Hello. i have a problem with these missiles. im playing sim enduring confrontation and i just got F4 E phantom recently with these missiles. i begin to learn how to use them in test flight, but i didnt expect that i will not be able to aim it on the target. im trying everythink possible, looking for informations, videos etc and i cannot figure out what im doing wrong.
Im going slow, switch on SAS stabilisation, point target and then when i switch to the TV camera seeker it shakes and moves as hell which makes it impossible to lock on target. sight stabilisation hot key doesnt work. Im able to find and center these ground targets pretty well on the camera reticle, but it shakes and moves so hard that when i click on target lock there is a little delay and then it always locks into the ground somewhere nearby. please help, do you have any ideas what am i doing wrong?
i made some further testing in test flight with clear sky and it seems, that i have correct key bindings, because i tryed it on the ship and i was able to lock the ship without problem, but whenever i try to lock on somethink like tank it wont lock at all. it just shaking around like mad and sometimes it locks itself just on the ground nearby. im trying all distances even different altitudes and nothink makes it to lock on the tank or spaa
It’s not you, it’s a bug: all TV or IIR guided weapons and targeting pods atm do not point straight forward in Sim, but to a random point: TV Seeker alignment in Sim // Gaijin.net // Issues
There is a workaround: Marke the point where you want the Seeker to aim (e.g. vie HUD, or by marking the spot on the map), then you can “fine adjust” the seeker and lock in the seeker view…
ah thank you very much. i understand now. im new to these features, because i just open my first jet aircraft with it and i didnt know that this is already known problem.
Yes, see also section 6.3 here: Use of CCRP in Sim battles (Sim EC) | War Thunder Wiki
The whole article may be of interest for someone just starting out with attackers in Sim and how to use CCRP mode - some aspects of which as target marking, also being relevant for the use of guided weapons… ;-)
