It will help 100%. Cookie Notice Press it only once or else you'll turn the thing off with the second press. As for guiding the missile from a long distance, granted, it is difficult, but not impossible. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. First, we need to know how much total time elapsed between missile launch and missile impact, so we'll set up the equation as follows: Where Va= velocity of the aircraft in m/s, T = elapsed time, and Vm= the velocity of the missile. Attack drones feature a similar view. Your email address will not be published. Unlike later missiles, they can't home in on something like the heat of the friction on the front of an aircraft. It will appear as a only a small black dot, but be sure to watch for it. 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. But here's the thing: this also happens in like a super straight line when I don't pull any G's!! Archived post. After pressing "Fire air-to-air missile", 1-3 circles will display on your screen. Since you're in cockpit view you don't get to see the reticle, but it's smaller than the reflector sight/HUD on the cockpit. 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. 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. 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. Are you sure it's a bug? 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. SARH missiles were first introduced in the 1960s and were the next leap in air combat, establishing BVR (beyond visual range) engagements as the future and BVRAAMs as the main weapon. Press the "weapon lock" button. Powered by Invision Community, [Tutorial] How to use the AGM-12B Bullpup, Math, History, WarThunder, Vehicular Combat, Civil Discussions, U.S. Armed Forces, On the Tropic of C a N c E r a legitimate location. Because your radar is pointing forwards, you essentially guide the missile by pointing your aircraft directly at the target. I believe that this user mission is still available; in order to download it, follow the steps in the spoilerbelow: Step 2: Download the AGM vs Tu-4 user mission. The weapon quantity is listed as "8/4": the first number indicates that there are eight air-to-air missiles currently fitted to the aircraft, of which four are Skyflashes (the other four being AIM-9Gs). You're going to be looking for the black silhouette of an enemy tank to appear. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. How do I use AIR TO AIR and AIR TO GROUND missiles? Weapons selector mode is enabled, all guns are being fired by the "Fire primary weapon" key. 2.5 km (1.55 mi): The maximum distance that a radar SPAAG can acquire a lead indicator on an aircraft, 4 km (2.48mi): The maximum effective shooting range of an SPAAG, 7-8 km (4.35-4.97 mi): The maximum range of the Bullpup missile, 8.25 km (5.13 mi): The maximum distance that an aircraft can spot the silhouette of an enemy tank. Powered by Invision Community. Tried it out, and it works. There are 2 main types of IR missiles: Rear-aspect - These are more basic IR AAMs that use a passively-cooled seeker head to detect and track an aircraft's heat. Exits weapon selector mode and restores standard key binds to operation. 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. Go to Controls -> Aircraft -> Weaponry, and scroll down to yaw/pitch axis for aim weapons (shown below). 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. The first of this type of weapon were used in the Vietnam War. 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'll make sure to do that next time I log in. The seeker's head detects the emitted radar waves bouncing off the target and follows the detection to track the target. To prepare another shot you have to do it all over again. Just look at my bug report (documented bug reports), there is a video which shows exactly what I am doing. JFG80, December 18, 2018 in Helicopters Academy. Go to Controls -> Aircraft -> Weaponry, and scroll down to yaw/pitch axis for aimweapons (shown below). Update dropped today that is supposed to disable the weapon camera view for the Bullpup. Weapons selector mode is enabled, with 540 lb bombs selected. It does not stay with my selection. 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. 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. 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. The missile would not fire in gunners view, I filed a bug report about it. When the weapons selector is activated a number of things will happen.

