KABASAKAL Posted June 2, 2024 Posted June 2, 2024 Hawk 1-1 and 181st_Theuce attacked Leander class frigates at +00:46:00 and the ships Seacat missiles were fired to both GBU-8 HOBOS bombs and the aircrafts with very high tracking accuracy, shooting down GBU-8's with one shot and at 51.40 one of the ships fired two Seacat and guided to both GBU-8 and aircraft also there were 3 ships and their launcher can carry only 4 seacats per ship but they fired 20 missiles within very short time period. So there is 3 problems, the first one is Seacat's are very accurate, they can even shoot down a GBU-8 bomb, second one is one ship is guiding 2 Seacat missiles at the same time, one to the aircraft and the other one to the GBU-8 bomb at 51.40, the third one is unrealistic reload time, firing 20 missiles without any delay.

Northstar98 Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 Theoretically Sea Cat can intercept guided munitions, particularly GWS 22 which has radar guided ACLOS. Guiding 2 Sea Cats simultaneously however should be impossible as the director can only track one missile at a time. The reloading time was brought up here. Right now missiles are reloaded every 10 seconds and a missile begins reloading every time one is fired. IRL common practice would be to only reload once the launcher was empty or the engagement completed, with it taking ~10 minutes to reload the entire launcher.

Mr_sukebe Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 I vaguely seem to remember that the Seacat was a bit "pap" during the Falklands war. That might be only anecdotal, based upon a few things that I've read. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat
