FC2.0 SU25T and Vikr's

[159th_Falcon]

1st of all i like to mention ED delivered a great product well worth its money.

 

Though, as whit DCS:BS you can not kill an modern MBT (abrams for example)

whit just a single Vikr. IN DCS:BS you set burst switch to long, fire a pair of em and most of the times that's the end of the MBT

 

Now, as far as i have been able to investigate it is NOT possible to launch more then 1 vikr at a time from the 25T.

 

Anyone knows how to fire a pair of vikr's from the 25T, if its even possible?

 

Would suck if ya had to make several passes just to kill a single MBT

 

As for the rest, nice flying and happy times ahead.:joystick:

[Boberro]

Did u try to set amount of released weapons on weapons panel? There are 4 modes IIRC.

[Cougar]

Press LCtrl V to change the salvo mode You should see both pylons number with box arround it if you have 2 racks of missiles or 1 number in box if you have only one rack in the bottom of the HUD. Then when you fire you will launch 2 missiles on each press or the trigger

 

Hope it helps.

I don't know with FC2, but in FC 1.13 i normally just double tap :D

No more of that :D

 

The implementation of the WAFM to Jets (Read Toad) is Pure Genius!!! Wrt rockets, AoA/Speed/Attitude at Weapons Deployment becomes important and the speed of the Jets further amplify and punish any deviation from the 'ideal'.

But how i'm i to kill zombies then? :music_whistling:

 

Does the ripple also work in FC 1.13?

I've been unable to fire Vikhrs in salvo also; just tried adjusting the salvo switch and even the timer switch -but still doesn't fire more than one.

 

What I get is; fire one, wait 'till it hits, then after a couple of seconds and a repress of the fire weapon, another LA appears and I can fire another, etc.

 

I do keep to the firing parameters, AFAIK.

 

But I can fire Kh-25ML in any salvo I want!

Are you holding the trigger and waiting that missiles gets fired? Or you press the trigger a few seconds and let it go after the first missile leave the rack?

[159th_Falcon]

tried both options, no luck.

I can fire a 2nd vikr before the 1st one hits by turning off the laser.

Though i lose guidance on the 1st vikr if i do that so its not very useful.

As Falcon says; yeah I've tried every different combination I can think of, also.

[159th_Viper]

Cougar is right - Just tested:

 

Lock up target/Ground-stabilize and then hit [LCtrl-V]. Box will appear around both Weapons-Indicators in the HUD. Once LA, hold down trigger to release Vikhr Salvo (As per Shkval in screen - 2 Vikhrs). Will post a track if needed :)

 

[Boberro]

Seems maximum range significantly has been decreased... I had hoped that range would be longer due to Su-25T speed... 600-700 km\h is not 0-100 like in Ka-50.

So Falcon1906 and 159_Archer are you still having problem or it's working now?

[159_Archer]

Just had a 159th squad-flight and the above method is working.

 

Is this as in RL?

 

Thx all!

Yeah, me no happy. And SAM ranges got extended, just bought bunch of Strelas in MP :cry:

[4c Hajduk Veljko]

Yep, Viper, I've just tried and confirmed that your method of firing two Vikhrs works like a charm! Thanks.

[Boberro]

Notice that this Vikhr range displayed on HUD is much lower than it really can go. I can fire up to 11 km :D

 

Also after shoot turn off the laser and fire again. You can fire more missiles per run.

I noticed that since fc2 we can destroy any unit (even the M-1 and the T-80) with a single vikr. I remember in BS we need two missiles for a M-1, so what's the difference between the vikrs from FC2 and BS ?

[Boberro]

Speed - In FC Vikhr can go even 2700-2800 km\h... in BS max. 2200-2300.

[Stalevar]

In BS vikhr can go 2700 and up to 14km. I don't think there's difference in vikhrs, just in launch altitude.

[Boberro]

2700? Fired from hovering Ka-50?

[Xjikz]

thanks for the information

[Stalevar]

2700? Fired from hovering Ka-50?

3-4 km altitude. Fire them from ground level and you will see the difference.
