Alexey K Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I've just had thee AT-7 teams firing at two BRDMs at ~400m. Veterans. They've wasted EIGHT missiles before scoring first hit. Targets were static and didn't fire back. What's the catch? Too close? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I doubt proximity is an issue, Metis' minimum range is 40 meters. Make sure that the missiles don't hit any trees or such? Describe conditions. Strong winds can affect missiles. Also make sure that the ATGMs can see their targets for the entire flight of the missile - even if the target is stationary, a drifting cloud of smoke can momentarily blind the gunner. Statistically sometimes you just get a streak of bad luck, but there probably is a reason for most of those missed shots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have generally found AT-7s to have 60-70% accuracy rate which is quite realistic under battle conditions. I have seen them go completedly of the guidence path a few times, which I guess is supposed to represent missle failure or wire break/guidence distraction. On the overall hower, they are quite effective and reliable based on my trials. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagler Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Are they firing from the shoulder? Sometimes atgm fire from semi deployed and are horrendously inaccurate. Sometimes there is also no option to deploy them. Make sure they are deployed and or give them time stationary to deploy on their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I control deployment mode? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, so far seems like a bad luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 How can I control deployment mode? On the special menu panel top left is the Deplay Weapon command. If you don't toggle it your guys will *not* deploy it when they stop moving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
