OldIronsides Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Curious if the aim-54 is now working like it did in the past? Dont want to drop money unless that missile is working correctly! I ask because it looked like it worked 1-2 years ago than something changed.. than they tried fixing it. DCS: F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations - Hotfix February 4th 2022 Adjusted AIM-54 terminal guidance, significantly improving AIM-54 overall performance. If it didnt break they wouldnt have said they improved its performance. Edited May 29, 2022 by OldIronsides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinyMikey Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The AIM-54 works like it is supposed to. It didn't stop working correctly before, rather heatblur was in the process of correcting it to make it more accurate. I use the Phoenix almost everyday in MP and have no complaints. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have made a few flights against the F14 ki and from time to time i noticed that the Aim54 just loses track even though I fly only a few degrees to the side This has happened several times now and partly she does not find you then again or am I doing something wrong here?

PaulToo Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Watched it 5 times and the Phoenix hit the F-16 in each. The missile looked like it was searching at some point. Do you have a tacview? I attached one from the replay. Tacview-20220602-161352-DCS-Aim54trackmiss.trk.zip.acmi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobel Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Yes she hit it was more about the aim54 losing the track here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulToo Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 After watching the tacview a few more times it almost looks like a predefined response to the deviation from the predicted flight path before the new intercept course is calculated. As soon as you pulled up the missile turns right to cross the previous predicted flight path. Would be interesting to see if the missile turns left if the predicted flight path is to the left of the missile. The accompanying altitude dip might be because you were descending with increasing neg VS before pulling up or it could be part of the predefined response. That's how I would interpret what happened in the tacview. I only tested at high altitudes, but there the missile usually started to fly straight and with some pos VS until it exploded after losing track.
