    You see you don’t have to worry unless you see 2 lines coming from 1 c-ram then you know it’s either lost said target , or there are multiple, or there are soo many incoming projectiles/ missiles that it has been overwhelmed and is going for the closest

      typically a CIWS can trip up if multiple targets are in quick succession and very close to eachother in distance. this typically happened on older AEGIS systems were it was trying to decide which target to hit and went into reboot mode since it couldn't. effectively not firing, which is the scariest part about CIWS because either it works or it doesn't you don't have a second chance

  • @derthrongler
    @derthrongler Рік тому +57

    to fix the confusion about the "every 5th round is a tracer" thing, here is me myth busting
    the phalanx has 2 types: the naval CIWS phalanx uses a Vulcan cannon with Tungsten armor piercing, The land C-RAM phalanx uses a different vulcan cannon that uses HEIT-DS (high explosive incindieary tracer self destruct) ammunition.
    Now to bust the myth. In all clips of the video; every round is a tracer. Not every fifth round, every round.
    The land CRAM phalanx has every round as a HEIT-SD tracer, and that ammunition was used in every clip of this video (except for the first clip where it appears its just a HEIT shell with no self destruct, meaning it was a test fire and not actually firing at stuff).
    The land CRAM, because it uses HEIT-SD, Every round is a tracer.
    HOWEVER the myth is partially true.
    This is because on the naval CIWS system it uses Tungsten armor piercing rounds (see how it doesnt say tracer in there), and because its tungsten AP, it doesnt leave a tracer line behind it. So on the naval ciws phalanx, they added a tracer to every 5th round.
    If you look at clips of the CIWS (naval) Phalanx, indeed every 5th round is a tracer.
    If you look at clips (like this) of the CRAM (land) Phalanx, EVERY round is a tracer.
    This is because The CIWS Naval phalanx main objective is to shoot air-ship missiles, aircraft and ship-ship missiles where armour piercing is favoured, while the CRAM Land phalanx main objective is to shoot mortars, rockets and artillery fire, not planes and missiles
    TL:DR every round is a tracer, not every 5th round

    • @themanformerlyknownascomme777
      @themanformerlyknownascomme777 Рік тому

      I thought the 'every 5th round a tracer' only applied to small arms (like the M2 and M249) and the Phalanx is decidedly NOT small arms.
