Rea3perPr0 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 AGM-84. Harpoon explodes after launch from F/A-18C Two attempts at the following configuration: Mode: BOL - Flight: Low - Term: Skim - SRCH: 5NM - DEST: 60 NM - BRG: 78° 1st attempt: 4 x AGM-84. Harpoon loaded, 1 x fired; upon pressing Weapon release button, A/C exploded instantaneously 2nd attempt: 4 x AGM-84. Harpoon loaded, 4 fired, 3/4 detached regularly, dropped aprox, 200 ft from A/C, then started to explode, 1/4 "survived" and continued regular patch Wingman confirmed 1st attempt in repetition experiment, A/C exploded upon weapon release. Harpoons were fired from 12´000 - 16´000 NM, @ aprox. 40 NM to target, @ speeds of 250-350 kts, sufficent combat spread aka separation was proved between any other A/C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v2tec Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I hoped it was fixed in the current (today) update. Unfortunately, it isn't. I will try the workaround, launch above 20k feet, instead. ________________________ ________ ______ ___ __ _ Win10 64 Pro, i7-6800K 3.4Ghz, 32 GB (DDR4), Asus Aorus 1080 TI WF, TrackIR 5 / RIFT, Thrustmaster Warthog, Fanatec Pedals, 55" oled 4k TV, Modules:A10C, KA-50, Huey, AV-8B, FA-18, F-16, NTTR, Persian Gulf _ __ ___ ____ _____ ______ _______ ____________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oyen20 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 It s not really fixed. When firing in BOL, half of your missiles decide to explode midair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v2tec Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) yeah, I figured that out too. Three missiles launched successful, the last one killed me - all the same settings. I flew the same bearing, so a collision is not the reason...

Bankler Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 On 3/31/2022 at 12:04 AM, Harker said: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/297272-harpoon-agm-84-explodes-immediately-after-launch/ In that thread, @BIGNEWYmentions firing from above 20000'. That workaround does not work. I just fired from 20.600' and the aircraft exploded. I then tried 24000', same result. So altitude isn't necessarily a component in what's causing the bug to happen. Be advised that the behavior doesn't seem to be deterministic. When I played back the 24000' .trk, the aircraft didn't explode, but that is what happened when I recorded it. Then I tried playing the .trk again and this time the aircraft DID explode. This means whatever you record, might play differently in the .trk, and may also play diffrently each time you play the track. From my testing, they indeed do not seem to explode when fired in R/BL mode though. So that workaround seems fine.

Bankler Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 @BIGNEWY Additional finding: It seems to work fine if you're pulling around 2.5 G or so when launching. This way I have able to fire several salvos of 4. It's an awkward workaround, but might be good to know when trying to find the underlying issue. 1 Bankler's CASE 1 Recovery Trainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNasty_UK Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 RBL mode in conjunction with Attk radar (SEA) works. However the SEEK option doesn't toggle. Its stuck at Medium. BOL mode still causes Harpoon to self destruct mostly every launch. With the new Falklands map, recreation of Anti Shipping sorties I think might increase.
