Finally! A FUNCTIONAL Anti-Ship Missile - Alpha Strike Update

[@Lizardry90210]

When I saw "FUNCTIONAL", I thought snail finally fixed this bug of targeting to center of ships's model (between masts). This bug acknowledged by snail and they said that they not gonna fix it for now. Maybe only when naval stuff will get to those BRs. (In like 3-5 years) You can still go to gaijin's "issues" portal and vote for it, just to show that there are people who actually care for cold war naval stuff.

[@CmdrTyrael]

If you're reading this, please vote to fix!!

That's an overall guidance issue I'm trying to highlight. publish some evidence that it's actually stupid. I was hoping the sensor view would come with some refinements. But laser guided is still the best way

[@underscorecascadian]

Cold War and on is the way for naval. Ground and Air all have totally modern stuff but for some reason we just get battleships. If we can get the brs decompressed modern naval with short range missiles will be fun as heck

[@kkang2828]

But they can’t even get battleships to work. How do you expect them to make modern naval missile warfare work?

[@kkang2828]

Naval should be overhauled and polished within the current scope, and all the missing ships added, before trying to progress any further in terms of era. Not doing that will just create more mess and not actually fix much.

[@pavleh4602]

Ah if only we had modern ships to fight this aircraft at its proper br

[@ajmod73]

I think if they actually made naval grind less cancer, rebalanced the brs for bluewater and coastal, and added more modern ships naval would be actually fun. Ima start tweakin the more they just add random battleships from 1918 and not actually progress the timeline of naval ships at all unlike planes and tanks. Gaijin maybe just.. give the naval players 1 major update of their own to fix naval for god sakes 😭

[@kkang2828]

@@ajmod73 But there are still so many interesting and unique battleships and battlecruisers from WW1 era that are still missing. Those should absolutely be added ASAP before they get powercrept even more than they’ll be rn. Naval really does need a total overhaul, and not just new ships, to be truly fun and enticing, no doubt about that of course.

[@ajmod73]

​@@kkang2828 oh absolutely ww1 ships are cool af, just I think they are a bit out of place in the current br brackets. hopefully they will change planes brs in naval like they are gonna do for tanks (hopefully).

It would be nice if they would have made the martels more realistic. IRL they have a cruise altitude which they would climb to when you fire them from low alt which would minimize the seeker issue

Sad thing is I'm pretty sure you can't use these planes in naval since it doesn't go that high in BR

Yeah you're right. The best aircraft currently available are things like the Kikka, F-84 and the F3-D2 at 7.0

[@patriktoth6258]

In SB EC ships are a thing at almost every BR. Also its a one way trip if you want to use convectional stuff.

Now, only if the super entendard had its anti ship missile 😂😂

[@CmdrTyrael]

I agree

[@SomeOrdinaryJanitor]

It’s insane that they have aircraft with ASMs like this or the tornado, yet you can’t actually play them in regular matches because you can’t take them in naval with the BR structure

[@CmdrTyrael]

I agree. The only place you can fight ships in this way is SIM or very very rarely in ARB. The learning curve for sim means many players will never fire one in anger.

[@Wubb333]

nice video as always man

[@legendarywoIf]

I really wish these missiles got it's unique manual guidance style rather than guiding like a maverick for some reason

[@CmdrTyrael]

I've heard that it's due to Gaijin wanting to keep AA in GRB competitive. These sorts of weapons would greatly outrange them. Probably why we haven't seen SEAD missiles yet.

[@legendarywoIf]

@@CmdrTyrael oh yeah for sure, I mean we've had similar stuff happen already with the AGM-12s on the FJ-4B which people would launch from the airfield and guide using the following camera, and in the 2077 event where the aircraft could dominate so much because it could operate outside of AA ranges.

[@B2Pproduction]

Great use of the new replay feature

[@CmdrTyrael]

The replay feature is my new best friend, it makes everything look so much cooler!

