Hi all,

 

Recorded a track the otherday of a simple 1v1 BVR - WVR engagement to review performance. My goal was to merge to WVR with a SARH armed opponent, so I set up a MiG-23 with a basic loadout and had my SU-27 on the ground 30km away.

 

As luck would have it, on my first recorded attempt I won, and landed. Playback however - and I had to laugh at this - had a different result. He toasted me with an R-60 shot in the merge. The R-73 (which swatted him in 'reality') that I fired wasn't even recorded leaving the rail.

 

I didn't tally the R-60 shot first time out - but logically I must have very closely evaded it. Can proximity fusing give different results in playback?

Had you used the helmet mounted sight? Dont use tracks much myself, but I think I recall reading (way back when) that tracks can replay differently when HMS is used, padlock as well I think.

Could be that in the original you locked him with the HMS, R-73'd him before he could fire an R-60. In the replay, the HMS lock failed, so you never got him. Leaving him alive to R-60 you.

Playbacks are funny, I also had different results when watching a recorded track and now that BRD mentioned HMS It makes me think about it!

That happens whit the Training tracks? right? , they are describing something entirely different in the text like, suddenly you get downed by a plane that was suposed to be killed 1 min before.
