It can’t be reverted cause documents are what caused the change to begin with.
You have to find documents to counter their own documents, which is unlikely cause at least with TOWs and Rolands, they are rather accurate.
The old SACLOS system was a very bare-bones, extremely hand-waved missile simulation. Had no place ingame when other missiles like IR ones had much more detailed modelling.
It was the last holdout mechanic from when ATGMs were first added, back when they didn’t even really have ranges.
The new one is a much better, detailed simulation, it just needs to be more finely tuned per missile.
And they’ve been tuning them regularly with the major updates.
for tows the changes were very inaccurate, I am unsure of there current state but as of ~2 months ago tow maneuverability and control was very much under preforming
RWR can detect their guidance signals and provide a launch warning even if the track does not produce any warning
The maneuverability of TOWs were fixed last year and are in-line with what they’re supposed to be. They even stopped dropping [when using gunner sights instead of barrel sights], and limited video evidence of maneuvering TOWs are in-line with War Thunder.
Best way to test TOWs is with helicopters cause you can better see their maneuverability.
they can absolutely be reverted, there’s lots of TOW firing tests on youtube to gloss over it and roland 3 missile performance documentation is currently available to the public, for example:
uhh they didnt fix it, I-TOW keeps doing that and its unresponsive until 1 second after launch (its the improved version meaning it FIXED MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS)
same missile, look how it goes into a straight line and its responsive enough.
an historical inaccurate “fix”, they dont act like this in real life even on earlier missile models (and even if they were historical then the improved version like roland 3 and 9m311-m1 already fixed that)
