ACM BORE range

[itn]

Hi,

Thanks ED for the recent fixes to ACM BORE / HMCS functionality.

Based on some rather widely available docs, in MLU M3 the ACM BORE range was increased. Range scale was made selectable all the way up to 40 nm. It also depicts how after acquiring the target in ACM BORE and switching to STT, the automatic range scaling works for 20 and 40 nm ranges.

So basically, it tells us in clear terms that in ACM BORE you can search for and lock targets up to 40 nm, practically all the way up to radar max range against fighter-sized targets. This in ACM BORE only, not in other ACM sub-modes.

Again it's different variants, different radars etc. but I wonder if our variant should have that same, increased ACM BORE range which was increased in MLU M3?

good catch! hope this gets adjusted.

What is max today?

To my knowledge, all ACM modes are currently restricted to 10 nm. And I suppose for all except BORE submode it is correct as is.

yep in a certain manual from 1997 it says 10nm for all acm modes. but the m3 from 7 years later contains a specific topic adressing this with increased range to 40nm for the BORE setting

That would be absolutely insane if it were to be implemented.

Why is this a wishlist item? It is currently not working as it should, this is a bug/problem.

Adjustable bore range would be a new feature rather than an existing feature that is bugged (bug being an error in coding). Right now it is not in the current work schedule so will remain as a wishlist item until we can look at it. Thanks.

Is there information or a update for this being added? It doesn’t seem to be a Wishlist thing to be honest, if it’s how the radar is meant to work with the information being a available it seems like a fairly important feature to not implement.
