Try IR missile ;)
lol, I guess it just will have the seeker slave towards it but won’t get tone. Maybe if the target is burning.

The real issue you are going to run into is that all these A2A missiles are proxy fuzed, which means they will explode well above the ground, and i dont think overpressure is quite that broken enough to allow them to kill most tanks.

Mostly shrapnel that is supposed to do the damage. Kinda think the second one may have been triggered by proxy fuze but no dmg…
I’ve had IR missiles hit runways in sim, or bases in rb, they do a little bit base damage actually.
In Vietnam, if the stories are true, they fired IR Falcons at campfires on the ho chi minh trail. Apparently they slaved it to the IRST. I’m sure you know those didn’t have proxy fuzes.
Yeah, they’ll be real fun if we ever get them in game, maybe even worse than the Matra 511’s

People always bad mouth them but when the USAF went from AIM-4’s to AIM-9’s they went from like 8% hitrate to 13%. So not as bad as people like to think.
Combine that with the fact that the F-4 didn’t have the proper fire control system and half would fall off the rail without even igniting gives me hope they’ll do well in sim at the brackets where there aren’t many RWR’s.
