found a video of an actual marineflieger launching an actual kormoran. as we can see, the flight pattern in war thunder bears little resemblance if any to the actual missile. the missile flies way too high ( as seen in the video is actually practically skims the surface of the water) and arcs down reducing accuracy while the real missile keeps level with its target.

That would explain a lot as to why the kormoran performs so poorly in war thunder.
I look forward to when Gaijin corrects this issue. Thank you in advance.

This thing is the biggest joke in wt. They modeled it as a phoenix and i bet it suffers from multipathing as well which is why its so inaccurate against actual ships. They promised to fix it in a major update and then never did. 🤣

and people like me will keep trying to get them to until they keep their promise.
I think these missiles are in the center of the tracking ship model. But unfortunately for most ships the center of the model is in the air. The missile will fall into the water through this position.

so all they need to do to make them more accurate is lower the point of tracking?
Tbh they could do what they did in air SB. Remove multi path so this missile can be used again. And the explosive mass?

I am starting to wonder if i’m more likely to get a foxgirl girlfriend IRL than a fix for the Kormorans, but hey. (obviously this is a joke)

Thats not it. The reason why it misses is because of how auto-targetting works in-game against ships
This is how they work currently
How you`d think it would work
it isnt just a Kormoran issue.

It would be good to fix the bugs and aim problem. OR just add the ground attack capabilities (the real kormoran has an option for that)

allegedly they sorta did but set it so it’s basically useless. particularly against the Pantsir.
I was really hoping that with the mass addition of ARH missiles that they would do a pass on the AS34 but somehow this things sucks more than previously.

Nov 2024 and this missile is still screwed by whatever plagues it. I wish someone on the team would fix this since sim AB has so many denmark rotations I’d like to at least use it.

Thought some ppl might be interested in this, but this is allegedly the Kormorans warhead:
The fact its modelled as simple HE is one of the main reasons it hits like a wet noodle (even if it was hitting where its supposed to, which its not). It should be putting multiple significant holes through the ship it explodes inside of, not just be a dinky regular HE warhead…
