Kh-58 seems to have unlimited seeker FOV?

[blahdy]

See video here:

 

Kh-58 misses the target radar, then does a circular loop-around to go at it again and then gets intercepted by FIM-92 Stinger. lol.

 

 

Do ARM passive seekers have unlimited FOV in the sim? If it misses past the target, it should just dive to ground, no? (even if INS kicks in again though I doubt it, and the missile somehow manages to loop like that, Patriot radar isn't radiating directly above)

Known and Reported issue.

AFAIK when it loses its guidance (radar was shut down) it went straight up. Then the radar starts emmiting again, so it was guided to it once more. Then the Stinger strikes it.

 

...but I dont know if it is posible in R/L

Are you sure that's a Kh-58? The flight profile seems strange. It should climb at first and, then, arch down onto the target. This one seems to fly on a flat trajectory straight for the target.

 

 

And, no, there should not be that wide a field of view.

Thanks 159th_Viper.

 

Iron Hand: Yup... The loft trajectory is a logarithmic function of distance to the target, so that explains the near-flat trajectory. I fired that Kh-58 at pretty close distance (I can't remember exactly, but probably like less than 30km? give or take) and at low altitude.

 

If you watch in full screen, you can see that it's Kh-58 / AS-11 KILTER by the red label.
