I don't play SB. Active radar homing (ARH) missiles have a radar emitter built in so that they don't have to rely on target illumination by the aircraft that fired it, making them fire-and-forget weapons. 20112023 Gaijin Games Kft. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Hence they are rear-aspect - you need to be behind an aircraft for the missile to detect and track it. When you have a lock in the "TRACK" mode, the circle/s will turn red and sound a sharper tone - you are then ready to press "Fire air-to-air missile" again and fire. These early missiles have a radar sensor in the rear of the missile that detects the radar beam of your aircraft. Pubis (Banned) Mar 12, 2019 @ 3:02pm. Look at your Missile Stats. In the example below, the Phantom FGR.2 is carrying four Skyflashes, four AIM-9G Sidewinders, two 1,000 lb bombs, three 540 lb bombs, and SNEB rockets. Maximum overload during launch: Maximum Gs the aircraft can pull while the missile can still fire. At that point, start counting off the seconds inyour head. Try this. Step 3: Download the AGM vs Tank user mission(paste in UserMissions folder). Once set up, it allows the player to cycle through their primary and secondary weapons, and fire them using the same bound key. Another use for the weapons selector is choosing which bombs to drop for aircraft with multiple bombs. I didn't realize that you couldn't use the TV cam in SB. Removing the camera view is just one of these. I found a workaround anyway, I lock on in gunner's view and fire in normal view.. All rights reserved. So we've gone over what an air-to-air missile actually is, how they work in-game. Privacy Policy. all in all the implementation is quite well done and I could not find any contradiction with historic data I could find for it. Learn how your comment data is processed. -4. Weapons selector mode is enabled, with AIM-9G Sidewinders selected. 2. After you've got that down, the rest is just practice. 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. It does not work in SBGF, I already filed a bug report. And you can still control the missile whilst tracking the missile. It might take a bit of practice, but once you have it mastered, you're good to go! The wing-mounted 1,000 lb bombs are selected. As for the drop of the rocket, you're also correct. What good are guided rockets if you cant see where its going you carry a censor pod on the right wing one of the most sophisticated weapons systems and your shooting blind I was looking forward to guide it to its target and no that target's not a player tank rather a base now its useless might as well be removed. I stabilize my drone camera then I turn on the laser and I cant fire any missiles. How do I use AIR TO AIR and AIR TO GROUND missiles? Thanks for the info. MCLOS guided missiles are typically guided either by physical connection to the launch platform by a wire, or by radio waves. Plus, I think that it's a more rewarding to kill a tank this way from a long range than via TV-guidance. By Do you happen to still have the file? This page was last edited on 7 February 2023, at 10:16. 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. Once launched, the missile will attempt to keep itself in the centre of the beam that is projected out from the launch platform. It was believed during the Cold War that the days of dogfighting with guns were over, and so missiles soon became the dominant weapon type. Wait. Maximum speed: Top speed of the missile during flight. They allow the ability to steer the projectile to engage even moving targets. Press it only once or else you'll turn the thing off with the second press. While the weapons selector is active the rockets cannot be fired by pressing the "Fire rocket" key, instead they must be fired by selecting them and pressing the "Fire secondary weapon" key. You assign a button for locking on, wait for it to get the target and fire with the firing button you use. Then you should bind the "Fire secondary weapon" control. That is using Southernbear's setup with the exception of MGs and cannons set to mouse 1 and 2 respectively. This is simply not true. Without steering input from the player, the missile will behave like a simple unguided rocket. Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of AAM: Missiles emerged shortly after WWII as the new form of air weaponry. What has changed? The rest of the time, it says "load factor too high" and doesn't fire!! Instead the bombs must be selected by pressing the "Switch secondary weapons" key until the ">" symbol moves to the bombs (pressing the key will cycle between each available secondary weapon; in this case AIM-9Gs, Skyflashes, 540 lb and 1,000 lb bombs, and SNEB rockets). I forward to remove camera from dumb-fire rockets and bombs aswell. You're in luck; during the grinding period of the event, several community CDK data miners and mission makers managed to create a user mission with the AGM-12B Bullpup mechanics and get it working. 