Guest ThomasDWeiss Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 I posted a thread at the Lomacfiles forum about it. Maverick IR Air to Air kill
SUBS17 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I've taken out a 25TM with a maverick when it was airbourne, handy when you've run out of sidewinders. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
Cobra360 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Hardly realistic is it? The Maverick can only track targets moving at 60-80mph. It can be also be used against slow moving helos but hitting a Su-25 with one. Thats good, my sidewinders have trouble and they a dedicated dogfight missiles. lol At least flares are useless against the Maverick's guidance systems.

Not unrealistic if the crossing speed is low ... ie if its directly coming towards you or receding, then in the FoV it's 'slow'. If it's moving very quickly across (beam) and the mav hits it then its wrong.

Guest ThomasDWeiss Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I posted a track file at Lomacfiles - where I take out a pair of Ka-52 with IR Mavericks, take a look and see if it is realistic http://www.lomacfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=90&lid=330&title=A-10%20Attack%20Pack%201%20mission%20track#dldetails
Cobra360 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Helos are fine. I think the Israeli's got a couple of flying helo kills with Mavericks in the 1980s. It's just the tracking rate in the Maverick cannot cope unlees the target is directly receding or coming straight at you.
SUBS17 Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 The SU25TM kills were just after take-off flying away from me. [sIGPIC] [/sIGPIC]
