if you have bombs on Space Bar, one could assign "Fire Secondary Weapon" also to Space Bar, because as said, whatever weapon firing it normally is assigned to will be overridden while in Weapon Selection Mode. If you'd like to acquire this jet, I'm pretty sure that you can find one for sale onthe WarThunder Market.

First-generation jets such as the F-86 Sabre and MiG-17 were soon equipped with very primitive missiles, though development quickly advanced into this new niche of air combat and missiles diversified into many distinct types during the Cold War as the aircraft alongside them advanced, such as the F-4 Phantom II or MiG-23. all in all the implementation is quite well done and I could not find any contradiction with historic data I could find for it. With the weapons selector active, bombs cannot be dropped independently of the missiles, and must be selected in order to be dropped. Note that in-game these guidance systems might work differently than their respective real counterparts or the missiles might use a different guidance system than in reality. I get the whole OP thing, remembering back to when the IS3 was released and literally quite impossible to pen effectively from the front and the havoc that ensued with the player base. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. It's only much harder since you don't get a visual representation of the seeker at work. Espaol - Latinoamrica (Spanish - Latin America). The new system is really janky but it seems this system is making it so you can switch not only between missiles but also types of guns, rockets and bombs which is why its not just 1 button keybind. You can just use them like a Tiny Tim. Information and UI is current as of the \"Danger Zone\" update in June 2022 which added the F-14 and Active Radar missiles.==============================I'm all over the place! A target must be in this circle to get a lock. Its RB. So maybe you tried to fire ATGM's? So, this is what I don't understand, I make sure I go in a super straight line, make sure I don't move while trying to fire the damn missile, and I literally press fire 20 times and many times this is not enough and the missile is not fired!! This can also often be set to centre automatically on a designated point on the ground (the "sight stabilization" keybind), which accounts for the relative motion of the helicopter and maintains the image in the gunner view, thus allowing for smooth guidance of the missile even when the helicopter is performing extreme manoeuvres. You are better off to change to gunners view for a quick lock-on, there you see circles indicating that you activated the lock-on sequence. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. This is simply not true. Because they are only passively cooled, they are not very sensitive and so need a considerable heat source to lock onto, and the hottest part of an aircraft is the engine exhaust. These missiles have a camera in the nose that transmits a greyscale image to the pilot, allowing them to select and lock onto a high contrast static or moving target. The wing-mounted 1,000 lb bombs are selected. Is there a step by stepmanual how to exactly lock on and fire? In the example below, the Phantom FGR.2 is carrying four Skyflashes, four AIM-9G Sidewinders, two 1,000 lb bombs, three 540 lb bombs, and SNEB rockets. At first, it's spooling up in the "PWR" (powering) mode and the smaller circle will blink slowly.
