Updated Comet AA/AG/AS Radar missile.

Further PID changes. pp=5 pd=100 py=10 dy=0

Change to the forward fin assembly.

This is the newly tuned version of the comet. The only changes have been to the pid numbers. The pitch pid settings have been changes from PP=20 to PP=5. This has decreased the missile's pitch changes. This has made the missile more stable.

The next section has increased the accuracy of the missile in the YAW envelope. The PY has been changed from 20 to 25. Increasing the ability of the missile to change course. The PD value has been decreased from 100 to 25. This has dampened the oscillation.

Overall after testing I am getting more consistent hits and I would love some feedback if you are experiencing better performance.


Testing methodology.

To test the new settings I spawned at the airfield near spy cakes. After an attack run I reloaded the save so the same vessels are in the same location.

My main adversaries were. 1 large assault ship. 2 small patrol boats. 1 tank. A few civilian helicopters who strayed into the killbox.

These settings have been giving me more consistent hits. The large ship is slow moving and an easy hit. I mostly ignored it as it was not a challenge.

The main focus of the test was the PT style attack boats. They are fast and often perform U-turns. I tried to target them at the least optimal orientation. Giving them the best chance at a miss and giving the comet the greatest challenge.

This consisted of targeting them perpendicular to the missile while they are at max speed. This made it a target moving across the nose of the aircraft at "high" speed. The results are an improvement over the initial release. The misses were close, but most were hits.

Stationary tank was a piece of cake.

Suggestions. As in real life I recommend you set yourself up for the most ideal approach angle. Imagine throwing a baseball at a moving car. The hardest is going to be throwing it at a car moving right to left (perpendicular). The easiest is going to be throwing it at the car going either towards or away from you.

When targeting a moving object try to approach from the stern or bow. This requires the least about of correction from the missile giving you the greatest change of a hit