I've re-assigned by "fire air-to-air missile" key and it still doesn't fire. Might help when you can't use gunner view of whatever reason (dead gunner, for example). However, unless things are different in actual battles I did manage to use missiles on Test Flight in SB difficulty. Without the weapons selector the player must fire all their Sidewinders before they can fire their Skyflashes, however the bombs and rockets may be dropped at any time using their separate control. 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. Finally, bind the "Exit selected weapon mode" control, this will restore the weapon controls mode to the standard mode. 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. Or also maybe redo the cockpit as only 1 craft can pack them to have a small TV screen in the cockpit so it works then cut the range and make it so the screen doesnt tell you friend from foe players will then be able to guide it to targets but its a 50-50 on if its the enemy or friendly would be a good compromise players would learn from a cheap image and make accurate decisions like in a REAL WORLD CONFLICT. Then again, my key binds are all a mess, because we keep on having to add new things every patch. The weapons selector, introduced in Update "Raining Fire", allows the player to select which of an aircraft's primary and secondary weapons should be used. You're wasting your time otherwise. RogueStarflyer, September 3, 2018 in Air Force Academy. 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. and our You need to be at an angle where the missile can very easily see the enemies' engine(s). This is particularly useful for aircraft with multiple types of air-to-air missiles, as different missiles have very different uses, and without the weapons selector you cannot chose which order to fire the missiles in. To first understand how AAMs really work in War Thunder, let's take a look at their stat cards in-game. Just keep the target in the smaller inner circle, once you have a lock, change to normal cockpit view and fire. I can here some strange noise like beep beep and I push the lock on button but nothing locks on??? Just pull off and set up another attack run. At that point, start counting off the seconds inyour head. Guiding the missile from a distance is almost impossible. Mark my words, the TV-guidancefeature is going to be disabledsome point. These are the key binds you are used to using for your various primary and secondary weapons. Remember, you're aircraft will be mostly traveling in a straight line while you're guiding the missile, making you easy food. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. All this makes targeting and guidance much easier and even allows for moderate changes of aircraft movement at the same time. I hope Gaijin considers this in their decision making in the future. There is no little white text at the bottom when firing it! All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. This view gets activated when you push the assigned weapon lock on button, and you can only see it in gunner's view! All rights reserved. Now, this method will most likely get nerfed at some point, because it's unbalanced and completely unfair, but while it's still working, I'll explain it. I've been practicing on bots with this setup, well almost. The user interface with the weapons selector enabled can be seen to the right. 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. Unfortunately, this is only true to an extent: ARH mode is only available when the missile is coming close to the target, as the range of the built-in radar is limited by its size, which needs to fit inside the compact missile. If your marker is not inside that inner box the missile will not launch. This new system really doesn't adhere to the KISS principle. You'll need to assign key bindings for both. Press this control once to spool it up. I tried this in SB and I can tell you already that reality is quite different from your description! 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. Maximum speed: Top speed of the missile during flight. In War Thunder, television-guided missiles refer to a class of missile guided by "optical contrast seekers". IR missiles are the main WVRAAM used since the onset of missile technology in the early 1950s. "3/2" means that of a total of three bombs, two are of the selected type (1,000 lb AN-M65A1). 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. The rest of the time, it says "load factor too high" and doesn't fire!! Event FJ-4B Fury. Thanks guys. 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. 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. I am doing exactly as described in the video but the missile wouldn't fire. Earlier missiles often had a "caged seeker" - where the IR-detecting electronics are mounted directly forwards and have a fixed cone of detection. What do I need to do? 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. 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. How is one supposed to use the new AIM-9 missiles exactly? that's it? It's obviously RB. everythingwarthunder.com, All rights reserved. Thanks for the info. Your email address will not be published. After this, bind the "Switch primary weapons" and "Switch secondary weapons" controls. That is using Southernbear's setup with the exception of MGs and cannons set to mouse 1 and 2 respectively. Powered by Invision Community, Aviation, Russian aircraft (MiGs) and history. 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. If your airfield is extremely close to the battle zone, then you can just land on your airfield and TV-guide the missiles over to the battle zone, and kill a target. All trademarks, logos and brand names are the property of their respective owners. Originally posted by Illusionyary: By default air to air is Alt+X to activate the missiles and Alt+Space to fire them once locked. A target must be in this circle to get a lock. One more thing: I highly recommend that you guys check out these two videos below showcasing the system in the user mission. Look at your Missile Stats. In this guide, you'll find everything you need to know about air-to-air missiles in War Thunder. - Sketching 1.) At first, it's spooling up in the "PWR" (powering) mode and the smaller circle will blink slowly. What has changed? "3/1" means that of a total of three bombs, one is of the selected type (500 lb AN-M64A1). Only the ATGM cursor. 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. Do I have to switch to another view? Now, onto some general specifications for this missile system: @Iron_physikdid some data mining and found out some more info for y'all. https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/867. The other reason why you need to count off in your head is because you need to know when to launch the missile. 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. Then press 'Exit Weapon Selection' and fire what ever I selected. Scan this QR code to download the app now. The idea is to. 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. 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. and our The final step is to determine how long it takes from the moment the aircraft enters the missile launch zone to the launch point, a simple calculation: Where TL= the elapsed time in seconds from the moment that the aircraft enters the missile launch zone to the moment the missile should ideally be launched. 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. Anything more and the controls are too twitchy. 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. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. 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. 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. Why would you get a lock in one view and fire in a different view???

