Missile Fire and Move to next Target?

[SlyBelle]

Can you fire a missile and then immediately move until the next target and fire anothe missile and then etc. Or do you have to keep the single target locked until the missile hits and then move on to your next target?

Missile goes where your laser points to. If you move target designator while missile is in flight, it will change direction. So, yes, you need to wait for hit before changing target.

Not to mention that the laser shuts off after 20 seconds for cool down +6 seconds. besides The weapons wont let you fire a second missle after 1st launch.

..Allthough you can launch mutltiple (well...2) missles at a single target at the same time ...they'll ride the same target beam

[CAT_101st]

yes when weapons set to long mode.

You can fire one missile and give the first missile some flight time before you can shoot the second one. Then when the first one impact you can switch to the next target as fast as you can and the next missile will ride that beam but remember to give each missile enought seperation in flight.

 

I do this in the 25T on Flaming Clifts with multiple targets.

 

Also remember the targets can't be to far away from each other then the missile will lose the beam.

Aha, so there is a way to ripple fire Vikhrs, i didn't know, thanks :)

Useful perhaps if you want to go overkill mode on a single target

:surprise::blink: huh! Not in Black Shark!

You can fire 2 Vikhrs but not more, you have to forget missile spamming like it is in FC. After theirs hit, you can fire next one.

:D

None of this shooting at 5 sec intervals and walking on the targets in Ka-50. The Vikhr simply does not work this way.
