LastRifleRound Posted May 2, 2009 Author Posted May 2, 2009 Yes I would definitely like to know how you came up with that, that is just what I'm looking for!
Frederf Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I pulled it out of my rear end. It was just an example of what inputs you would enter into the calculation and what form the solution would take. However I would make the correction that the INS stabilized HUD symbology would be preferable for reference over the back up sight. Being a pilot is tough, 900 hours training, 9 hours flight prep, 90 minute transit, 90 seconds combat.
RvETito Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 Ka-50's targeting system doesn't provide CCIP/CCRP or any other data for aimed bombing. The circle that you see on the HUD is nothing but a fixed sight. So bombing is made exactly like in WWI style- pilot's feel. I'm using the following procedure: - level flight (or slight dive) at 200-300m AGL; - max speed; - I put the circle on the target and steer my helicopter to have the target in the middle of the HUD; - at the moment the target (visualy) goes (disapears) under my nose (bottom HUD) - bombs away! Seems to give satisfactory results. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE=
159th_Viper Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 I seem to recall that with the A-10 one day in LockOn I literally got my A$$ blown away deploying Clusters from a low altitude :poster_oops: Is that modelled in any way in DCS? I have to date never had the urge to deploy them from the Kamov.....more of a 'Snipe-and-Run' kinda pilot. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?
