Pour résumer, le 54CMk47 et le 54AMk47 sont tout pété. (Loft trop prononcé entre autre)

Utiliser le 54AMk60 qui lui loft correctement.

Le 54 d'avant patch était trop performant en terme de FM. Le nouveau FM est dispo depuis le dernier patch ce qui réduit un peu ses performances. Mais le système de guidage est encore celui de l'ancienne API missile, ce qui dégrade encore plus ses performances. Ils travaillent aussi vite que possible pour intégrer le nouveau système de guidage qui devrait rééquilibrer les choses.

Pourquoi ils ont mis à dispo un truc à moitié fini ? De un parce que c'est ED qui l'a imposé à HB (pour je ne sais quelle raison technique), et de deux, comme on est sur la branche openbeta, pour qu'on fasse beta testeur et qu'on leur remonte nos observations.

Une personne conseil ceci: Mettre le Target Size Switch sur LARGE pour que le missile passe actif plus tôt. En NORMAL il a tendance à passer actif au même moment où l'IA se met à flanker/beamer.
Je le faisais déjà personnellement pour augmenter les chances de succès face à du lag en multi et perte de tracking TWS au moment fatidique.

Update du 18.05.2022 (openbeta) :

DCS: F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations

Complete ACLS overhaul:

Mise à jour du Phoenix à venir !

https://forum.dcs.world/topic/308085-dc ... -overhaul/

La version C passera active d'elle même en cas de perte de piste TWS ou du lock STT !

[jojo]

Salut,
Bon, je suis un pilote de Tomcat du Dimanche, mais voilà ce que j'ai compris de la MAJ des Phoenix.

Moteur/ durée de combutsion/ particularité
-Mk-47 Mod 0/ 27s/...
-Mk-47 Mod 1/ 27s/ fumée réduite
-Mk-60/ 20,6s
L'impulsion totale (pousée x durée de combustion) de ces 3 moteurs serait plus ou moins équivalente.
Donc le Mk-60 devrait pousser moin longtmeps mais plus fort (plus grosse accélération).
Il faudra voir l'effet de l'altitude sur la vitesse de pointe.
Les 3 moteurs devraient être interchangeable, donc potentiellement 6 combainaisons possibles.

Guidage:
Resistance aux chaffs: AIM-54A << AIM-54C.
Vu le côté statistique arbitraire dans DCS, ça risque d'être désagréable (par exemple des missiles qui "achètent" les chaffs sur des cible "hot").

AIM-54A TWS
Le missile fait du "semi-actif discontinu". Il se met à jour quand il capte l'écho de la cible balayée par le radar AWG-9 en TWS.
Il a besoin d'un signal de l'avion tireur pour passer actif en guidage terminal. Si pour une raison ou une autre il ne le reçoit pas (sile tireur fait demi-tour ou perd la cible), le missile ne passera jamais actif et il sera perdu.

AIM-54A STT
Le missile est semi-actif jusqu'à l'impact, si la cible est perdu ou la poursuite STT interrompue, le missile ne passera pas actif.

AIM-54C TWS
Le missile dispose d'une mini INS, on peut supposer que ses corrections trajectoire seront plus "lissée".
C'est le missile qui décide quand passer actif par rapport à la position de la cible.
Si la poursuite TWS est interrompue, le missile devrait se diriger vers la dernière estimation de position de la cible et passer actif.

AIM-54C STT
IRL, le missile était semi-actif jusqu'à l'impact, comme l'AIM-54A.
Dans DCS, le missile passera actif en phase terminale, même si la poursuite STT est maintenue.
Si la poursuite STT est interrompue, le missile devrait se diriger vers la dernière estimation de position de la cible et passer actif.

En résumé dans DCS l'AIM-54C va se comporter comme un AIM-120.
Ça semble correct sauf pour le tir en STT.

