Hello

I've been performing test shots with the AGM-84 SLAM to make them more effective and less vulnerable to short range SAMs such as SA-15,19,8,etc
so as we know in DCS if you fly with an altitude at least 24000 feet mentioned SAMs including the HQ7 won't be able to fire at you
so the missiles should fly high and fast to prevent the SAM to defend in time
however the profile is easy 
-Launch Altitude :40000 feet (above 25000)
-Launch Speed :+mach1
-Weapon setting :
{ heading : undefined / heading towards target
angle : 90
velocity :999
profile :high }
Mode : Pre-Planned (specifically coordinated each weapon) , also possible with TOO
result : for AGM-84E this setting worked wonderfully and if performed correctly SAM-15,8,19 never been able to take a shot


However it's not the same case with AGM-84H SLAM-ER 
upon delivery of H variant , the missile manages to fly the entered setting until a certain range to target where it starts to descend and ignore terminal parameters this makes them easily shot down by SAMs mentioned above.

I understand SLAM is not a SEAD weapon but I'm trying to challenge this weapon and put it into use to it's best
there should be a point to use the long range benefit of this weapon , otherwise JDAMs would be enough

=============================================================================================================


I will share the track files and tacviews with you : 


-trk: SLAMSTESTHORNET1 : is AGM-84E test , even though 2/4 targets survived but at least missiles hit their targets without getting shot at | acmi file relative to this track is : AGM-84E1

-trk : SLAMERTESTHORNET : is AGM-84H test , as described above missiles ignored the terminal parameters and got shot at even though they scored kills , | acm file relative to this track is : AGM-84H1

-acmi : AGM-84E2OLD is a tacview file I've saved a long time ago showing a 4/4 kill with excellent profile execution the SA-19 was late enough to respond where the missile went into its face
===========================================================================================================
JSOWs also have a similar issue by ignoring their manual profile

EDIT : I just realized I've posted this thread on Russian category of DCS world this happened accidentally
sorry for this

Sincerely - Soby
