Dirty Rotten Flieger Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 So I guess the advantage of the 530 IR over EM is that it is fire and forget. But the radar still gives away my presence. Can F1 fire it with out turning on the radar?
PiratexCore Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Yes. From the manual: Quote The MATRA R530 IR is an infrared guided medium range missile. It can be fired independently from the radar and has a limited all aspect capability.

Currently its broken in game cuz the 530 is modeled as rear aspect only (and in that regime its stupid short ranged). IRL the 530IR had a early InSb seeker that allowed limited all aspect performance, basically the target had to be supersonic/in burner against a cool background (sky) for the seeker to be able to see it and engage it. The Magic1 is also currently broken, since its supposed to rear aspect only, and currently is all aspect. personally I think someone fat fingered the seeker entries between the two so it should be an easy fix.

skywalker22 Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Can it also lock on hot targets? To some degree I would say yes, and from way sgorter range. Asking, because I don`t own the plane yet.

Asking, because I don`t own the plane yet. 530IR currently is rear aspect only, and in that regime is worthless cuz the range is like 1-2miles. If they fix it to be all aspect you should be able to get locks at around a few miles frontally and longer vs targets in burner (ED's approximation of "supersonic") New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.