It is probably going to be the safest method of use, and the most rewarding, but also the hardest. As soon as the missile impacts, pull off immediately. It's not the same command like for ATGM's! Cookie Notice In fact, you can go as far as being able to hit certain locations on your target. 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. Just get a wired mouse and keyboard, it's what I use. The centreline 500 lb bomb is selected. Here is what i do when i launch the Orion. They were bad at tracking through ground clutter, but I'm pretty sure that many of their characteristics have been artificially nerfed, especially their speed. I'll give it a go tomorrow, see if it works for me. When launched from an aircraft, the SACLOS guided missile will fly towards the direction in which the aircraft's nose is pointing. 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. 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. Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). I am test flying the SU and I can't change the red box. Don't have the jet, but still really want to try out the missile system? Read this section carefully, improperly setting up the weapons selector can lead to the inability to use any weapons. 1. chillobreeki 2 yr. ago. Also, you'll want to disable relative control for both of these options to give yourself the most control over the missile. 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. 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. I try to fire Air to Air missile but it won't fire??? 20112023 Gaijin Games Kft. The link for the AGM vs. tank test mission doesn't work. Valve Corporation. https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/366038188371661779. This way, whatever your mode and whatever you select, an instinctive press of the trigger will at least firesomething. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. While they generally have lower maximum overload than IR missiles, SARH missiles are not to be underestimated as you often don't see them coming from 10-30km+. You know how you can track bombs and rockets using the key "U" by default? thank you so much. The bombs can now be dropped. Advanced laser guided missiles can operate even when the laser illumination is stopped and will continue its flight path on inertial guidance. IR missiles are great for short-range knife fights where you're manoeuvring to get in shot of the enemy. Since the missile reaches it's top speed of 600 m/s after engine burnout, we can calculate the distance at which the missile flies relatively straight with little drop. Before I start to talk about actually using the weapons system, there are fournumbers that you all need to remember. As of writing, this missile is currently the only jet-based air to ground guided missile in the game, but if future missiles are added with the same type of guidance system (which will most likely happen), you can consider the information I'm about to share relatively universal. The "Switch secondary weapons" key can be pressed to activate the weapons selector and switch between launching the different suspended armaments. This is the control which will fire your selected secondary weapon. Your video looks like AB and I play sim only. BTW this is a Heli-thread, not fighter jets Its not AB. It's only much harder since you don't get a visual representation of the seeker at work. Weapons selector mode is enabled, with AIM-9G Sidewinders selected. Take those both into 8.3 and 9.0 respectively and tell me what you think. I don't even think the weapon select on/off is even necessary, just the regular guns buttons and a drop/fire ordnance button and another to toggle what you are dropping/firing. On ps4 it's a combo (l2 & r1, I think), si may be it's a combo on xbox? I found a workaround anyway, I lock on in gunner's view and fire in normal view. The trick is setting the same key to both "fire guns" and "fire primary weapon". Marathon. They'll give you a general idea and grasp behind each of the methods I'm going to talk about: This method of use will most likely be the standard method to use the missile once the method 2 is disabled (which will happenmark my words). 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). All you need to do then is just keep the missile on the enemy tank until it hits. All rights reserved. SARH missiles work by your aircraft locking onto the target with its own radar. These early missiles have a radar sensor in the rear of the missile that detects the radar beam of your aircraft. 4. The missile will guide itself towards the target, leaving the pilot free to manoeuvre the aircraft and evade any anti-air defences. For more information, please see our BUT. Your video looks like AB and I play sim only. 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. It might take a bit of practice, but once you have it mastered, you're good to go! This method allows you to have better visibility on your target and the whole battlefield in general as you guide the missile in. A direct hit will usually knock out any vehicle. Where you press F is where the camera will automatically point when you get out of camera view and get back at it again. I've found myself at the wrong end of a couple R-60s and they only fired when I was around 1km from them.
