Need some minor modeling assistance

[+Wrench]

FastCargo did the the USAF ASAT missile ago. Unfortunately, I disremember if it was for SF2 or SF1. (he also made the Enterprise, NCC-1701 too!)

I think it was SF1, as to my knowledge nobody converted it for SF2 (at least to my old memory banks)

Ah,ASAT missile,I remember that.

That aim is up, mine is down.

Hello ! In 2024 I tried something for SF2... I could share it if you're interested.

Thanks to Ravenclaw for his outstanding work!!! I've been really looking forward to his unparalleled detail in modeling.

 

So I'm making some minor adjustments to AIM-174B.

Therefore, I made some other adjustments to the testing environment.

For example, I installed an Aegis system on Block3 FA18 that can lock targets at a distance of 400 nm.

My targest is  Su-35s flying 200km away. They will fly in relative or tangential directions to help me complete the test.

I will launch the AIM-174 at an altitude of 10,000 meters and a speed of about Mach 1 to ensure that they are in excellent condition.

I basically made some adjustments to the AIM-174B, such as drag cd, booster, and sustainer etc.

This way it can reach a top speed of M3.5 when climbing to a glide altitude of about 24,000 meters (it may exceed this speed when starting a dive, but not by much)

I also changed it to AHM, and it can be launched at a maximum range of about 340KM (according to the wiki data, the maximum working range of AIM-174 is between 240-400, so I took an intermediate value).

Secondly,Seeker Range is change to 35km (I couldn't find precise data, so I made some extensions based on the common fact that AIM-120 seeker is usually 25km).

Based on these adjustments, the AIM-174's workflow will be as follows:

1. Launch at the radar's maximum serch/track range and climb to glide altitude;

2. Utilize "midcourse correction" to simulate trajectory correction by an E-2 or other data link node before radar activation;

3. In the final 35km, terminal guidance will be provided by its own radar.

I conducted multiple shooting tests. At 300km, it had a good interception rate against enemy troops with poor skills who hardly did any "dodge" and its performance was not too exaggerated.

（I usually do similar work on all missiles with a range of beyond 200KM）

What do you think?

The attached file contains my first revised version,feel free to try it out if you'd like...
