removing ATGM smoke tail ??

[2win_TOWR]

Is it possible?

those long trails are pretty unrealistic.

 

for example (TOW-missile) :

 

 

 

 

would also be more thrilling, when you don´t see them coming.

ED would of course model the proper smoke trail for all types of ATGMs. Those that have a strong trail in real life would have a strong trail in the sim. Those that have a barely-visible trail in real life would have a barely-visible trail in the sim.

 

ED aren't idiots.

As for the TOW, i would´nt say, this is a barely-visible trail. :D

 

 

 

An ATGM with such a huge and long smoketrail is suicidal for any Anti-Tank gunner. After the first launch, everbody knows where you are. The missile engine should burn only for a few seconds and almost smokeless.

 

 

 

Anyway, meanwhile i found a solution.

 

 

now without smoke trail:

 

 

 

At the moment this affects only the TOW-Missile. (have to do a little research about other missiles)

 

for me its more realistic and also a lot more difficult to evade when you are in the helicopter. You´ll get a warning, but you dont know what is heading for you, unless you saw the launch.

Hi,

 

Good work.

 

I agreed 2win TOWR. I used and launched AT-3 Малютка and AT-4 Фагот at least dozen and Italian made TOW twice. All of them are used a solid rocket propellant and hasn't a visible smoketrail, just a little black smoke.

 

P.S.: :-)

 

t_acc = 0.5,

t_marsh = 30.0,

exhaust = tail_solid,

I guess so, just was not sure.

on the right track

 

I was on a shooting range (15 years ago :music_whistling: ), where some "marders" launched some MILAN -missiles. Did not see much of a Trail!!
