Did we hear anything on this? I’m finding the Fireflash just isn’t really able to guided at all right now. Sometimes it moved a bit where you point your nose, others it does nothing and just loops around.

Nope, I was hoping to see it addressed in the most recent patch but nada. wondering if it’s an intentional “balancing” nerf? I was pretty easily able to pull 3-4 kills a game on avg using the fire flashes and guns pre-whatever they did.

No sorry, no updates and no acknowledgement from gaijin as of yet

Yep these missiles have been destroyed recently, I can’t get a single kill with them. I used to be fine with them.

Gaijin just dropped their shit there, making changes without any proof and at their discretion, disrespecting real data. If you want something accurate, you have to find five different official sources, and have a lot of time because they just won’t listen to you until people threaten them not to buy their products anymore.

I’m guessing based off the changelog this wasn’t addressed in the new update? I can’t log in myself and check now. I feel like at this point it might have been an intentional change

Nope, I was hoping it was fixed with dance of dragons but testing in the test flight mode shows they havent been fixed. Really curious if they just dont care or arent aware of the issues
I asked about it in the changelog thread yesterday and all I got from one of the community managers was that I should turn the radar off. I tried to get them to refer to this thread but that got buried.

I just sent a support ticket just to get SOME kind of response here. I LOVE the swift f7 for years with these missile. It wasn’t OP by any means with them, i rarely have been killed by one, but it was just a great quirk about the plane.

this is absolutely insulting to the players man. the F7 was a decent plane all in, now theres no reason to use it over the F1

Looks like we have our answer: Guys how do i use the search radar to guide the fireflashes instead of SACLOS - #6 by Gunjob (“It is only guided by SALCOS, the radar range finder in game isn’t used for guiding.” -technical moderator)
They must have changed this at some point without addressing it. This is unrealistic to both the fireflash and swift f.7, IRL the ranging radar was literally required to launch the missile, since it utilized the ranging beam from the radar to guide the missile (source):
Typical gaijin tho, it probably will never be addressed since it’s a low usage tech tree vehicle
