[Duplicated] AGM-45A Shrike no tone

[Kikao]

Hi,

I have been testing the shrike with some friends, with multiple seekers for the different SAMs sites and we can confirm that the missile hunt the antenna but there's no tone in cockpit.

Direct delivery mode, ARM knob setted, master arm up, 10 deegres up the SAM site but no tone. We launch the missile and it goes to the antenna and it hits, but as I said before, no tone. Seeker volume is completely up. In DCS audio settings all volumes are up.

 

EDIT: just found this 

 

Thanks.

Yes as you found in that thread, its broken at the moment... lets hope the  update is out soon and this is resolved. Perhaps update the title of this with [Duplicate]

Yes it is but it's quite confussing which seekers works with which SAM. We may need a check list with which ones works. I followed the table in the manual but seems like is not updated.

When I initially made the table in the manual, I made it to show all targets that the Shrikes actually target regardless of them providing tone or not since the Shrike was a pretty new weapon at the time and still had some quirks in its implementation. Perhaps I'll update the table sometime in the future to distinguish which radars actually produce tone and are targetable.

Greetings, I take it there is no fix yet? because the problem is still there, no homing head gives no sound when it sees HQ7, and some do not give sound when they see TOR

The updated manual online details which seekers provide tone and track against a target. There still is an inconsistency between what provides tones and tracks against certain radars and I believe this is something that both ED and HB need to come to a consensus on in order to fix as HB handles what provides tone and ED handles what allows the Shrike to track (in most cases).

In the case of the HQ-7, I'll have to update the manual table again due to the recent changes. But I think you can get tone and track against it with the Mk23 and Mk50 seekers but I haven't verified in-game if that's the case.