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. As such, they are more sensitive to temperature changes and so they can detect the IR radiation-emitting off all the surfaces of an aircraft. I am doing exactly as described in the video but the missile wouldn't fire. The the two consoles are essentially the same. In War Thunder, television-guided missiles refer to a class of missile guided by "optical contrast seekers". For jets you can probably fire a bit further if they have their exhaust pointed at you. To begin with, familiarise yourself with the following controls: To set up the weapons selector, you should first bind the "Fire primary weapon" control. thank you so much. IR missiles are the main WVRAAM used since the onset of missile technology in the early 1950s. Semi Automatic Command to Line of Sight (SACLOS), Air-to-air missiles#Command guided missile controls, [Devblog] New features upcoming with the "Ixwa Strike" update - Tactical air-to-surface missiles, [Devblog] AGM-12B Bullpup: They can't dodge, https://wiki.warthunder.com/index.php?title=Air-to-ground_missiles&oldid=158840, Keys to control the yaw (side to side) movement of the missile, Keys to control the pitch (up and down) movement of the missile. Why would you get a lock in one view and fire in a different view??? 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. 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). So, I just got my first top-tier which is the german Mig-21MF, and just barely got the first missiles which are the R3-S (through literal torture of a grind, as the cannon is useless on this thing). Launch range: Maximum range that the missile can travel before self-detonation. Weapons selector mode is enabled, with Skyflashes selected. I try to fire Air to Air missile but it won't fire??? speed of aircraft during attack run: After entering missile launch zone, launch missile after: 400 kph (249 mph) 27.4 sec, 500 kph (311 mph) 18.8 sec, 600 kph (373 mph) 12.6 sec, 700 kph (435 mph) 7.87sec, 800 kph (497 mph) 3.58sec, 900 kph (559 mph) 0.00 sec. This is the control which will fire your selected secondary weapon. First-generation jets such as the F-86 Sabre and MiG-17 were soon equipped with very primitive missiles, though development quickly advanced into this new niche of air combat and missiles diversified into many distinct types during the Cold War as the aircraft alongside them advanced, such as the F-4 Phantom II or MiG-23. Beam riding missiles are operated using a radar or laser beam to guide them to the target. This method is for the more aggressive among you guys that are used to the traditional unguidedrocket strikes. It's something I do to my series X and my 360 regularly to keep them for overheating and causing frame rate issues like this. I cant find it anywhere. Well, you can track the bull pup missile using the same keybinding. The missile will guide itself towards the target, leaving the pilot free to manoeuvre the aircraft and evade any anti-air defences. Originally posted by Illusionyary: By default air to air is Alt+X to activate the missiles and Alt+Space to fire them once locked. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Exits weapon selector mode and restores standard key binds to operation. The game is based around combined arms battles on air, land, and sea with vehicles from the Great War to today. Archived post. The weapons selector can be enabled by pressing either the "Switch primary weapons" or "Switch secondary weapons" key; and can be deactivated by pressing the "Exit selected weapon mode" key. So then, when do you launch the missile? The currently selected secondary weapon is the Skyflash, and so a ">" symbol has appeared next to the AAM label to indicate air-to-air missiles are selected. 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. You should leave these untouched if you have already set them up. To fire an AAM, you first need to spool up the motor in the missile so it can begin acquiring a target. Read this section carefully, improperly setting up the weapons selector can lead to the inability to use any weapons. Sometimes they just don't track, even though I have a radar lock, and if the target is any distance below the horizon or you are below 1000m, forget it. Just keep the target in the smaller inner circle, once you have a lock, change to normal cockpit view and fire. Thank you all for reading, and good luck on the battlefield! Finally, bind the "Exit selected weapon mode" control, this will restore the weapon controls mode to the standard mode. 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. To obtain the best results using this method, climb to an altitude of at least 3 km (1.86 mi), out of SPAAG range, and a higher altitude then most aircraft spawn in. The intro of more current vehicles is leading to less than stellar knee jerk decision making by Gaijin. BUT. Sometimes the missile fails to track the target even when you get a lock, but I think you can't see that from cockpit view (the missile reticle wobbles every time you have a bad lock). Weapons selector mode is disabled, all four Sidewinder missiles must be fired before Skyflash missiles can be fired. 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." Once we know T, we candetermine the distance of the aircraft from the target at the moment of launch: Where D = the distance of the aircraft from the target at the moment of launch. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. https://wiki.warthunder.com/index.php?title=Weapons_selector&oldid=154106. 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. In fact, you can go as far as being able to hit certain locations on your target. Cookie Notice 20112023 Gaijin Games Kft. 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. It's way too overpowered and easy to use. Weapons selector mode is enabled, with 540 lb bombs selected. 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. Thanks guys. I'll give it a go tomorrow, see if it works for me. 