Yes it does, take for example, the Javelin. The jav have to be fired upward on launch because it will hit the ground otherwise. This is the exact same thing; so therefore, by moving the missiles launch drop from hitting the object, to above the object, it won’t contact the object.
I sure have, I regularly play TOW weapons, and some other, and never have the issue, mostly because I’ve taught myself how to use it. (I.e. Pre aiming higher than the launch arc) This includes the PBv-302, Udes-33, and PBRVB-551. This is RB-56, and RB-55 respectively. (RB-55 is the TOW)
Simple fix, a lot of atgms shouldn’t even drop like, that.
As evident from a lot of videos IRL and can also be easily calculated by the launch velocity of gun launched stuff.
Tldr a lot of the launch drops are exaggerated in the game
It is something that I don’t know where the hell Gaijin got this from, since for example missiles like the Tow practically do not fall when launched, and in the ATGMs that do fall you can clearly see that the missile is slightly inclined upwards with respect to He looks at it to compensate for that fall.
They do; around a foot actually, but not as pronounced as it is in game, could be touched up a bit. However, when they are fired in real life, they are given a 6-12° launch angle, upwards…
Yeah, only missile I can think of is the Full-Barrel fired 9M119 on the T-72/90/64/80 tanks gun, because it has enough time to get to speed before exiting the barrel.
The 152 mm barrel was too short to pre-stabilize it I think, don’t remember tho. Nah, it can fire it, but it drops a little bit, like literally a tiny bit, it’s a Beam Rider, right?
The way it’s fired is different, because the electrical firing pin fires it, and it doesn’t leave the barrel until it’s already got the thrust it needs to continue flight.
The SS.11 fires it’s booster ON THE RAILS, so it has the propulsion force applied the entire time. So does the 9M14. So does the Konkurs.
The TOW has a slight drop because it uses a seperate booster to get it out of the tube before firing the primary rocket motor.
Also, the missile needs to orient itself to the sights because not every missle is on the same line of sight of the sights, and it can also take a moment for the guidance system to kick in and begin adjusting trajectory.
