KJakker Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 I have been playing about with trying to make a sci-fi kinetic kill SAM with high acceleration and turn rates. What I would like to achieve is a missile that will go from the launcher to the target so fast that it can not be evaded and has enough kinetic energy to destroy a heavy bomber in a single hit without a warhead. The version below is a reduced power version with only a couple of hundred G's of acceleration but I have tried acceleration and turn rates in the thousands of G's. The problem I am trying to solve at the moment is how to make the missile fly in a smooth lead pursuit profile. So far it is flying in a snake like bob and weave profile that appears to be ruining accuracy. Any idea's as to what would make it fly smoothly? I am using WhiteBoySamurai's ESSM LOD and texture as a temporary stand in while testing the weapon data file.

Fubar512 Posted September 8, 2013 Posted September 8, 2013 Try upping the CEP, by increments of .010. Increasing accuracy past 100% achieves nothing, and may even be seen as lower than "100" by the system. Another thought: The system may not recognize a game object without defined collision points as being capable of damaging another object. Perhaps equipping it with a 5 kg warhead without visiual effects and imbuing it with 3 meter blast radius may help you achieve what you're after Quote
+ianh755 Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 I tried something similar and I also found that the faster a missile flies the more it corkscrews making it virtually unusable. I think this is down to the coding TK used to make A-A weapons "wobble" in-flight so when you push a missile too fast the wobbling effect alters the flight path too much. Quote
