Before going any further, I'd just like to clarify that this missile system is ONLY used on the FJ-4B VMF 232 that was offered during the Operation S.U.M.M.E.R. If you'd like to acquire this jet, I'm pretty sure that you can find one for sale onthe WarThunder Market. Archived post. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. The the two consoles are essentially the same. Do you happen to still have the file? I understand how to fire and guide AAMs, but what about AGMs? You're going to be looking for the black silhouette of an enemy tank to appear. All rights reserved. You generally want to use these at long range, but some advanced SARH missiles like the Skyflash or AIM-7F are great in dogfights too! By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. 1. Weapons selector mode is disabled, all four Sidewinder missiles must be fired before Skyflash missiles can be fired. Your video looks like AB and I play sim only. BTW this is a Heli-thread, not fighter jets Its not AB. Operational Method 2: TV-Guidance METHOD IS NOW DISABLED! Once the growling changes into a continuous tone you have a lock, so you press the launch button and let the missile do its job. I've found myself at the wrong end of a couple R-60s and they only fired when I was around 1km from them. Make sure your within about 3 km otherwise it locks on but wont fire. All this makes targeting and guidance much easier and even allows for moderate changes of aircraft movement at the same time. Avg. The larger green square shows the limits of your camera, the smaller green square shows the firing limits of your missiles. and our Speed of Aircraft: Time until you're in enemy radar range: 400 kph (249 mph) 51.7sec, 500 kph (311 mph) 41.4 sec, 600 kph (373 mph) 34.5 sec, 700 kph (435 mph) 29.6 sec, 800 kph (497 mph) 25.9 sec, 900 kph (559 mph) 23.0 sec. What has changed? Maybe being able to get a lock in gunner view is the actual bug? Select Secondary Weapon (to get into the mode and cycle through): SHIFT + RMT Fire Secondary Weapon: RMT (outside of mode, I have it assigned to MGs) Exit Weapon Selection Mode: CTRL + RMT Best regards, Phil Report post Posted September 3, 2020 Try this. Throttle Axis: Left Stick: Up-Down Hold Throttle for WEP: Yes Roll Axis: Right Stick: Left-Right Pitch Axis: Right Stick: Up-Down Yaw Axis: Left Stick: Left-Right Roll, pitch, and yaw sensitivity ALL need to be at 0%. This is particularly useful for aircraft with . However, it was soon learnt after experience gained in the Vietnam War that guns were still a useful asset to an aircraft's weapon suite, and so many modern fighters today still carry guns in some capacity, though it is true to say the art of modern air combat is defeating the opponent using your radar and AAMs. The Skyflashes can be used without firing the Sidewinders first. You're using an early close-range missile. A direct hit will usually knock out any vehicle. You can just use them like a Tiny Tim. To use this method, start by approaching the battle zone at an altitude of about 2 km (1.24 mi/6562 ft). You need to be at an angle where the missile can very easily see the enemies' engine(s). Ok don't worry figured it out you need to assign a key to switch weapons, and a separate to "exit" the weapon select mode yikes thats dumb. As for guiding the missile from a long distance, granted, it is difficult, but not impossible. Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). Launch range: Maximum range that the missile can travel before self-detonation. Press it only once or else you'll turn the thing off with the second press. After you've got that down, the rest is just practice. I don't know. Tried it out, and it works. I get that, but when I click Alt+X I only see the circle for a second. Weapons selector mode is enabled, only the cannons are being fired by the "Fire primary weapon" key. Just keep the target in the smaller inner circle, once you have a lock, change to normal cockpit view and fire. Sometimes I'm spam clicking the lock button and nothing happens except the circle appears for a second and disappears only for it to start growling maybe 10 seconds later, when I have no target to lock on to since it's already out of my firing line since the thing wouldn't lock on when I needed it to. Hi, since there's no way to testflight drones, maybe someone around here can help me Do you notice that when you go to camera view there is 1 small little box at the middle? And you can still control the missile whilst tracking the missile. In case you haven't figured it out, that's how it's supposed to work. I think once I can be bothered, I'll just get rid of the "legacy" system and go to the weapon toggle and single button for weapon release, more realistic and fewer key binds. - Sketching I'll make sure to do that next time I log in. Privacy Policy. (default key: space). Go to Controls -> Aircraft -> Weaponry, and scroll down to yaw/pitch axis for aimweapons (shown below). However, SARH missiles have 3, with a slightly larger circle surrounding the seeker's head. At first, it's spooling up in the "PWR" (powering) mode and the smaller circle will blink slowly. AB is a big mess: small maps with jets put into one place and "amazing" physics. After pressing "Fire air-to-air missile", 1-3 circles will display on your screen. Though if you have a set up which will allow guns to override weapons select, that would be fantastic. 