PMcG Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 Can someone explain what detection method the Mig 19 is using to pick me up at low altitude. This is a simple mission with 1 mig 19 and 1 F15E. It doesn't have anything else. The Mig 19 is flying at +20000 ft, I'm at less than 1000ft. Could it be map objects passing the info to the Mig 19? I've attached a trk file. Mig19AtNightVsF15E.trk 2
MAXsenna Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 The AI is cheating. They always know where you are, regardless of sensors etc.
Solution MBot Posted July 16, 2023 Solution Posted July 16, 2023 In terms of DCS mechanics, what is actually happening here is that the AI MiG-19 detects your radar emissions on RWR. I quickly tested it and an AI MiG-19 will detect and engage a F-15E at a distance of 210 km. Considering the quality of the MiG's radar warning receiver this is obviously completely ludicrous. When the F-15E is not emitting on radar it is actually possible to test the AI MiG-19's own radar performance. It will then detect and engage the Strike Eagle at 50 km distance in either look-up or look-down situation. This is still waaay over the top. According to the RAZBAM manual it has a maximum search range of 12 km. Also it should not be look-down capable at all. 2