Update du 02.09.2022 (Openbeta)

DCS: F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations

AIM-54 Overhaul, Part 2:
Increased PN gain for all variants.
AIM-54A will now only update guidance when the target is illuminated (you will see the missle periodically update).
Corrected motor impulse (reduced MK47 a bit and the MK60 significantly).
Reduced MK-60 burn time from 30 to 20 seconds.
Both motors have the same total impulse now. The MK60 has a slight advantage during motor burn time, while the MK47 has an advantage in burn time. With increasing altitude the difference becomes smaller.
MK47 Mod 1 has now the same thrust/impulse and burn time as the Mod 0, but with reduced smoke (was previously weaker than the Mod 0).
AIM-54C should go active by default (even when losing lock from STT).
Increased AIM-54C chaff resistance.
Reduced AIM-54A chaff resistance.
Added option for AIM-54C with MK-60 motor.
Adjusted AIM-54 missile empty mass.
Adjusted MK-60 motor propellant mass.
Set the JESTER option for automatic PDSTT -> PSTT to disabled by default.
Fixed several issues with damaged avionics and flight systems (including jammed flaps for example) not allowing a repair to be triggered.
Potential fix for CTD with F-14 AI (was not applied correctly in the last patch).
Fixed emergency sweep logic:
Fixed commanded wing sweep position being saved over to a new aircraft spawn.
Fixed emergency wing sweep handle moving to spider detent on new aircraft spawn.
Fixed wing sweep indicator commanded position bit mismatching with the actual indicated position.
Fixed emergency sweep handle able to be moved between 68° and 75°, after being stowed at 75°. Now it has to be lifted to move it again after it has been stowed.
Fixed wing sweep indicator raising EMER / OVER flags when wings get swept past 67 degrees.
Fixed turn indicator needle deflection rate.
Fixed mach buffet not dying off beyond M 1.3.
Fixed an issue with the AWG-9 track logic to avoid tracks being thrown by aircraft launching air to air missiles.
Fixed LANDING CHK light remaining illuminated after touchdown.
Fixed Manual Throttle not unlocking after disengaging the Autothrottle.

Update du 08.09.2022 (Stable)

DCS: F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations

AIM-54 Overhaul, Part 2:
Increased PN gain for all variants.
AIM-54A will now only update guidance when the target is illuminated (you will see the missle periodically update).
Corrected motor impulse (reduced MK47 a bit and the MK60 significantly).
Reduced MK-60 burn time from 30 to 20 seconds.
Both motors have the same total impulse now. The MK60 has a slight advantage during motor burn time, while the MK47 has an advantage in burn time. With increasing altitude the difference becomes smaller.
MK47 Mod 1 has now the same thrust/impulse and burn time as the Mod 0, but with reduced smoke (was previously weaker than the Mod 0).
AIM-54C should go active by default (even when losing lock from STT).
Increased AIM-54C chaff resistance.
Reduced AIM-54A chaff resistance.
Added option for AIM-54C with MK-60 motor.
Adjusted AIM-54 missile empty mass.
Adjusted MK-60 motor propellant mass.
Set the JESTER option for automatic PDSTT -> PSTT to disabled by default.
Fixed several issues with damaged avionics and flight systems (including jammed flaps for example) not allowing a repair to be triggered.
Potential fix for CTD with F-14 AI (was not applied correctly in the last patch).
Fixed emergency sweep logic:
Fixed commanded wing sweep position being saved over to a new aircraft spawn.
Fixed emergency wing sweep handle moving to spider detent on new aircraft spawn.
Fixed wing sweep indicator commanded position bit mismatching with the actual indicated position.
Fixed emergency sweep handle able to be moved between 68° and 75°, after being stowed at 75°. Now it has to be lifted to move it again after it has been stowed.
Fixed wing sweep indicator raising EMER / OVER flags when wings get swept past 67 degrees.
Fixed turn indicator needle deflection rate.
Fixed mach buffet not dying off beyond M 1.3.
Fixed an issue with the AWG-9 track logic to avoid tracks being thrown by aircraft launching air to air missiles.
Fixed LANDING CHK light remaining illuminated after touchdown.
Fixed Manual Throttle not unlocking after disengaging the Autothrottle.
Fixed all mission versions of “Watching the Devil Dog” not being able to be completed successfully.

Sachant que le "burn through" des ECM des bombardiers dans DCS est de 12nm*, on va avoir un problème pour utiliser le phoenix pour ce qu'il a été conçu...

*actuellement il y a 3 distances de burn through dans DCS en fonction de la taille de l'avion: 12nm (gros: Tu-22/B-52) / 23nm (moyen:Su-27/F-15) / 29nm (petit: Mig-29/F-16)

EDIT:
Ma question:
So how are we supposed to intercept a Tu-22 bombers raid in TWS at long distance when their burn through in DCS is 12nm..... ???....

La réponse d'HB:
Home on jam is your friend if your running a mission where the bombers are allowed to jam. Not as long a distance as without jamming but you could also disable ECM in the mission to make it more realistic.