1) The "locking" indicator doesn't stay on..I have to almost constantly repress the key to bring up the circles, 2) Even with #1, it will often just not lock on (even when I looking right at the tail pipe of a mig17, it didn't lock at close to moderate range). Because they are only passively cooled, they are not very sensitive and so need a considerable heat source to lock onto, and the hottest part of an aircraft is the engine exhaust. Note that in-game these guidance systems might work differently than their respective real counterparts or the missiles might use a different guidance system than in reality. Anyone know the binding to shoot the damn things? Privacy Policy. All you need to do then is just keep the missile on the enemy tank until it hits. albeit IS-7 could do 8.3. i play against them in 7.7 with my leo 1 and dude 8 - 10 match we lose against is 7, These vehicles describe the jumbo syndrome better than the jumbo itself. It is probably going to be the safest method of use, and the most rewarding, but also the hardest. and our Yes annoying but workable, e.g. After a missile of this type is launched, the gunner or pilot watches the motor or tracer components of the missile and sends correcting guidance commands to keep the projectile on target. A "Weapon selection on" message will appear at the bottom of the screen, A ">" symbol will appear next to the selected primary and secondary weapon. It is recommended to check your surroundings and ensure that there are no enemies in the vicinity, as it can be significantly more difficult to attempt to control both missile and aircraft at the same time. Hence they are all-aspect - they can detect and track an aircraft from any direction. Do I have to switch to another view? Step 1: Find a target. Fires the selected secondary weapon, regardless of what type it is (only works while weapons selector mode is enabled). Air-to-air missiles or AAMs for short are missiles fired from aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft. Since we know the max speed of missile immediately after engine burnout (600 m/s, again, courtesy of @Iron_physik) and the time during whichthe rocket motor burns, we can calculate how long the missile will fly in a straight line with relatively no drop: (300 m/s)/(3.5 s) = about 85.7 m/s^2, the average horizontal acceleration of the rocket until the motor burns out. I made some smaller calculations to see how far the missile goes in realility above the ground:boring maths: 27 seconds flight time until self destruction, Speed during self destruction: 800kph ->795kph avg speed of the plane ->> 220m/s, 220m/s * 27s ->plane traveled 5940m rocket explodes 7000m away from plane according to data, so the rocket has a average speed of 479m/s over a distance of close to 13km. If you launch at the correct moment, you'll never have to worry about SPAAGs, because chances are, even after the missile hits, you'll still be out of their radar range. Top tier air combat can be daunting and sometimes cruel, but it can also be really fun, using your superior knowledge of the battlefield and usage of your avionics and missiles to defeat opponents. Still useless in my opinion still makes radar guided AA king of killing air either your diving at the target or flying over it only ways to use it you cant really track the target. -4. A target must be in this circle to get a lock. if you have bombs on Space Bar, one could assign "Fire Secondary Weapon" also to Space Bar, because as said, whatever weapon firing it normally is assigned to will be overridden while in Weapon Selection Mode. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. At that point, the horizontal distance the rocket travels is determined by its horizontal velocity alone: Now, we can set up an equation for horizontal distance: Once we know "T," we cancalculate how much the missile drops during this period. Please be aware we do not claim to be working with Gaijin in any way, content such as guides, videos and images have been submitted by original owners/contributors and may feature gameplay from Gaijin / War Thunder. It will appear as a only a small black dot, but be sure to watch for it. The other reason why you need to count off in your head is because you need to know when to launch the missile. The bombs and rockets can be used independent of the missiles. Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of AAM: Missiles emerged shortly after WWII as the new form of air weaponry. To begin with, familiarise yourself with the following controls: To set up the weapons selector, you should first bind the "Fire primary weapon" control. Now when I do the exact same thing, I switch from Aim7 to Aim9, exit the weapon selection mode and it goes back to aim7's. Advanced laser guided missiles can operate even when the laser illumination is stopped and will continue its flight path on inertial guidance. The bombs can now be dropped. Pubis (Banned) Mar 12, 2019 @ 3:02pm. Maximum overload: Maximum Gs the missile can pull during flight. The user interface with the weapons selector enabled can be seen to the right. I'm not going to bother explaining this method much, because it's so easy and IMO overpowered that anyone can master it extremely quickly. Sparrows also seem to be rather hit and miss (pardon the pun). Press lock-on button and 2 circles appear, I try to keep the target in the inner smaller circle and the beep beep beep converts into a long steady sound beeeeeeeeep (is that the lock-on confirmation?).

Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). I've been practicing on bots with this setup, well almost. 1.) I'll update the post once it's fixed. The trick is setting the same key to both "fire guns" and "fire primary weapon". Marathon. RogueStarflyer, September 3, 2018 in Air Force Academy. We've learnt about the 4 different types - how they work, how to fire them, and how to best use each of them. To fire an AAM, you first need to spool up the motor in the missile so it can begin acquiring a target. I have x data to prove this! You are better off to change to gunners view for a quick lock-on, there you see circles indicating that you activated the lock-on sequence. Because certain weapons (like ATGMs) can only be fired by one of the crew members (e.g. As for the drop of the rocket, you're also correct. Scan this QR code to download the app now. I go to test flight mode, take off and there is actually a jet fighter passing by. At least make it have a limited range so the TV guided part can be used that would work it doesnt need to circle the entire length of the world like dovabear to just then hit its target. Were the really Sparrows that bad when it came to ground clutter? But here's the thing, I managed to get a few kills with the missiles already, but most of the time the fukin missiles will not fire at all, I get the missile seeker circle on target, wait for it to turn red, and when it's red I like have to press 20 times the fire button to fire the missile and pray for it to fire. Ah, that I hadn't done. The link for the AGM vs. tank test mission doesn't work. A flare is considered a decoy, depending on the material it is made from to either burn as hot or hotter than the aircraft's exhaust in an attempt to cause the missile to target it. Operational Method 3: Unguided strikes, ________________________________________________________________________. 20112023 Gaijin Games Kft. 1. The problem with trying to engage at close range is that doing so will put the Apache in huge amounts of danger. Don't worry though; I've already done the math for you. Update dropped today that is supposed to disable the weapon camera view for the Bullpup. It is critical that you set up the weapons selector correctly or else you may find yourself in a situation where you are unable to use any weaponry on your aircraft. Keen historian and player. We'll learn what missile statistics mean, all the missile types in the game, how they interact with your radar and how they are used in this conclusive guide to help you dominate the skies of high tier jet gameplay. Where T = the time until your aircraft is within radar range and X = the speed of your aircraft, in kph. Essentially, a smart (or unskilled, depending on how you see it) pilot will simply hold "U" during the entire duration of the missile's flight, and use it to TV-guide the missile directly to the target. 4. At that point, start counting off the seconds inyour head. The weapons selector is also useful in many other situations; such as for aircraft with multiple types of bombs, allowing you to chose which order to drop your bombs in, or multiple calibres of offensive armament, allowing you to conserve certain ammunition for more important engagements. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. I stabilize my drone camera then I turn on the laser and I cant fire any missiles. This method allows you to have better visibility on your target and the whole battlefield in general as you guide the missile in. IR missiles are the main WVRAAM used since the onset of missile technology in the early 1950s. Just how you just said it. Weapons selector is not available for selecting between different armaments on naval or ground units. The seeker's head detects the emitted radar waves bouncing off the target and follows the detection to track the target. JFG80, December 18, 2018 in Helicopters Academy. I don't play SB. Most aircraft able to carry SARH missiles can carry IR missiles too, so press "Switch between primary weapons" to toggle between your heatseekers and radar guides. It will help 100%. Even if you get close to your target, and I mean as close as a couple of hundred meters, there is significant drop of the rocket, just like the Tiny Tim, so aiming in SB is almost similar to using Tiny Tims. Look at Guidance system type. Assuming that the acceleration due to gravity in the game is like that of the earth (-9.8 m/s^2), we can calculate the drop of the missile over this time period as follows: Where DV= the vertical drop (and hence the vertical lead)andT = equals the elapsed time since missile launch. Landing a clean shot on a difficult target. Press the "weapon lock" button. The maximum range of the missile can be seen in the lower part of the view, in the example it is 3,500 m, and the bigger bar below it shows the range of the currently aimed point. On ps4 it's a combo (l2 & r1, I think), si may be it's a combo on xbox? Big shout out to @Gallonmate, @RideR2, and @Iron_physikfor making this mission possible. