Basically, it would be good if the missiles weren't superelevated and if you could uncage the seeker. Right now it doesn't work against anything flying towards you or maneuvering in the slightest, and can't lock helicopters unless they are around 2-3km away. The York is just better. Also the MBT-70's round is, unfortunately, correct as it is now. However the meme still applies because XM885 is still missing like 40% of its penetration :)

Apparently the reason why the MIM-72C's are elevated like that is on the real system if the target is under 17 degrees it automatically elevates like that to loft the missile but will direct fire from above 17 degrees, however, gaijin couldnt get that system working so they just decided to make it always elevated

I think the reason why IR missiles track so bad in this game is that Gaijin is considering them tracking the hot nozzle of the engine, that's why they also have huge problem locking onto the helicopters at all, but irl there's also a giant cloud of hot air right behind it, not visible to the human eye, but still visible to the missile, and unlike the jet that can be easily obscured by the plane, the hot air around it is much more visible to a real missile which just isn't a thing in the game unfortunately.

the MI-24 kinda has the ability IRL to lock R-60 onto ground targets (atleast on the P) so yea why not implement that as a feature, since it would give these IR seeker based SPAAs some way to fight armor

This is so relatable to an old Planetside 2 player. The damn moment you pull AA of any kind, the sky magically clears in a nanosecond.

lmao the dcs frog foot audio gave me flashbacks

I love waiting at the back with an SPAA for planes to appear. I call it Chill Thunder.

The reticle is like that because irl you'd have to superelevate before actually firing the missile and this is the best way of kinda replicating that. At least that's how stingers work, so I'm assuming it's the same here

It'd be real neat to see spookston play the conqueror

I had a micromachine of this thing when I was little and I've gotta say, it looked a lot more impressive in miniature.

The rocket sees the heat signature of the jet, it is very hot, and this trail is easy to detect even from a great distance. Helicopters do not have a jet trail, but only exhaust gases, like a car, and the exhaust gases are much colder. Therefore, it is more difficult to target a helicopter than a plane.

those 4 crew members are scary to look at

Me when spookston locks onto the forbidden heat signature

helicopters sometimes have IRCM, which makes it to where you can only lock them around 3km with Stingers.
