    There is also always the very cool feature of defeating a missile by counter firing your own IR missile. A very cool moment when you pull it off.

      Although it can work it is not a very good way to evade missiles and a bad tactic to rely on. I did the same when I started out to give myself a slightly better chance of survival, but it’s a huge waste of a missile that could make all the difference in completing the mission later on

    Another thing you can do for short range IR missiles is reduce throttle to 0 and shut them off if needed while popping as many flares as possible. This is a last resort though. Just reduce throttle to reduce your heat signature and pop flares so its more likely to go towards the flares.

      when i used to play war thunder during the arly days of IR missiles i would shut off my engine mid flight and pop flares and the missile would instantly lose lock and because of this the hostile would turn away thinking they already killed me. the funny thing is too that if you keep your throttle up after turning your engine on it takes 2 seconds for the engines to turn back on and burn hot

      I don't know if it's modelled correctly in VTOL VR, but popping as many flares as possible would just create a trail behind you and lead the missile to you. Is that correct or does it not work like that here? I'm quite new.

    2:48 Small note, the DLZ does not show boost vs glide phases, rather it shows the "rMax" and "rOpt", that is, the maximum possible range the missile can reach, and the "optimal" or the "no escape range" or the "minimum abort range", which basically means even if the target maneuvers the missile will still reach.
    Also at 5:18, the radar cone is 60 degrees off either side, not 30

    2:40, You are wrong.
    That part of the hud is called Dynamic Launch Zone, DLZ for short.
    it is not used to show what your booster stage/glide stage is, instead it is used to indicate 2 things.
    The top part of the DLZ is called Rpi, short for "Range probability of intercept", it shows the maximum range in which the missile could hit its target assuming the target would remain perfectly stationary.
    the bottom part of the DLZ is called Rtr, short for "Range turn and run", it shows the maximum range in which the missile could hit its target assuming the target were to turn away from you and go full afterburner, also known as "No escape zone".
    The reason that the DLZ becomes smaller or larger depends on closure rate and altitude.
    The AGM-88 HARM anti radiation missile also uses DLZ symbology, but in this case there is only the Rpi shown. because radar sources tend to be stationary anyway so there is no need for the Rtr. Eventhough the HARM also has a booster and glide stage.
    Also, what you are describing as Beaming is actually called Cranking, Beaming (More or less the same as notching) means to put the bandit at your 3 or 9 O'clock in an attempt to hide from its radar.

    I believe missiles self-destruct not because the tech might be stolen, but because of some international laws regarding the use of explosives in or near civilian areas. IIRC this is also why cannon shells from aircraft guns also explode after some distance.

    Hey mate, great work on your tuts! they've been so helpful in game!!!
    I used to be a RADAR tech in the military for some time and was a fire-control specialist so can I just point out that your RADAR theory is off slightly; Doppler RADAR has a soul purpose of measuring velocity, it is directionless as it just measures the difference between pulse frequencies. Aircraft and Weapon systems use an active transmit-receive system, which as you pointed out, emits a pulse and receives a pulse but it is the time taken to hit a subject and return gives the fire control system the target range and the angle of the seeker head at which the pulse was transmitted will determine the bearing; usually a fire-control system will calculate the speed based on a previous position. Doppler systems are used on things like artillery to measure the speed of a projectile to help calculate fall points, they don't have a real use case for aircraft. There theory behind using terrain is somewhat like masking... IRL you need to be flying really close the the terrain, when the seeker head transmits a pulse the return pulse from the terrain should be larger than the echo from your aircraft and so the FCS cannot distinguish between the terrain and you.
    The missile systems I used to work on didn't have a self destruct, there were older SM2 and Harpoons... if you release the lock on an SM2 it just kills the motor and falls out of the sky... no earth shattering KABOOM... and the Harpoon, well that just hunted until it ran out of fuel or it detonated.
    Sorry, for the blurb, just thought you might be interested in what really goes on ;-)
    Keep up the great work.

    • @Eihort
      @Eihort Рік тому +3

      As another Radar tech, he's right.... and wrong. What's being modeled here, and is actually in use in aircraft, is PULSE Doppler. It is absolutely used in detecting aircraft, from other aircraft. However, your description is still slightly off.
      The "Ground Return" will have an amount of doppler on it that is the airspeed of the originating aircraft. If you're going 300 kts, the ground return will have 300kts of closure doppler on it, aka a "higher frequency", not the same as your transmission pulse. An aircraft in front of you, also traveling 300kts, will effectively be motionless, and have ZERO doppler on it, and therefore be the SAME frequency as your original pulse. There are filters for both in the radar receiver so you don't see things like clouds or the terrain (which is the delination of a "look down-shoot down" radar). On a graph, with the vertical axis being 'received power', and horizontal being 'frequency', you have a line that goes striaght across with a big V shaped hole in it. A 'notch'. Which is why they're called 'notch filters' and the tactic is called 'notching' because you're trying to have your radar contact fall into this notch filter in his radar and just disappear.

    Hey man, i'm the new guy in your community😅. Just subscribed😉.
    One thing i have to add about missle-ivasion. If you dieabled the "g-limit" in thr game menu, your game no longer limits you to "9 G"'s.
    What that means is, you can pull much harder, most i saw was 14G's, which not a single missle i know (in the game) can pull. But of course that is only possible for a minimal time window.
    Also, G-forces are easier to pull, the faster you are. For example, if you fly at Mach 0,5 you will never reach 10G's, but if you fly Mach 1,2 the 10G's become ridiculously easy to pull😊

    The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
    In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
    The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

      @TheFerretsWheels  Рік тому +1

      Aim120s (Fox 3) are a more advanced missile than an sim-7 (Fox 1) and has its own onboard radar, so if you lose lock it will activate its own radar and search for a target. When a fox1 loses track it has no onboard radar so it’s trashed.
      In general, if what is shot is radar guided (fox1 or fox3) you will get an RWR warning. This is where you notch, crank etc. and generally do what you can to drain the missiles energy to evade it. If you hear “missile launched but no RWR warning then it will either be a Fox 2 or a friendly launching without calling their shot. In that case lower your throttle and fire countermeasures then look for smoke in the air to get an idea of where it’s coming from. If it’s coming for you keep popping flares until it loses track.
      Each engagement will be a little different and the more practice you get dodging the better you will get and understanding how the missiles work

      Heat seakers, instead of radar, use IRST (Infrared search and track). They differentiate the temperature of your engine versus the surrounding environment. High G manuevers, lots of flares and prayers are how you avoid them.
      Heatseeking missiles are typically short range high G missiles meaning that if youre in range youre exclusively trying to force the missile to overshoot because anything else and youre dead. Kill ABs, fire countermeasures, and alter your trajectory to try to trick them. At medium ranges, just attempt to run the missile out of fuel, heatseekers dont have as much as Radar missiles.
