Yeah, the airframe was partially completed, but no where near airworthy.

me262 HG1 is a me262 with low drag thats all
Me P.1101 was pretty close to complete over 70% which means its allowed in technically cause it has one mostly built prototype
love people who cant read again it is tuned to piston engines its a microphone it will detonate as soon as sound goes to a certain soundwave pressure DB so aslong as its a 4 engine bomber it will have no problem blowing up the proxy will still work on fighters but it will have to be closer
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 **
make it easier for the german mains as the 20mms are not very good against bombers at distance
Doppler shift is neither tracking a specific sound made by a b-17 engine, or registering the absolute sound level. Have you people never heard an ambulance or firetruck go by? Do you remember how the siren made a higher pitch noise when it was a approaching, but then changed to a lower pitch when it got past?
THAT’S what the acoustic sensor in the X4 proximity fuse was capturing, the moment the most dominant sound changes in pitch. It’s probably not gonna be implemented since writing code to analise sound in real time is both a waste of time and a performance killer (instead of “if relative velocity to nearest airplane reaches zero = boom”), but at least now you should get how it was supposed to work, why it wouldn’t be specific to a b-17 engine (at best they would optimize the microphone for the dominant frequency), and why it has nothing to do with actually guiding the missile.

Why did they make an acoustic sensor when a proximity sensor would be better? hmm…
The germans tried all kinds of proximity fuses, the acoustic sensor was just one of them.
So the easiest and the most logical way is to model it like any other proximity fuse in the game. I wonder if it is known in what range would the fuse be triggered, i.e. 2 or 20 meters?
Maybe because they didn’t have the technology to power a small radar proximity fuze?
Or they would have put them on their heavy AA guns like the US did on their ships.
Yes, yes I know. Did you not see my images above? Plus, you missed the Ju 388:
The question was: Why no X-4 on the ingame 262 & 88? Is gaijin seriously going to restrict this weapon to a single aircraft (190 F-8)? Also, more crap:

That’s isn’t the standard of a built prototype. A paper airplane could have flown further than that.

The thing is that doppler shift for sound is already implemented in the game, it can piggyback off of existing systems. Even if the system is as simple as “play appropriate sound for whenever the client detects something passing by” that can be used as a flag to indicate to the missile that it should detonate.
My personal problem is that giving the missile a generic proximity fuse is ahistorical and without other limitations to the use of the weapon it will be unbalanced. The wire guided missile is unlikely to be subject to the limitations of wire guidance (such as hard turns snapping the wires) and as such will essentially be a free, easy bomber delete button. And at that point, the door to HE-VT warheads for allied weapons (HVAR and M8) and their very early guided A2A weapons is open and it’s only fair to let those also be implemented.
Youre in luck! In the new dev server, the fw 190 f8 hasnrecieved the x4 missiles

Is it possible to use these as AGM vs. ground targets? Whats TNT equiv?
Only against vehicles with no roof since historically it had an 8 meter proximity fuze

Do you mean per second? One per minute sounds very slow
Btr-zd cleaner
@Thodin its a sound based proxy fuze, so i doubt it should fuze on ground targets (tho it might on a closer range and depending on how gaijin models it.)
However with a 24kg TnTa warhead it should be fairly effective.
You quite underestimate the power of 24kg TNTeq. If something like LMUR can one-shot MBT on direct hit, I doubt weaker armored vehicles with obsolete composition of inner/outer layouts will survive as much as MBTs do (still we do not know how the fuse will work against ground targets)
Them Hellcats and open-top SPAAs will enjoy the thing even with proxy shot
