Force Correlate.

Toad here.

Ok. I finally decided to tackle this. It is my understanding that H's will work with this.

But first, the reason I am even bothering. I am sure I saw a fellow A10 pilot launching these guys for a good ten or twelve miles out. On our favorite mission lately we constantly get borked by those nasty SA15s. I am hoping force correlation will allow me to fire from a safe distance.

I checked the manual, printed out the Mav Force Correlation page and gave it a try. Looks like it was going to work but the launch window bar was showing even less distance that the Mav D. I did hold down the fire button before the window but it wasn't firing.

Is this possible or not?

AGM-65D & H model only have around an 8 NM maximum range, try using a G or K model (10 Nm range).

What altitude were you deploying the H's from ?

 

I normally release a H from around 10nm and from altitude, seems to do the job

 

for the SA-15s just stay above 20000ft :)

Use a D Mav on a Tor: You will always outrange a SA-15 so I would not even bother with Forced Correlate.

Reading the encyclopedia it shows the H has the same standoff range as the G. But it looks like the G would be my preferred weapon of choice. Unfortunately, our present loadout selection doesn't seem to support carrying more than two of these at a time. And, of course the D can't be used in force correlation, which is what this exercise is all about.
