MARLAN_ Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) I often find myself testing missile performance for my virtual wing's BVR timelines. Previously the AA-10C would F-pole at ~21nm (Mutual ~35K/~M1.0 launch) then after an undocumented change the F-pole dropped to about ~18nm. Now currently I've noticed the AA-10C goes ballistic (starts falling out of the sky) at about ~21-22nm. I do not know exactly what kind of performance the missile should have, and if this is intended/correct-as-is, totally fine as I have no clue what the missile performance should be, but it does feel very weak right now. However assuming this is intended/correct-as-is it raises another issue that it appears the AI is then firing well outside of valid parameters. Possibly can also be attributed to the "GS dive" coupled with the current radar look-down/up issues, appears their missile is not flying a smooth path which causes excessive drag and massive loss in performance.

TaxDollarsAtWork Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Currently it has less motor burn time than it aught. We are hoping the full CFD may fix somethings about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tagged this as "fixed" as it seems their performance is back to expected (at least what it was previously, not that it's perfect or anything) since 2.7.15.25026 -- but I did not use any defenses during that test except for a crank and was highly reproducible at the time. 1 Virtual CVW-8 - The mission of Virtual Carrier Air Wing EIGHT is to provide its members with an organization committed to presenting an authentic representation of U.S. Navy Carrier Air Wing operations in training and combat environments based on the real world experience of its real fighter pilots, air intercept controllers, airbosses, and many others.

ED Team NineLine Posted July 13, 2022 ED Team Share Posted July 13, 2022 Soooooo we just feel like it is wrong? Do we have any evidence to suggest this? I cannot go to the devs with feelings. So it feels ok now? Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot go to the devs with feelings. So it feels ok now? When I first posted this, the missile was falling out of the sky after about 10-15nm of flight. That would mean there was a bug in either AI DLZ calculation because AI was firing outside of Raero, or the missile was not performing as expected. It would have been one of the two, but I did say I do not know which, because I don't know how the missile is expected to perform. Anyway, it is back to normal now, so it feels okay now.
