Snapping to target on Shkval

[Devrim]

Hi everyone... (I don't know if it's worth to open a new thread and discuss, but I'm really curious about that.)

 

You know, in Su-25T, while slewing the Shkval camera, Shkval system can snap to the target on the ground. To me, that's great feature.

 

When I realized that I started to think that "when the Shkval System has been added on Su-25T". Because I wonder, "why BlackShark's Shkval System has not this function" and/or "why they didn't integrate this function into Blackshark's system..."

 

Have you got any idea about this?

Because the shark's Shkval is realistic.

Snap to target ability is unrealistic. More real Shkval is to be found in DCS: Ka-50.

Now I wonder why in A-10C it also snaps to target, aren't all systems on A-10C, Ka-50 and Su-25T TV sensors (not comparing IR image available in A-10C but TV only)

[roob]

It doesn't snap to target in the A-10C :)

[Kuky]

In area mode it doesn't but in point mode it does

[Corrigan]

It does in point mode, yes.

[Boberro]

It does due to limitations of engine.... for game it snaps to object as is.

 

Till we have real image processing it won't change - even in Ka-50 although we can resize target gate and it does matter, really it locks only valid objects, leaving wrecks, trees, clouds, street markings unlockable.

Is there any way to slew the Shkval in SU-25T to the diamond on HUD, something like China Hat Forward Long in A-10C, so to be able to quickly track the designated target area (i guess, designated by laser from ground troops)?

At what range and altitude should the Shkval in Ka-50 start tracking moving targets. We found it does so very close to the target where the ka-50 is vulnerable to enemy fire.....

Depending on the contrast, from 10km to 5.5km.

[Boberro]

It depends of the:

 

• target size what equals in theory Shkval's gate size (the smaller object the closer it'll be needed to lock onto);
  
• time of day (contrast);
  
• artificial obstacles like smoke as example (Shkval should lose lock after tank releases dust);

Oh! Thanks. I didn't consider that. :) I thought it was.. .. I thought wrong obviously. :)
