British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Very late reply I know

I think there was a report a long time ago, just after they randomly and incorrectly updated the mass. Claim based on initial mass of vehicle in-game, earlier A.45 (55t) and estimates based on real life info.

Centurion Mk 3 turret weighs 12.7t (REME and model forum)
FV200 GT testbed weighed 45.7t. The testbed was a base hull - meteorite engine (835.1kg) + No2979 GT engine (2540kg) and a bunch of gubbins welded on for test gear
2540 - 835.1 = 1704.9kg
45.7t - 1.7t = 44t (43,995.1kg)

Add the turret back in and you get 56.7t

does meteor get gnss and 2 way like aim 120d

It has definitely got 2 way datalink, I’m not sure about GPS guidance.

Do you know if AIM-9L and M have their Lambda loop modeled?

I don’t think Gaijin model Lambda Compensation directly, but the whole point of Lambda Compensation is to stop the missile pulling so hard that it inadvertently puts the target outside the gimbal limits. As far as I know missiles in game won’t carry out a maneuver which will result in it pointing more than it’s max look angle away from the target.

So in essence the outcome of Lambda Compensation is modelled

Yes but it says 25G almost directly off the rail.

Would it then be able to hit higher off boresight targets?

I’m pretty sure Lambda compensation being fully modelled would be a nerf if anything.

It still puts the missile in lead pursuit.

Would an AtA missile ever be anything but lead pursuit?

Collision pursuit

That’s just proportional navigation guidance. All Lambda Compensation really does is reduce steering commands at the start of flight to stop the missile pointing so far ahead that the target leaves the seeker gimbal limits.

Yes what about the 45 G pull when all 4 find are aiding

thats 2 plane pull, gaijin doesn’t do that

only gets modelled for missiles that actively pull into the 2 plane pull,

due to the basic design of the AIM-9 (rollerons) it is physically impossible for it to

Unless a plane is flying directly 90 degrees to the missile when turning more than 2 fins will pull

And unless it is perfectly at 45° to the plane of the fins it will not pull 45 g.

It will pull a value between 32 and 45 depending on angle.

⠀⠀

Even still 2G more would be nice

I reported that and they threw the report out because apparently 30g is close enough.

Selective realism again

In all fairness you didn’t use this snip I don’t think.

You used the average engagement process.
