HR-Crumble Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 Hi all, Scenario - 2 ship of either hornets or vipers (makes zero difference) set to travel to waypoint X where the ROE changes to designated only and the attack group action is given. Target is either an SA-6 or SA-11 or SA-10. AI won’t fire on an inactive SAM site as we know so they are set to red state. ISSUE - AI will not fire unless target is exactly 47nm or less away. 48nm? No. 47nm? Yes. I chose three different Sam sites to test individually to see if it was something to do with detection signal of the larger Sam’s etc but that makes no difference. Despite target type, AI altitude, speed, heading and if the Sam site is in a valley or open ground the AI will not launch greater than 47nm. 47nm is fine for SA-6 and SA-11 but not the SA-10 as it has an approx 70nm launch range. Is 47NM the max AI launch range?
rob10 Posted February 22, 2024 Posted February 22, 2024 What altitude is the aircraft at? Reported range for the HARM (in DCS) at 30K and 400 kts is only about 50 nm so that's a reasonable launch range. You could get 70 nm but only if you're full speed and at 40K.