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. PhlyDaily made avideo showcasinghow deadly this TV-guidance method is: One other attack strategy with using this missile system would be to launch it from the ground. Fires the selected primary weapon, regardless of what type it is (only works while weapons selector mode is enabled). And here's the thing: As mentioned before, the missile has a rocket motor that burns for about 3.5 seconds, and during that time period, the missile flies extremely straight, making it easy to use as an unguided rocket. Then press 'Exit Weapon Selection' and fire what ever I selected. (default key: space). Required fields are marked *. 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. Thus, I'd recommend that you learn the standard operational method. This is a subreddit for War Thunder, a cross platform vehicular combat MMO developed by Gaijin Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. As for guiding the missile from a long distance, granted, it is difficult, but not impossible. Cycles through your secondary weapons (and enables weapons selector mode). If yes, which view? 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. Thus, the equation for horizontal distance until the rocket motor burns out is as follows: Where DHis the horizontal distance that the missile travels over the time period and AAvgis the average acceleration of the rocket over that time period. Privacy Policy. Even if you miss, DON'T try to fire another one off in the same attack run, because you risk exposing yourself to enemy fire. As soon as the missile impacts, pull off immediately. In the game this is represented by two grey circles - the inner being the seeker's head, and the outer being the limit of its gimbal. It's only much harder since you don't get a visual representation of the seeker at work. Locking may be a bit more difficult. Each type of weapon can have its own key bind. When it does get disabled eventually, there will be those that say that the missiles are useless. 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. Just how you just said it. 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. 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. The Skyflashes can be fired by pressing the "Fire secondary weapon" key. Though if you have a set up which will allow guns to override weapons select, that would be fantastic. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. I recommend you only fire when your target is slow, travelling fairly straight, not turning as hard as it can (though if it's doing this vertically it will bleed energy and that's a great time to fire) and when your seeker isn't on the edges of its gimbal track, as it will easily lose guidance while you're still finding a lock. Often an additional targeting pod is needed for this, which will take up one pylon. We've learnt about the 4 different types - how they work, how to fire them, and how to best use each of them. Yes annoying but workable, e.g. With the weapons selector active, bombs cannot be dropped independently of the missiles, and must be selected in order to be dropped. Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. You'll need to assign key bindings for both. 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. The HVAR rockets are selected and can be fired by pressing the "Fire secondary weapon" key. SARH missiles are great for long-distance engagements of an enemy well out of the range of their more agile dogfight missiles, where depending on your piloting skill and aircraft performance, maybe an area you want to avoid. Yes, that's a way of doing it, but there's still the option . It's important to note that if you turn too hard, the missile can lose track of your radar beam and will be wasted. If you don't get a lock within 10 seconds (Sidewinder) or 15 seconds (R-60/R-60M) you have to start over. Once set up, it allows the player to cycle through their primary and secondary weapons, and fire them using the same bound key. The link for the AGM vs. tank test mission doesn't work. As a long time fan/player of War Thunder with quite ALOT of games played I am really saddened by Gaijin's decision making for this years OP SUMMER. I've re-assigned by "fire air-to-air missile" key and it still doesn't fire. You need to be at an angle where the missile can very easily see the enemies' engine(s). This page was last edited on 15 March 2023, at 18:53. These missiles have a camera in the nose that transmits a greyscale image to the pilot, allowing them to select and lock onto a high contrast static or moving target. Here is what I am doing step by step: What is wrong? 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. 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. Marathon. Powered by Invision Community. This way, whatever your mode and whatever you select, an instinctive press of the trigger will at least firesomething. During the first stage of the flight, the missile has to either rely on inertial guidance, act like a SARH missile, or be course-corrected by Datalink from the aircraft. Go to the dollar store and buy a can of computer cleaner and spray the shit out of your console. I guess this represents seeker cooling time, but don't quote me on that. To use this method, start by approaching the battle zone at an altitude of about 2 km (1.24 mi/6562 ft). Do keep in mind that you have to get pretty close to get a proper lock. But here's the thing: this also happens in like a super straight line when I don't pull any G's!! Add it back if they ever go more modern to the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II literally a waist of a missile or would they prefer unguided missiles in that era. Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). Note: This is ONLY to be used to report spam, advertising, and problematic (harassment, fighting, or rude) posts. There is no tracking camera or "TV-view" for the tracking of the rocket. 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. Remember, while controlling the Bullpups is hard, they still have exceptional trajectory and payload. With the exception of self-guiding missiles, all helicopter-launched air-to-ground missiles are guided by the cursor (much like aircraft SACLOS missiles). 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. 1. 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?). Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Weapons selector mode is enabled, only the cannons are being fired by the "Fire primary weapon" key. Operational Method 1: Standard Guidance. (Time stamp was around 7:07, but apparently it doesn't show in the link I copied for some reason). 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. 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). On ps4 it's a combo (l2 & r1, I think), si may be it's a combo on xbox? Once you're at the optimal launch position, launch the missile and, before guiding it, move your aircraft either slightly above or to the side of the smoke trail so that you can actually see the missile. The missile would not fire in gunners view, I filed a bug report about it. In this guide, you'll find everything you need to know about air-to-air missiles in War Thunder. 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. Television guided missiles are also unable to be used at night and in other low visibility conditions such as adverse weather. default key is F to stabilize the camera. 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. Where T = the time until your aircraft is within radar range and X = the speed of your aircraft, in kph. By default air to air is Alt+X to activate the missiles and Alt+Space to fire them once locked. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. 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. Come on, get serious, why would there be a special lock on circle in gunners view just for the sidewinder as a bug??? 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. After pressing "Fire air-to-air missile", 1-3 circles will display on your screen. IR missiles work by a seeker's head in the missile nose detecting IR radiation emitting from an aircraft, which it then locks onto and fires. 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. ok but this must be a bug so when I first set it up, I could use the 'switch secondary weapon' key to change from Aim9 to Aim7. and our For more information, please see our I don't see anything like that in gunner view. It depends on how fast your aircraft is moving. albeit IS-7 could do 8.3.. 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. Make sure your within about 3 km otherwise it locks on but wont fire. These missiles were eventually largely phased out in favour of ARH or active radar homing missiles, which are still widely used today along with all-aspect IR missiles. Air-to-ground missiles (AGMs) were added to the game in Update 1.79 "Project X" with the AGM-12B Bullpup. Then again, my key binds are all a mess, because we keep on having to add new things every patch. The idea is to. If there is more than one secondary weapon of the same type (e.g. If your marker is not inside that inner box the missile will not launch. By 1. Mark my words, the TV-guidancefeature is going to be disabledsome point. Step 1: Find a target. 1. Some planes and AGMs however have IR or thermal imaging and can be used at night and have better targeting quality. I go over control key binds, how to use the radar, the missiles, and some tactics that can be used in games. sniperNZSAS, September 3, 2020 in General Discussion. Launch the missile, then quickly press and hold "U." I recommend you mess around with the controls to make it easier to control them: Some of the earliest AAMs post-WWII used to require manual aiming from the pilot to guide the missile into the target. Sparrows also seem to be rather hit and miss (pardon the pun). 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. Its RB. What the hell. You need to assign a button not only to "Select Secondary Weapon" but also "Fire Secondary Weapon" as when you're in Weapon Selection Mode, it overrides your normal fire button and looks instead for what button you assigned to "Fire Secondary Weapon". Earlier missiles often had a "caged seeker" - where the IR-detecting electronics are mounted directly forwards and have a fixed cone of detection. This new system really doesn't adhere to the KISS principle. If you'd like to acquire this jet, I'm pretty sure that you can find one for sale onthe WarThunder Market. All you need to do then is just keep the missile on the enemy tank until it hits. no, you really don't BUUUUUUUUUT if people don't Gaijin will prolly decide its cuz they are under powered and buff the out of them. The 20 mm cannon pod is the Phantom FGR.2's only primary weapon, so it is selected and marked with an ">", it can be fired by pressing the "Fire primary weapon" key. I've been practicing on bots with this setup, well almost. However, unless things are different in actual battles I did manage to use missiles on Test Flight in SB difficulty. Once you have a lock, press this again and the missile will fire. Essentially, you are "guiding the missile in" by showing it the target locked on radar. They tell you the following: Guidance: How the missile tracks its target, Aspect: What direction it can track a target from.
