Description
You are familiar with Homing Launcher already (Unlike Javelin), so there is no need to say what it does.
Instructions Manual & Limitations
Although there are quite a lot of differences from vanilla homing launcher. Well, the custom model aside,
- Offers the most realistic flight and target tracking feature. Only thingy I couldn’t do was, missile still has direct-line homing to target, instead of a precalculated intercept point.
- Can not lock on to ground vehicles. This is Anti-Air missile and ground vehicles either don’t generate enough heat, or their heat signature blends with environment.
- Can near instantly lock on to any airborne aircraft, this is because Stinger’s seeker head can very easily distinguish negative UV light from sky.
- Has 2 stage propulsion. Once fired, the Launch Propulsion will activate to push missile out, after about half a second the Flight Propulsion will kick in and homing will be activated.
- Has increased range and speed (obviously) compared to homing launcher.
Efficiency Rates
- Missile’s tracking ability has been improved to realistic statistics. Although the aircraft can still evade the missile either with a sharp-well timed evasive maneuver or by deploying flares, the missile mostly wins.
- Not recommended to use against very close aircraft (such as a helicopter flying above your head).
- While engaging Rotary Blade aircraft, just aim towards and fire. While engaging at Jet Engine aircraft, you need to fire ahead of the target so the missile doesn’t have to catch up with the jet.
You can see the drone able to evade missile without flares in 3rd video, then gets hit right after despite flares.
Evasion Chances by flares : 70-80%
