Gunjob said something along the lines of not knowing what exactly the “fire and forget” means so they can’t implement it solely based on that
If it is just vague wording without any proof or evidence of what it is then nothing can be done yes.
Well, in a LOSBR missile case it is the FCS does guiding for you. That is why it is almost f&f, the laser has to be kept on the target
Does it specify that?
Sadly, no
and well
Almost f&f is due to launcher(sight) having to be in los of the target, as it is BR
I’m networking with the ukrainians about this in TG but i still don’t know wether they can be used as an “expert opinion” or not and wether their footage is acceptable…

Well, if you have a footage of gunner just shooting, then letting the controls go and FCS doing everything else, that is what we need. As if it can be used is a different story
You would need the original FOIA for that doc. Or the person who purchased the vehicle as surplus from the MOD.
Previous releases don’t guarantee future copies will be released.
That doesn’t invalid the older release. Just each FOIA is evaluated at the point of request and policy shifts can lead to a situation where the doc is released and the next day they arent releasing new copies.
So, should i make the report with what we have , hoping for the best?
Regarding what sorry?
Stormer f&f
It’s not strictly F&F, not in the ingame sense. As it still needs continuous guidance from the launching vehicle. It is highly automated. But not properly F&F, you cannot just yeet the missile and leave.
Yes, but it should do things like leading for the player. There should be a way to work around it, maybe using the Pantsir/Tor leading system with some tweaks
It already does in game. It isn’t using SALCOS for guidance, it’s LOSBR.
It doesn’t lead very aggressively as I believe when it used to it was kinda hard to hit straight on shots as it kept trying to lead.
You’re after a pre-launch offset for the launcher to account for the boost stage I’m guessing?
That and it correcting for the for example target speed when going perpendicular to you. And if that is impossible just a stupid marker like in gun spaas would be cool.
System knows where to lead the missile if the target is perpendicular to maximise the hit%.
Tracking could also be tweaked. 0 imput from me after locking and putting it on the center

At close range its even worse

And all that is against slower targets. at the Stormer BR things are much faster

Pretty sure the minimum engagement zone for starstreaks is still way too large.
It’s amazing how they can have this missile not modelled properly for years, with sporadic periods of months where it is literally unusable, but when someone provides a source that the G-overload is too high they correct that within weeks.

1.5km is a lucky hit at best anything less and the missiles just say nope… we’re going over here XD that’s if you can get a lock at all, wtf was happening here? broken - Album on Imgur
