BBQ Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I've been playing one of the CA missions and have reached a point where all of my Vikhrs go dumb -- and am searching for enemy jamming equipment, as I've ensured I have fullfilled all of the firing parameters for my Vikhrs launches. Is there a list of vehicles/assets with jamming capabilities somewhere? (aside from encyclopedia)?

Post a .trk and surely we will discover what is going on. :o)
Zabuzard Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I think you know it but to play safe: You need to light up the enemy with the laser the whole flight time of your Vikhrs they're flying exactly where your laser is pointing at.

Is there a list of vehicles/assets with jamming capabilities somewhere? (aside from encyclopedia)? I saw a thread about a similar problem not long ago—it was a very windy Ka-50 mission, and the pilot was having his missiles go dumb because the wind pushed them out of the guidance matrix before the missiles could pick it up.

ricktoberfest Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Jamming/EW That's happened many times to me in the Ka-50. You have to switch to manual control and aim a bit into the wind Edited January 15, 2014 by ricktoberfest

RglsPhoto Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Vikhr is a laser beam guided missile.I think it is difficult to jam such missile since the sensors are mounted in the tail I7-6700K OC 4.9G, 896G SSD, 32G RAM @ 2400MHz, NH-D15 cooling system,TM Hotas Warthog,Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals,TrackIr 5, BOSE M2
Nage Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Ka-50 and Su-25 has laser that heats up and shuts down automatically. In Ka-50 happened to me when i forget to turn off laser while scanning the area and not attacking. The vikhr missile it self kind of tracks the beam for a while then on half way it goes bezerk and lands in field nowhere near target. So it is good to have it turned off when you don`t need it. In Su-25 only vikhrs turns on laser automatically every other type must be also switched ON manually but if the laser goes offline you will get a flashing message on HUD. Talking as i remember this, so, i hope i helped if not, please, someone correct me.
Jimbolya Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 yes - the SU-25T auto enables the laser on launch and then you get a cool down timer...which by the end of the cool down you might have time for one more quick launch... Vikhrs on SU-25T are pretty cool.
