ACME_WIdgets Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 want to see something to make you sad, when testing the AMRAAM maximum range at high alt, Grim Reapers had to use the F-16 because it could track the target further than the F-15 And the ENTIRE point of making the F-15 was to put a big, really big, large diameter radar in the plane - for long range tracking/sensing. and it hauls arse really good. 4 5600x, EVGA 3070 FTW, B550 Tomahawk, M.2 Samsung, 32GB CL16, AIO 240mm VKB Gladiator Pro, Freetracker IR 3d printed, TM MkII HOTAS circa 1985 w/USB Asus 27" 2560x1440 60fps (so constrain DCS to 60fps) F-16, F-18 2021 = First year on DCS: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonFox Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 It would be nice to see the F-15C get an update including putting it, timeline wise, more on par with the Hornet and Falcon. ie, Give it the JHMCS and AIM-9X along with Datalink even it remains an FC3 bird.

Just make it full fidelity at that point. I'd love to see it become a full fidelity module. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henshao Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I'd settle for just the datalink and radar up to detection spec, 2001 the national guard birds all received link-16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-15 was designed to intercept foxbat (and has done so) who cruises well above such altitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 That's just a display limit, the digits go up to 60 ... the beam goes on forever. Easy to test and check (and yes I've ran intercepts on HFFs, so I know it works ) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henshao Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 another thing I've long been curious about: should interleave reduce detection ranges by 25%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGTharos Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 No, the reduction is really due to timing - meaning your bandit may be sitting at long range when the MPRF bar passes over it, and you need to wait for the MPRF/HPRF interleave pattern to flip. Also, when the probability of detection is still low, you may delay detection even further. 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henshao Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 this is what I always thought; downside of interleave 4 bar scan should not be reduced detection range but rather the slow update speed of an 8 bar scan. 8 bar interleave, effectively 16 bars, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGTharos Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 There is an RGH mode which is best used above 6000' and IIRC it is used to break-out close targets - this is not implemented in DCS, and it is an intermediate PRF. In DCS, ILV is just a reduction in range and that's all. MPRF is more resistant to notching and clutter generally as it should be.
