Yes, doesn’t seem like they do anything, but also doesn’t hurt. Nothing else to use them against anyway in GSB and AMX has 120 CMs and the Jaguar has 270.

it seems like the missiles are better as they are able to maneuver so strong that the 3point guidance does not lag behind at all. despite how strongly you lead, the normal roland missile cant do this. even with maximum lead during maneuvering it cant.
the irst does not have a good range in the Osa.
I dont think i ever felt that. Ofc there are multipel thing impacting the player sitde like ping etc, while the server one get the date where you will be in a second, and can lead correctly.
Do you have a clip of that happening ?
Even the slightest change in direction will throw off the missile as it won’t respond to user input.
So it’s destroying you from 20km out ?
just like the stormer hvm it gets countered by enemy plane/heli having a pair of functional eyes or ears or the ability to slightly maneuver and not flying straight

Range aside, my issue with IRST is that it doesn’t give me gun ranging estimates for the 30mm. I need to sort out an actual keybind for switching to IRST quickly, as I’ve been going into the menu and selecting it, lol.
this is true. in real life it does not even have irst tracker though.
the airfield rolands are able to pull through without using prelaunch lead, and the missile sticks to 3 point guidance at all times. even with a perfect lead during maneuvering from ai this should not be possible because the missile isnt maneuverable enough to pull that hard. earlier they actually had the tech tree roland model and they were trash despite ai lead
I don’t , but can probably easily get one the next time I play. Happened most matches. Anytime I tried to climb within 8-10km of the battlefield, i was shot at and rarely survived.
I have been killed by a Pantsir when flying the Gripen has to have been 15km away from the battlefield whilst I was in a dogfight Vs an F-16
I typically operate on a 15-20km death sphere if there is an S1 ping and it keeps me fairly safe. if I’m closer than that to the battlefield, I’m either ensuring I’m actively defending or flying laterally

I have a keybind and it comes in pretty handy.
When someone is in gun range I’ll use radar as well, otherwise my radar is off and have IRST set up.

Just checked, it does have a TV contrast tracker.

Okay, you convinced me. I found a free button on my keyboard

the Osa is only a radar missile not TV
it has a camera for viewing the target, the 9Sh38-2 TOV and while it is called the tracking camera, it does not optically lock a target, you track the target through the camera and manually move your sight on the target for engagement
It is supposed to track the target using “angular coordinates” So a centroid tracker.
Please do clip it next time as I’d like to see a plane getting killed by 2S6 from that far out.
As most people in here have stated, even drones that far out can get challenging.
I like that term lol.
Watch some YT clips, there are people dodging Pantsirs from 10km out while using Brimstones.
