@@Heating56 I know this is a joke, but technically, the missile only gets a limited amount of information, for all the missile cares, the only places in the universe that exist are it (where it is), its target (where it isn't) and the path to it (also where it isn't, but a different kind of where it isn't). If the path to the target is just a straight line through clear, uniform sky, that all counts as one small position. If the target is something with a nice, clear IR or radar signature, that's also one position. In that case, the missile could count where it is as greater than where it isn't. After all, the missile doesn't need to know where everything is in the entire observable universe to hit an enemy plane 2 km in front of you.

[@shadewolfe3131]

I feel like Bo knows that he needs to get the small circle over the plane he's trying to lock with a missile, he just likes to make us stress about it. Imagine if Bo was using his HMD in this video haha

[@botimegaming]

Yea for sure lol. For a lot of those I was trying to keep the nose in front in a turn to intercept the aircraft and just let the missile lock when it locks. This was my second time? In Rank VII jets and everything is moving fast. I personally feel like I am improving and I plan on continuing playing these aircraft on stream. We all start somewhere lol

[@kabanosek1703]

@@botimegaming yeah, i see where you might have gotten confused with the locking on, cuz the mig-29 brought in that new Helmet Mounted Display mechanic, where the missiles seeker is actually following the pilots head(your mouse), and not just looking in front of you. You can also lock on without turning by looking around with free cam.

I like how you ask the missile to lock on while all you have to do is put the enemy plane inside the blinking green circle for it to lock onto the thing inside it. Also Merry Christmas bo!

[@botimegaming]

Yea, for sure, looking back at it I could have done a bit better aiming. I was very focused on flying / trying to be defensive with all the F-16s out and slaying everything in their path. So I tried to keep the MiG in straight lines as much as possible and let the aircraft's merge instead of forcing the nose on to target, if that makes any sense. I am newb when it comes to the Rank VI/VII jets but I am improving the more I do it.

[@bluefir111]

A fantastic video bo and crew

[@NoobNoobNews]

I just noticed something. The Mig 29 is essentially an F-16... if an F-16 had two engines. Look how the cockpit and engines are aligned. Cockpit top, flat bottom, engines underslung, but blend into the tail. I think there is an SU that is even more like a two engine F-16.

I've seen these aircraft in real life, in service, afterburner blazing, and they are NASTY SMOKEY DIRTY! Also, 17:50, the ejection levers on Soviet ejection seats are down between your legs, not overhead. Supposedly they're easier to reach in high-G situations.

[@McScrubington]

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
