Radar gunsight in ANT does not calculate sufficient lead.


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Attached are several short tracks with a practice F-14 target set up to fly steady horizontal 2.5G circles and me aiming for the radar target dot with the gunsight in ANT mode and the target locked on in radar and within effective gun range.

Still the rounds pass behind the target.

2.5 G is not much of a turn.If you want to score hits you have to aim further in front of the radar dot.   The problem doesn't get better with even higher G turns of the target. 


If you would aim for target center mass (like you see on guncam photos, with the pipper squarely on target center mass) the rounds also would pass behind the target.

Mission file is attached, in case its needed to play back tracks.

Kind regards,

Snappy

I find that tracers are better. Lead calculating sight tends only to work when the target is not maneuvering. 

Yea, well, sorry but that is no solution. If the target is not maneuvering , you don't need a lead computing sight all.  The very purpose of it is to provide a lead calculation for you. It's literally in the name.

It cannot compensate for erratic , constantly jinking targets no, but in this case the target is flying a steady horizontal and very predictable turn at a constant low G. Ideal conditions for a lead computing sight.

Hmm... Is this maybe a bigger DCS World issue? Several modules calculate insufficient lead when using a radar gunsight. With bullets falling behind target even in a gentle turn.

More like lack of attention from developers. There are also several modules that got it right, including WWII warbirds.