[@M-dici]

I’ve been testing the Kormoran anti ship missile in customs (because it almost never hits a target directly). I found it to work best if you drop the kormoran from high altitude, 20k+ft (7000 ish meters). while facing either directly down at the target or high off the rear of the target. I shot 5 or so volleys (20 missiles) and recorded one kill per volley. Still not great, but at least i was able to see “target destroyed” a few times. 😂

[@CmdrTyrael]

Good on you for trying to find a method. It sucks that so many conditions have to be right, just to score meaningful hits. Thanks for watching

[@Classified-70]

My marine germany tornado was the first in the game to have anti ship missiles did we forget about that?

[@CmdrTyrael]

I spoke about the Komoran on the IDS repeatedly during the video.... comparing it to the Martel

[@evanoconnell9448]

I got a kill with the s2b using these martel missiles a few hours ago. Fired from about 15km out. My 2nd missile either lost tracking or an spaa shot the missile down maybe. I tried air rb but it was not good. Too slow and was just a sitting duck......or...well a flying duck.

[@CmdrTyrael]

If you have the patience to learn the Bucc's are fantastic to fly in sim. Beginner friendly and gentle in landing. The lowest tier one has a friendly BR where you rarely see enemies if you watch RWR and stay low and fast.

Can you use this in naval arcade? If I'm worried about naval with this. Alot of the highest ships are ww1 dreadnaughts or earlier. The only kind of modern one is USS Alaska.

[@CmdrTyrael]

The battle rating is too high to use in naval, the only place it will get a real chance to fight ships is Air sim or custom battles.

[@daddy_marx6823]

Doesn't seem functional, ship bounding boxes still lead anti ship missiles to hit the mast and funnels instead of the hull, until they fix this ASMs are really gimped

[@CmdrTyrael]

It's functional if you launch the missile in the correct circumstances... the last half of the video shows this. Until it's fixed overall there is no real reason to get excited for more additions 😒

[@Grekos26]

Is it a good idea to use AGM-62A Walleye I against Carriers?

[@CmdrTyrael]

In my experience the Walleye doesn't have enough punch. I would prefer to use 500lb or 1000lb bombs and lay as many as possible across the deck. Attack from directly ahead of the ship to avoid its fire arcs. like in this example with the A-4B kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGOtonaliKySrZY

I been trying alot more naval lately n missle. They just always seem to hit the stacks. No matter what. Nothing really seems to work. These do seem to be a bit of an upgrade.

I will do. In my experience with SU-39 and its Laser guider missiles, that is the best guidance option for Anti-ship role. I'm excited to try a larger missile :)

[@themera8921]

@@CmdrTyrael iirc the Kh-38 have a smaller warhead than the Kh-29 but bigger than the Kh-25M. Also the Kh-38MT have the same problem as the Kh-29T, they don't track moving targets until 6ish km so it will miss a moving destroyer if you fire too far out.

[@ivancsontos7011]

the martels are a tragedy in the game, they lack their proper guidance method and are just a glorified maverick. Their guidance, called "man-in-loop" behaved like this: the missile is fired and will autopilot and loft with the "man" only having control over the altitude it should loft at in 200~m intervals, afterwards, the controller would be able to manually control it and be able to lock onto a target and the missile would then impact This allowed the missile to have 30~km range from sea level iirc. So irl its a remote controlled tv guided missile that has an automatic loft from launch that allows it to achieve insane ranges. In game its a glorofied maverick. I hate that gaijin simply didnt bother to model it but still have the gall to ask for 75 euro premiums.

[@MadManchou]

To be fair to Gaijin, it's not that they didn't bother modelling the man-in-the-loop, but a conscious balancing choice so the missile cannot outrange SAMs in ground battles. Similarly, they have not implemented man-in-the-loop modes for Spike MR and ER missiles, even though it is one of that missile family's signature features. You will also note that most guided weapons (GBUs, LGBs, Mavericks, AS.30L, etc.) across the board have much shorter range than commonly reported.
