Noctrach Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Hey, the AKAN sight is consistently resulting in rounds flying over target on NTTR (standard conditions). This is with master mode ANF, targeting mode ATTACK w/ NORM/SERIES, radar ranging used, trigger down when "wings" appear. Rounds will overshoot with every dive angle or QFE setting. Doing the same on Caucasus results in correct placement. Edited April 18, 2021 by Noctrach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, just tested this and rounds are falling consistently short on Caucasus. Can someone confirm? I don't have NTTR installed, so can't test there.

Snappy Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I have the same experience as Quigon, rounds have a tendency too fall short by some margin .On both Caucasus and NTTR. In my personal opinion, the gunsight and firing cue could use a rework. The firing cue seems to come too early which is why the rounds fall short . Yes there is the mention of a short delay between cue and trigger pull in system design, but I think that is only to account for human reaction time. Presently you have to wait until shoot cue, then hold back for another one and half second or so( which is hard to estimate ,making accurate gun runs difficult) and then pull trigger to get the rounds on intended target . That is making the system error-prone, which doesn’t make sense. It seems more logical to get the firing cue when you really have to pull the trigger right away, because that is a clearly defined point in time, not a guess the pilot has to make sometime after appearance of the cue. regards, Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTeo Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Yep, you can get rounds on target if you pull the trigger a bit after the wings appear on the gunsight, but that's obviously incorrect procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctrach Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Gun still consistently undershoots on Caucasus and NTTR. What's interesting is that it hits pretty accurately on higher elevations (QFE 850 or less), but gets worse the closer you get to sea level QFE. Seems there's something off in ballistic calculations for the gunsight.

Wizard1393 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Any official word on this? Just started flying the Viggen again and AKAN bullets is falling consistently short if you fire right when wings appear, Mode ANF, Radar ranging used. Tested mostly on Syria map.

Snappy Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 @IronMike, could this also be please be looked at with some priority. Cobra already wanted to highlight this, but there is still no fix to this old and annoying bug. Kind regards, Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been around for at least 2 years and pretty much renders an entire weapon system almost completely unusable for 2 years now!

Madpie Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 It was a massive viggen changelog but I couldn't see a fix in there... I guess I'll keep spraying to see where the bullets go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machalot Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 They said this one is proving hard to solve but they're still working on it. "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
