You cut out the part that shows if it’s a point or a track lock. As stated above you also need to do it in a custom match, not the test range.
That’s not really what’s meant with LOAL, that doesn’t work without further, active input from the launch platform. LOAL weaponry acquires the target and guides itself in autonomously using active sensors (IIR, TV, radar).
not LOAL that is just laser guided
They will, just like how nerfed BOL is, I dont expect to see half of Brimstone implemented properly and bug reports using primary sources rejected for “reasons”
that’s what im doing rn, it can easily be seen as just point track
something something team killing something something over powered something something we dont think it can do that
a friend helped me with it
After talking with some other people, it seems this isn’t technically LOAL, technically it’s locking onto the ground, then a hotter source (the tank) is coming into the FoV of the seeker. So it’s technically LOBL.
its more like, the seeker is always on and when the hotter source comes into sight they acquire lock towards that hotter source so it is LOAL
This is what i said? it’s firing then locking onto a hotter target. It is still technically LOBL though, locking onto the ground is still technically locking onto something.
It’s not a noticeable difference in this use case, however it does matter in terms of max fire range, as it currently is its still limited by the maximum lock range of the seeker. IE, with this method you can’t fire at targets longer then you could lock anyways.
well now you left me thinking ty, ig im not sleeping tonight
Not really as you are asking the missile to go to a location. The missile is then selecting a target that is the definition of LOAL.
You are firing with a POINT lock, so you’re tracking the ground, not the vehicle.
well first of all that was me shooting at him but you dont see how the missile is tracking him when hes moving?
"I didnt shoot the guy, I pulled the trigger on the firearm, and the victim was between the muzzle of the gun and the unobstructed point of impact " 🤷♂️
For all intents and purposes, its LOAL. The missile is being fired at a point, and the seeker can lock onto a vehicle if spotted while on its way towards the initial point.
You could say the same with an ALARM or Meteor
man, if you want i can book you a flight to mexico so you can see right besides my pc what im doing, ur not happy with anything
you can see the missile lock and then fire if you pay attention to the video
Except for the use case i just mentioned of firing at targets farther away then the seeker can actually detect, which does actually matter for the maximum effective use case of these kind of IR guided munitions.
Now, there is a way gaijin could fix this so it is functionally LOAL, the ground and targets have individual max seeker ranges in game, while currently set to the same thing in game. If they were set to lock the ground from farther away then targets, then it would be much more similar of being able to be lobbed a long ways away, and not start tracking actual targets up close. But that’s not how it’s in game as of now, and would still have some other differences to proper LOAL.
sure and that’s why it kept tracking me when i was moving!
It was fired when it was pointing… BUT once the missile got closer it locked on to the SAM