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. Once set up, it allows the player to cycle through their primary and secondary weapons, and fire them using the same bound key. The "Switch secondary weapons" key can be pressed to activate the weapons selector and switch between launching the different suspended armaments. It's important to remember their shortcomings though - they're pretty useless above 5km, and even later missiles can still be easily dodged with careful flaring and evading. It annoys me that guns don't override weapon select, I had one situation where a Sidewinder didn't follow my target, but I couldn't use guns since I was still in weapon select and by the time I realised this and turned it off I had overshot. Flares are infrared countermeasures fired off by aircraft to counter infrared homing (heat-seeking) missiles. 1. chillobreeki 2 yr. ago. If I screwed up badly, however, post your evidence and proof, and I'll correct my calculations accordingly. It can do a direct attack at closer ranges (rather than its usual top attack) but if fired at an odd angle, it may not have time to manoeuvre onto the target if fired at closer ranges. If yes, which view? This can allow for much easier and more accurate targeting than MCLOS missiles with fine adjustments using the mouse, but means that ample time should be given to allow the aircraft to pull up after the missile has struck. All-aspect - These are more advanced IR AAMs that use an actively-cooled seeker head. When launched from an aircraft, the SACLOS guided missile will fly towards the direction in which the aircraft's nose is pointing. I'll look into my key binds but I'm pretty sure I can shoot guns even without having them selected. Thus, I'd recommend that you learn the standard operational method. It's important to note that if you turn too hard, the missile can lose track of your radar beam and will be wasted. Then you should bind the "Fire secondary weapon" control. Don't worry about your aircraft; once you're holding "U," the aircraft will automatically level itself out and fly in a straight line until the missile impacts or you stop holding "U." Learn how your comment data is processed. Just pull off and set up another attack run. Thanks guys. Are you sure it's a bug? Here is a screenshot of the assigned controls you need to activate the "lock" and keep the target inside the smaller circle - the activation will "growl" and when locked, it will change tone..you then fire. Just keep the target in the smaller inner circle, once you have a lock, change to normal cockpit view and fire. Exits weapon selector mode and restores standard key binds to operation. You should leave these untouched if you have already set them up. You are better off to change to gunners view for a quick lock-on, there you see circles indicating that you activated the lock-on sequence. This differs from other laser-guided missiles, in that the missile is guided by the laser beam itself rather than guiding towards the reflection of the laser on the target. Operation Lightfoot (Second Battle of El Alamein), Operation Sandstorm & Operation Dust Clouds, MCLOS - Manual Command to Line-of-Sight Missiles, SACLOS - Semi-Automatic Command to Line-of-Sight Missiles. This can also often be set to centre automatically on a designated point on the ground (the "sight stabilization" keybind), which accounts for the relative motion of the helicopter and maintains the image in the gunner view, thus allowing for smooth guidance of the missile even when the helicopter is performing extreme manoeuvres. That is using Southernbear's setup with the exception of MGs and cannons set to mouse 1 and 2 respectively. It depends on how fast your aircraft is moving. https://wiki.warthunder.com/index.php?title=Weapons_selector&oldid=154106. 1. skyrimmemer04 2 yr. ago. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. LbLt for Air to air, LbRt for air to ground. As the camera does not provide any infrared information, it may sometimes be accidentally locked onto high contrast objects in the vicinity of the intended target instead, which can cause a miss if the target subsequently moves away from the area. After pressing "Fire air-to-air missile", 1-3 circles will display on your screen. I do plan to do this; unfortunately, atm, my recording software is broken. I'm just going to briefly touch on how to set up the missile controls. I have been able to hit targets in game (and in test flight) and seen it used against teammates in game as well..so it does work..but maybe not consistently. The HVAR rockets are selected and can be fired by pressing the "Fire secondary weapon" key. 20112023 Gaijin Games Kft. Some more advanced helicopters have the additional option of locking the stabilized sight to a moving target, thus allowing semi-autonomous guidance of the missile. Infrared homing missiles are similar in use to TV guided missiles, but feature an infrared imaging system instead of the optical camera, allowing heat sources (such as tanks) to be more easily differentiated and locked onto in cluttered environments and under low optical visibility conditions such as night-time. 2. Locking may be a bit more difficult. The aircraft points a target-illuminating laser onto the desired target and when the missiles is fired it will fly automatically towards the laser point on the target. If you have the jet, then chances are, you've probably already tried the system out yourself if you've unlocked it, and have either done moderately well with it, or you've been disappointed, depending on how you've played the missile so far. This complete guide to air to air missiles in War Thunder goes over basic missile concepts, guidance types, keybinds, and how to use them in the game. Because your radar is pointing forwards, you essentially guide the missile by pointing your aircraft directly at the target. IR missiles are great for short-range knife fights where you're manoeuvring to get in shot of the enemy. You must first get a radar lock to fire SARH missiles, and you need to maintain that radar lock for the entire duration of the missile's flight, or else it will lose track and be wasted. While hard to use and often unrewarding, these missiles can be really useful in dogfights where the enemy doesn't expect it or in head-ons where all the missiles at the BR ranges these missiles are used are rear-aspect - killing someone with a missile in a head-on often takes people by surprise, and they can be quite fun - I just can't recommend them to beginner pilots as they are not easy to use. Distance from target on launch: Vertically lead the target: 0.5 km (0.31 mi) 0.06km (0.04 mi), 1.0 km (0.62 mi) 0.11 km (0.07 mi), 1.5 km (0.93 mi) 0.26km (0.16 mi), 2.0 km (1.24 mi) 0.44 km (0.27 mi), 2.5 km (1.55 mi) 0.68 km (0.42 mi). Then again, my key binds are all a mess, because we keep on having to add new things every patch. This is the control which will fire your selected primary weapon (usually your guns), so you should bind it to the same key you usually use for your guns (left mouse button by default). I am doing exactly as described in the video but the missile wouldn't fire. Look at your Missile Stats. You need to lock your target in the circle and then launch AAM. To first understand how AAMs really work in War Thunder, let's take a look at their stat cards in-game. Once set up, it allows the player to cycle through their primary and secondary weapons, and fire them using the same bound key. You assign a button for locking on, wait for it to get the target and fire with the firing button you use. 3. How is one supposed to use the new AIM-9 missiles exactly? Once the motor burns out,the horizontal acceleration is zero. The default keybinds for manual missile guidance will prevent you from manoeuvring your aircraft with the keyboard at the same time. Later missiles have an "uncaged seeker" - where the IR-detecting electronics are mounted on a gimbal that can pivot and rotate, so the missile can detect and track targets that aren't necessarily directly in front of it, which helps to get an initial lock, allows your aircraft to "lead" ahead of the shot, and helps maintain a lock against a moving aircraft. 20112023 Gaijin Games Kft. The new system is really janky but it seems this system is making it so you can switch not only between missiles but also types of guns, rockets and bombs which is why its not just 1 button keybind.

Enabling sight stabilization will also display the range to the target in the gunner view. Report post Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) On 18/12/2018 at 12:41, EpicBlitzkrieg87 said: That's what they do in the game. I can here some strange noise like beep beep and I push the lock on button but nothing locks on??? The Sidewinder is rather poor at tracking and I don't remember having to wait 6 seconds to get a lock with either missile in DCS, but I guess that's off-topic here. "3/1" means that of a total of three bombs, one is of the selected type (500 lb AN-M64A1). Do keep in mind that you have to get pretty close to get a proper lock. The SACLOS guidance system improves on MCLOS by having a device that calculates correction commands such that the gunner only has to point the sight of the targeting device at the target, and the appropriate correction commands will be performed by the device. At the second the silhouette is visible, you are approximately 8.25 km (5.12 mi) awayfrom the enemy tank.
