Magic 1 missile performance

[Lascar12F]

Hi,

It seems the magic 1 performance needs to be re-evaluated, as the missile's aspect limitations seems much too restrictive compared to it's real life performance.

Seemingly it's a single value that has been put in a bit pessimistically.

See @IvanK and @DSplayer

bumping this as there has been no answers, has this ticket been taken into account ?

the magic 1's max trackable angle is 63 degrees off tail in the game, but real life accounts that @IvanK has provided talk about "lock  at 90 degrees Angle Off on a Mil powered target 700deg C JPT at 2nm at medium altitude".

 

63 degrees off tail is wildly under estimated, even when compared to contemporary missiles that historically performed much worse.

These values need to be changed please.

including @fausete  for more info.

I guess more data is needed to receive proper attention. Yes, it is like work.

Low data posts are like: 'Here, I feel like this. Go figure how to test for an issue that's affecting how I feel".

Some numbers to be cross checked can be helpful as well as unclassified documents.

I have provided numbers from a discussion with an ED tester.

I assumed they would handle getting that info from @IvanK internally

 

Also I was asking for ED to take a good look at the missile in general because it's implementation is very half assed. I don't think this is a document issue, even the 3d model is wrong on my layers, basically a copied magic2, so the aim here is for ED to follow their usual process on a forgotten missile. just trying to bring it to their attention

I just need some feedback on this from ED, if there needs more info just tell me that

Refer to this thread for some more Magic 1 perf info (anecdotal by SME).

 

Also note the Magic 1 has a wrong model - the notches in the rear fins are Magic 2 only features. The model used to be correct in the regard a couple of patches ago.
