Karon Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hey folks, I put together a study of the current implementation of the AIM-54A Mk60 and AIM-54C Mk47. It took me a while, but I finally completed most of the tests, for a total of 3360 AIM-54 fired. I plan to do some more tests later on to offer a better representation of the PK model, at the moment relied to a series of histograms. I am aware of the fact that the current implementation is not realistic due to a number of reasons and I have mentioned such issues in my articles multiple times: from the amount energy wasted by the Phoenix in different moments, to the fact that it goes pitbull automatically. I look forward to seeing Heatblur finally getting access to the code and implementing a more realistic representation of the missile as soon as possible. Imo, what we have is a good compromise but of course we would all want the best and more realistic representation possible. Nevertheless, this is how the current AIM-54 works in a number of different scenarios. I organized the tests to cover specific situations rather than being homogeneous. The first article introduces the modus operanti and each criterium I followed. Introduction Low Altitude The Altitude Factor Medium and Long Range I'm tempted to leave a TL;DR version here but there are simply too many things to consider and talk about. You may find some errors here and there, unfortunately the spare time is never enough so I tend to rush. Feel free to point them out! Lastly, a big thanks to HB for creating what is, imo, the best experience DCS can offer :) "Cogito, ergo RIO" Virtual Backseaters Volume I: F-14 Radar Intercept Officer - Fifth Public Draft Virtual Backseaters Volume II: F-4E Weapon Systems Officer - Internal Draft WIP Phantom Phamiliarisation Video Series | F-4E/F-14 Kneeboard Pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenovia Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Awesome read, really enjoyed it, gave me a good insight on the difference between the 54C Mk.47 and 54A Mk.60. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattag08 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 As usual, the limits of ED's missile code shows. Hopefully HB will be able to clean up ED's mistakes at some point.
