EOS 1.2.7

[karambiatos]

yeah in 1.2.7 you achieve LA at a very good distance when against a head on target, in 1.2.8 Head on, LA is always achieved at 3 km, not matter if the target is after burning or not.

Ok I will check this in the internal build and put it up as a bug if it's still there. According to my doc range for non-ab fighter head-on (like his nose pointed right at you) seeker limit is about 2.5km, for AB target same situation, about 9km. And this is for a somewhat older all-aspect missile.

Interesting! I tested chaparal, strela-1/10 and they all shoot in 3km. Аpparently all IR missiles launched at the same distance. All of one mother born... :doh:

There has been a change in how seekers treat countermeasures and I suspect this change brought a particular unintended consequence with it.

Then we're not talking about the same thing. OK.

Then we're not talking about the same thing. OK.

But you responded to this and is what the whole recent discussion has been based on.

 

I do not know if someone already posted, I don't know if the bug or the new logic of ED's? Authorization for R-27T/ET and R-73 is about 3km in conditions without afterburn and front hemisphere, with afterburn about 10-12km. EOS detects target in front hemisphere about 14-15km afterburn and non-afterburn! What happens now? Why so much change?

 

1.2.8

Because this is more realistic behavior according to the manuals for those sensors.

Progress :)

[GGTharos]

Yeah, I don't know why I was stuck in 1.2.7 for this, I forgot that someone posted the huge 1.2.8
