[WIP] CM-802AKG altitude

[Clang]

CM-802AK always fly at 50m and sometimes 100m. It used to fly around 10m some months ago, but now the missiles are always intercepted by ennemy ships because they fly so high.

 

Sometimes a missile just disapear for no reason.

When I tested last year (2020-05-02) vs a single Neutrashimyy missile cruiser, the CM-802AK flew @ 168ft (50m) and ~Mach 1, IIRC approx. 1 in 4 got through it's CIWS, etc. defences when fired en masse.

 

No Harpoons got though in the same test (as they descended from 5,000 ft @ 5 NM / Mach 0.7 and were shot down).

You can see in this video that the missile used to fly around 14m (@11:48) :

 

When they achieved lock onto the target they used to descend even lower in sea skim mode (pop up in the video), a little below 10m, avoiding any radar lock by the enemy ship.

I'm gonna hijack this thread a bit to also mention that the Impact Angle (not Impact Azimuth) appears to be nonfunctional on the LS-6. They always seem to impact with a 10° dive.

 

Likewise, the GB-6 HE does not have an Impact Angle setting, and retains the OPEN HT setting from the Cluster and SFW variants.

Also missiles run into trees, ground, wires etc. Missile radar must keep the missile as low as possible and avoid all objects. Also when missiles are shot from high altitude, then they diving down too slow and remain too high for too long time. Also when I try to take control over the missile before it reach it destination i can do so by switching missile camera on. But when I decide to put the missile on auto (switch missile camera off), connection with missile is lost or missile is destroyed, disappeared i don't know..... Both jf17 cruise missiles have similar flying problems. Plane AUTO pilot not working after 1m or so!!!!!!!!!!! Can't look after criuse missiles because plane rolling to side and then  heading  to ground!!!!!!

is this fixed yet? looks like AK still fly very high for sea skimming

Calm down a bit!

 

If you turn the camera on and off on the AKG, you will autodestroy it!!! Don't do thaaaaat!!

The auto pilot issue is under investigation and I'm sure it will be fixed pretty soon.

@uboatsfrom the first post text, seems that the title is erroneous and it's only referring to the CM-802AK skimming altitude. I can confirm that is bugged in latest OB update flying at not less than 65ft.

802AK must be sea-skimming, now is unusable, Flying 50m high in cruise till 20NM and then flying 20m high in "sea-skiming". Enemy ships saw them like 50NM away and its imposible make one hit being interdictec extremly easy by SAM's and CIWS, seems to have double RCS than a Harpoon.
