CHSubZero Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Maybe someone can help me with understanding some of the Fishbeds weapons :smartass: BL755: Anti-Armor 1000 lb cluster bomb Difference between FAB-250 and FAB-250 M54 TU? RN-24: Nuclear bomb (simulation in DCS), weight? RN-28: Nuclear bomb (simulation in DCS), weight? S-24 A: High Explosive S-24 B: Armor-Penetration Kh-66 Grom: (=AS-7), 2-10km, 100kg, Radar-Guided, Air-to-Surface R-13M: (=AA-2C), 1-???km, IR-guided, Short-Range, Air-to-Air R-13M1: slightly better tracking then R-13M R-3R: (=AA-2B), 1-8km, Semi-Active Radar-guided, Short-Range Air-to-Air R-3S: (=AA-2A), 1-7km, IR-guided, Short-Range Air-to-Air R-55: 21kg, IR-Guided, Air-to-Air Difference between R-60 and R-60M: R-60M weights 1kg more, is slightly better and offers limited all-aspect RS-2US: (=AA-1, R-5MS or K-5MS), 13kg, 2-6km, Beam-Riding, Short-Range Air-to-Air Edited January 15, 2016 by CHSubZero My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 added a few informations... but still have some open questions My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_coreSix Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The RN-24 is bigger than the RN-28 and thus should do more damage in theory. S-24A and S-24B have different warhead IIRC. The A is HE and the B should he bunker busting but I'm not sure on that. The R-13M is short range as are all the air-air missiles of the MiG-21, the difference between the two versions is just that the R-13M1 is slightly better in terms of tracking. R-55 is SARH, the RS-2US is a beam rider btw. I should probably also mention that the R-60M is not only slightly better than the R-60, it is actually the only missile of the fishbed with limited all-aspect capabilities. Meaning you don't need to come behind someone to achieve missile lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 thanks for your answers. added them in the first post. I'll start creating a downloadable PDF of all weapons in DCS World ;-) My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarres Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 In summary: RS-2U: old beam rider air to air missile developed for the MiG-19PFM and SU-9 interceptors of the PVO. Used in limited quantities in the 21PFM (RP-21M weapon system), incompatible with the RP-22 weapon system of the bis. Added by the developers for gameplay purposes. R-55: RS-2U fitted with the IR seeker of the R-3S. Used for training only. R-3S: direct copy of the AIM-9B. R-13M: New seeker and cooling system, better suited for dogfight. Better range and flight performance, Maybe a Aim-9D, roughly. R-13M1 last improvement of the R-3/R-13 family. New aerodynamics. better flight performance. Roughly a -9G. R-60: dogfight missile. All for the agility. Very short range, small warhead but very improved flight dynamics. R-60M: Improved seeker and warhead. R-3R: SARH missile, not suited for agile targets. Similar to the ill-fated AIM-9C KH-66: A/G beam rider missile. Like the RS-2U, incompatible with the RP-22 Weapon System. Added by the developers for gameplay purposes. S-24 and 24B: frag (A) and concrete piercing (B) warheads. FAB: M54 series: high drag bombs; M62 series: low drag bombs. About thee TU sufix, I´m not sure, maybe "retarded" or some type of detonator. I hope that this will be useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grunf Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 R-55: 21kg, Semi-Active Radar-Guided, Air-to-Air R-55 is IR guided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 R-55 is IR guided. Ok, changed ;) My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) R-55 is IR guided. Well there is a Radar aswell as an IR guided variant of the R-55. Dont remember wich one is modeled in the game or if both are. I would lean towards the IR variant ingame.

Tarres Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The R-55 is the IR variant of the beam rider RS-2U. It was designed by the Zvezda OKB. There isn't a SARH variant of the R-55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used in limited quantities in the 21PFM (RP-21M weapon system), incompatible with the RP-22 weapon system of the bis. Added by the developers for gameplay purposes. Good to know. I'm all for things like this as they help the sim, but I'd like them to be very clearly labeled. So you know when to avoid them. I thought it was only the Grom that was added.

Art-J Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ch-66 used guidance unit taken from straight from RS-2US, so the same limitations apply. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the R-55 is basicaly the RS-2U with seeker taken from R-3S/R, both IR and SARH variants. But I may be wrong. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
