I would think that if you don't change the WRA settings at all, and avoid NEZ on the player side, you wouldn't see a huge and game-changing difference in A2A. You might see more with changes to ASW.

Even if the scenarios are not updated to the latest DB, the model for the AA missiles range still changes if played with "tiny", doesn't it?

What I mean it's that I still don't get what changes of those being introduced by "tiny" are "core" and what are "DB related".

And I appreciate the time taken to do the testing and the honest answer.

Keep up the good work everyone!

After the update, all AAMs will use the new kinematic model even if the scenario uses an old DB. Missiles will accelerate for as long as their motor will last, then coast until they run out of energy. The range value still exists, but it's there mainly for ROE purposes, the motor performance dictates the actual effective range of the missile. Even if the statcard says AMRAAM has a 27nm range, if you shoot it at 27 nm you aren't going to hit anything since the missile motor burns out in 4 seconds.

Looking at some DB comparisons, it looks like if you are using an old DB model, the game will convert the old missile range value to a motor burn time based on a set of calculations/DB values, which can change drastically between DB versions. On newer than 494 DB versions, these motor values get tweaked by hand rather than mass converted (ex, in the beta the AIM-120D's burn motor time went from 5 to 18, because with the initial converted values 120D was sputtering out after 20nm, which isn't "accurate"). In one scenario, an AIM-7 Sparrow might have 16 seconds of motor time due to it's DB version, in a newer version it might only have 4 seconds and a fraction of the effective range.

There's a lot of weirdness with missile values right now, and I would not use the statcard range as anything but the roughest of ballparks. Look at the motor numbers to see what it's effective range might be like. I expect a lot of changes in the coming patches tweaking motor burn time and missile speeds in order to get missiles behaving as they should relative to each other.

You´ll have to wait until I have ordered my copy

Fair enough---lol

Should be plenty to go around guys Just reviewing another chapter that Joel sent me... trying to put my Brit had on

I guess I’ll have to wait for the audiobook version just found book one on audible
