Its tuned to the doppler shift frequency
Idk lmao I was making a meme more than anything
But in theory if it is tuned to the B-17 engines then nothing but B-17 engines should set it off. Concessions could be made though I guess

Is this even modeled in this game?:
You mean every single aircraft that uses the ¿¿¿(Pratt & Whitney R-1690)??? should set it off…

which gives us:
as you can see… its a pretty big list

I mean yes but how many of those are realistically going to be fighting something with an X-4
Idk. Lets see how many aircraft can carry the X-4
Off the top of my head it was an Fw 190 A-5 (I think), the Me 262, and like maybe one more that I can’t remember
But also the whole “just B-17 engines” thing is a meme I have little to no doubt they’re just going to model it as radio proxy similar to the AA.12
I think they’re was a ju-88 too
As for the mechanism…
Who knows?

Yeah add it right now,
It’s pointless enough as it is trying to use the R4M, Wurfgranate 21cm rockets and terrible velocity 30mm Mk 108s against enemies the Me 262 was never even supposed to face IRL like faster F-84s all with air spawn, an extremely maneuverable 1960s Swedish trainer jet with radio-guided fuse AGMs and 30mm gunpods with 1400 RPM or a freaking F-86 Sabre or MiG-15 for that matter…

i dont think its that fine tuned any engine will set it off it will probably vary at ranges that it gets set off as some engines are louder than others
would be nice on me262 C models hit the B29 before he even knows

it will be better when its a MCLOS missile cause it wont have short lock range due to props with small heat sigs perfect for bomber hunting
No, it has to be tuned fairly strictly, if it would fuse on any engine the plane carrying it would get exploded.
They should limit this thing to exclusively proximity fuse on R-1820 variants. It’s only fair and more accurate for it to be that way.
FAIR ??? hahahah good joke when have german props ever been treated fairly
plus they couldnt have fine tuned it that way as thats not how they work there ACOUSTIC which means sound so its a decible meter basically if it reaches certain DB boom missile blows up its not based of a single enigine it can hit a lancaster just as easily as a B17 it has also a back up IMPACT FUZE if a engine makes between 80-200 HZ it will hit it which is most engines it can hit **any plane as long as it is close enough to set of the sound fuze **
example
Fw190 fires missile at spit fire the spit fire doesnt as much noise as a 4 engine bomber at a distance meaning the missile has to be closer to arm
and for not blowing up of the rails it has a fuze arming delay
why its better than aim-9b lol
its just place holder for testing its gonna be changed soon
