNEWY will see this as well. ❤️

Hi, 

I will mention it to the team, but we can not test with user mods so it maybe difficult. Hopefully the future addition will help 

thank you

Yes, I have the same problem with the A4/F4. All my Shrikes didn't track the radar.

Understand, I figured maybe the new shrike development could be playing a part in why things have become unstable. Appreciate your guys hard work!

Well, I removed the F4 mod and the shrike still head down into the water, I know the radar can see me cos it shot me down🤣.  The only other thing I changed about this mission was I added some different boat mods, removed them and it was just the same.  Stumped🫤

I just downloaded version 2.2 yesterday. I haven't read this thread on the forum. I put SA6 and sent two AI A-4E there. Their AGM-45 missiles hit exactly on target. When I flew by myself, my rockets didn't hit anywhere and the game gave an error after exiting it.

I know this is being looked at but I ran a test myself. I had 4 seperate bird with 'Veteran' status and 4X Shrikes on the Sinai map at 400kts and 500 FT. None of them hit or even went for the target I designated in the attack zone. I just tried in my own Skyhawk on Enigma's server just now and they went straight into the dirt= maybe 2mi ahead of me. I fired 1 and then another about 1min apart. I was at 12000MSL for the first one and then 7000MSL for the second.

Has there been any resolution to this?  I just started learning the A-4, so figured I was doing something wrong.

Weapons station selected, dial set to Bombs and GM arm , master arm on, wait for it to start shrieking at me, release weapon - shrike flies in a slightly descending line and hits the ground.

I love Skyhawk currently, nice to see more and more content coming, also seeing both Syria and Sinai map getting better as time progress, so curiosity forcing me to ask if Israeli variant with 30mm DEFA cannons is planned. Would be great chance to show other devs realistic effects of firing big cannons 🙂

Amazing mod! Pretty new to DCS and this is the first module I have learned, and just love it!
Have the same issue with Shrikes though. Tried about all settings I can think of (radar on/off, autocorrect on/off, different heights, speed, etc) and nothing seems to work. Have had a missile track once, on a Vulcan of all things, and hit. The missiles were bad... but perhaps not that bad!

You had a shrike track on a Vulcan bomber?

it happened during Desert Storm between an F-4G and a B-52. the tailgun had a radar guided gun.

i searched a little and did not see mention of a taigun in the vulcan though.

Guess he means an M113 APC with a Vulcan on top of it.

Would have been more fun if the Vulcan mod had been released, tailgunner or not.
Oh, well. Let's see what the Lancaster brings.

Easy to b mix up when it's such a popular name in both the armed forces and the gaming industry.
