Guided bomb, not missile.
It’s the same as the PGM 500/2000 ingame, it is a rocket propelled bomb with guidance, i.e. a missile
Constructor itself call it more a bomb than a missile.
Specificaly, a bomb body with a guidage kit.
Still more a bomb than a missile.
The AJ 168 martel also works as a MITL missile, whilst in-game it basically functions as a TV missile, basically the WSO automatically guiding in that missile.
Well yeah, that is kind of the problem though, not having the MITL pretty much defeats the purpose of those weapons.
It’s more like the WSO not actually doing his job.
Hope they gonna rework/work on the MITL for when the Akeron MP gonna join the game :p
They can call it whatever they want, by definition it is a missile, as it is propelled by its own engine and it has a guidance system
I know this is way off topic but this just happened to me and I need to say it.

For the past day or two my PC has been crashing whenever I played War Thunder for more than 10 minutes. All the error codes were pointing to my GPU being the problem. Anyway I checked everything and nothing seemed out of place until I saw this:
My power supply started melting the cable to the GPU. It would have caused a fire and done some serious damage. For the love of god folks check your systems.
I was lucky and caught it in time but you might not be.
Please take a look and check it to make sure. It only takes around 5 minutes and it’s not hard to do.
Sorry for being off topic but since I found out by trying to troubleshoot War Thunder I thought it best to just say and get it off my mind. Keep yourselves safe guys.

Is there a specific reason why it was starting to melt it? just curious do you have a 4090?
I honestly have no idea. I’ve had this PSU for around 4 years so as far as PC components go it is getting on in age.
I have a 3080 and the power supply is the correct wattage for the whole system.
May I ask does it go on a gray screen and does a strange buzzing ?
No, it would play fine for a few minutes then my screen would go black and display no signal but the rest of the system would stay on.
I think it may have done some damage to my CPU cooler too as before I opened it up I was seeing CPU temps of 80 degrees just on the desktop and around 110 degrees when running War Thunder. My PC would switch off then as a safety measure from overheating.
I’m honestly just at a loss for how exactly this happened. It looks like it corroded and then started shorting between the wires, the cable and socket are completely melted together.

Yea I had the gray screen and a buzzing sound with my PC screaming at me earlier, I think whatever they done has needed more GPU power or something.
Check inside your PC first to see if there’s anything clearly physical.
Also check Event Viewer and look for Critical logs as those are usually crashes. Type Reliability into the Windows search bar aswell and look for Critical errors, that’s how I found out the crashes were from the GPU having issues. Sadly it couldn’t tell me it was melting at that point

Havn’t opened mine in a good year, must done the dust soon i think xD
But it’s well ventilated from the start, I have a glass section and there’s nothing disturbing inside.

Fans are deceptively good at hiding dust. You can’t see it when they are spinning and unless you can see in there when it’s powered off you can’t really tell how much dust is in there.

Just something to add to this I posted this on Reddit and someone said they have the same PSU model and have had it for nearly as long as I have had and it has also had this issue earlier this month. I don’t know if anyone else has had this issue or there’s just 2 unlucky people out here.
If you have a Cooler Master MWE 750W V2 PSU check it and make sure.
