I'm still not getting how this missiles work.. I'm within 8nm, all the tones confirm lock, but there's no loft and the shrike goes quickly to the ground.. :/
Kinda? High angle dive or at least high altitude launch definitely helps. And lingering in the area to keep the radar active. Need more testing to make sure it wasn't a fluke, but 2 kills for 6 shrikes launched isn't bad
@@Dr_Jebus yeah....but for solo missions, I don't think I'll lug around 2 Shrikes that I know have a lower than 50% hit rate (which means very high chance of both of them wasted). But your video is a very good study since you can bring many friends and fire many. I'm sure its not a fluke, your method seems solid. Thanks!
Will be nice when the Shrike works again. Not sure what broke it in one of the updates, but sure doesn't work right now.
My menacing pass in the beginning there looked closer then I remembered it was 😂
"SHOTGUN!" is the traditional call out when launching the AGM-45 Shrike. 🙂
Ahhh! Good to know, thanks!
Lucky Marknow. to be flying with your own personal Jebus…
Hehe. I always ping when heading on on my discord channel. Link in the description if you want your own flight with personal jebus
Not getting any success with them so far, just nose diving into the ground after I launch them even within 10nm…. 😂

I've not really noticed them loft. They tend just to go right towards the radar signal. And if it drops at all then they go dumb immediately
@@Dr_Jebus are there any radar settings that I have to set to make them work properly? I' m really getting crazy to make them work..
@@massimilianofontana no. Just point nose, hear screetch, fire, pray. High altitude diving seems to work best
@@Dr_Jebus thanks! 🙏🤟🏼
Wait, I disabled the other SA-8?
Yes! Sorry, meant to tell you. Only caught it on the replay
so it kinda works now? ECW SEAD with Shrike is feasible now?

So , still bobbins then?
Yeah, pretty much. Though 2 out of 6 being effective kills isn't bad. Think the key is top-down attacks
Lots of 2.9 stuff going on
