Hey Loving WOE I'm not bad with air to air guns. My problem is I need some help with missiles. For example I'll have a sidewinder & a red box around my target. I hear the buzzing noise getting louder etc. No matter what distance I get & how square on to the enemy plane I get I can't seem to get that other tilted box to create a diamond lock. Please can you give me some tips to shoot down boogies with missiles please. Should I have my radar in scan mode also or will that make me a threat from enemy radar guided missiles? A short missile use tutorial would be great. Thanks.

With IR missles you won't get a diamond. That's only for radar guided ones.

 

Sidewinder effectiveness depends on the model. Bs for example, have a rather narrow envelope and are almost useless in a dogfight. Ls are pretty much "point, shoot, kill". In between is a number of variables. With experience you'll be able to instinctivly know the right setup for whatever missle you're using.

 

Scanning for targets i figure depends on what you think is out there. In an F-4 or Deuce i scan right up until the the target is spotted then go boresight, lock and engage.

 

 

Search around these forums and you'll find a lot of posts concerning missle use.

Page 4 of the Game's manual (that pdf file in the folder marked "Manual") gives a very quick overview of "how to"

 

More detailed instructions start on Pg 31.

 

Time to review it, methinks??? At least, it'll get you started on knowing how it works
