Hi everyone, I need some advice on how to properly use helicopter artillery. I just unlocked the new Mi-28NM and equipped it with S-8 rockets, because in top tier battles I can’t really do anything without something decent.
If I understand the theory correctly: I select the S-8 rockets, aim my HUD circle at the crosshair, and when it’s centered, I fire.
The problem is that the rockets fly in the right direction, but they never actually hit the target, and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
If you’re struggling to use the S-8 rockets effectively, there’s an amazing YouTuber who explains this perfectly he has detailed guides on how to use rockets as artillery and make precise hits. Check out Loner1512 on YouTube; his tutorials are super clear and practical for War Thunder players:

He goes through the correct aiming methods, how to use the rocket trajectories properly, and how to compensate for distance and helicopter movement. Definitely worth watching if you want to improve your Mi-28NM gameplay.
