Creampie Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Not to be confused with the CM802-AKG I remember some time ago, Where an “issue” had been patched with the AK making it not be able to lock onto ground targets. While this is in fact a ASM, It also is a provided supplement of the CM802-AKG. – The TV Aspect. The 802AK is meant to be able to be guided to GPS coordinates as well using its seeker to find a ship & currently does not. If it doesn’t find a target near the entered coordinates, it just shoots passed. I have replicated using the 802AK for specific coordinates before & cannot remember how I achieved it (post patch of the previously mentioned “issue”) Its bad enough the AKG/GB6 have enough issues, Now to just add the AK to this list is a little disappointing No issues with the LS6s, GBUs, SD10s, LD10s they all work as intended. Is this going to also be left in the GB6/AKG bucket & just not fixed? Or am I missing something?
tekwoj Posted September 16, 2024 Posted September 16, 2024 (edited) We have very different experiences, from what I see in the game AK works fine, AKG is currently supersonic and not flying the correct profile, GB6 is fine, LS6 will fly into your wing because for some reason they loft unless you swap stations before launching them. Can you expand which AK launch mode doesn't work and what steps you're taking? Edited September 16, 2024 by tekwoj

Its using it the same as a an AKG, Without the TV guidance. Just using coordinates, Sea or air. It should be able to be used as such as they are a AKG supplement. No guidance, No ship no IR seeker, just aiming it at coordinates, they should land perfectly with them & not go passed them like they do. None of the modes work to achieve this as they should. GB6 Only sometimes has issues, LS6 I've never had an issue with. Just AK & AKG. Both should be able to be used as the just cruise missiles, for any target.
tekwoj Posted September 16, 2024 Posted September 16, 2024 I wasn't aware AK has a mode where it doesn't activate the radar. Is it documented anywhere?

Dr_Pavelheer Posted September 17, 2024 Posted September 17, 2024 Most anti-ship cruise missiles seem to have secondary ground attack role, I don't expect AK to be any different in that regard. Question is how useful it can it really be without any supplement to INS? Because if I understand it correctly AK doesn't have GPS, it doesn't really need it for anti-ship role. Ancient Kitchens/Kh-22 are being used like that in Ukraine, it's just that without any terminal guidance you can expect them to hit more or less correct postal code, not particular vehicle in the middle of a field like we expect stuff to work in DCS
