MoGas Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 DCS World, AIM 120C good PK is 6 miles on average Pilot, both low! I just hope ED dosent touch the F14 Tomcat missiles, otherwise the Phoenix is good around 15 miles.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinusoidDelta Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 i've hit people from 35nm. Sometimes you can catch them sleeping. That's a hell of a shot. What speed and alt did you launch at? Was the bandit a ground pounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchesterdelta1 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hit a two ship yesterday from 33 miles as well. Fired from 45000ft mach 1.6. They did maneuver. But not enough. They where flying at 25.000ft. Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Swan Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 i've hit people from 35nm. Sometimes you can catch them sleeping. Wow I've never hit a player that far away, AI yes but not a player. When it comes to non-maneuvering targets, 40nm shots are possible as well. You just have to be going fast and if the enemy dives at all the missile is done.

They where flying at 25.000ft. I'd like to see the track of that. Pretty sure 2 s turns would be enough to kill your missiles at that range, let alone any defensive jink at the end of flight.

pr1malr8ge Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'd like to see the track of that. Pretty sure 2 s turns would be enough to kill your missiles at that range, let alone any defensive jink at the end of flight. It's not impossible. I've shot down several fighters at those ranges. This is likely due to the fact they were climbing, heavy, and had no speed for maneuvering. This is the exact reason I NEVER climb while traveling towards the A/O slow & or heavy... For the WIN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]If your desired effect on the target is making the pilot defecate his pants laughing then you can definitely achieve it with a launch like that.

winchesterdelta1 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) I'd like to see the track of that. Pretty sure 2 s turns would be enough to kill your missiles at that range, let alone any defensive jink at the end of flight. That is impossible. My windows got corrupted yesterday and i had to re-install.... freaking everything :( So i won't be online for a while as well. Also they did maneuver... But not to much. They did not do any hard turns or something. But mostly even when they do that it will miss. Not that time. Edit: They where indeed climbing and in a very low energy state. I think they where still pretty heavy with fuel tanks. Edited April 12, 2017 by winchesterdelta1 Go in close, and when you think you are too close, go in closer.

IASGATG Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I mean the 120C in game will make a 60+nmi head to head kill shot when fired high alt high speed vs high alt high speed "manoeuvring but not much" targets. I just can't believe there are pilots worse than AI's when it comes to missile defense. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't believe there are pilots worse than AI's when it comes to missile defense. :( I wouldn't say they are worse then AI, I just caught them with their pants down and unable to do anything about it.. Like I said those long distance shots were against targets that were probably stupid heavy and in max rate climb in thin air. I.e. =/<300 kts. Doesn't help their cause either when I'm launching at ~50k M2+ For the WIN [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]If your desired effect on the target is making the pilot defecate his pants laughing then you can definitely achieve it with a launch like that.

Since it's PN it'll just keep pulling 20g back and forth as you wiggle. Bleh, my expectations must be too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
