    IR missiles are calibrated to aim just ahead of the hottest heat signatures, which, on jets, is the cockpit. But Prop planes heat is ahead of the cockpit in most instances, so the missiles tend to track ahead of that, which is open sky.
    Lower heat signatures also play a factor.

    As a prop plane I'd of took the tactic to instead stick as low as possible cause I've noticed the jets mostly boom and zooming from above. They don't turn well so bringing the playing field to the props having more manoeuvrability at lower altitudes, I'd of stuck low and tried to think of a strategy which gave the props the advantage. Only thing you wouldn't win against is those missiles but guns you could win against

    @alexshepherd1741 Рік тому +5

    A homing missile reacts to heat, so heat traps work against it. The missile is easily aimed at the jet blast of modern fighters, as it is very hot, but the old propeller-driven aircraft did not have a jet blast, but only a warm engine, which is much colder than a jet blast. Therefore, it is much easier for a rocket to target a modern fighter than a World War II aircraft.

    To explain how Fox 2 aka your sidewinder's missiles work. They require a heat signature. The reason why they track jets better is that the heat source is behind the aircraft. While the heat source on propellers is in the front taking almost all of the cool air which helps cool it down after faster speeds.
    If I got anything wrong for those who served or serving in the Air Force correct me on anything.

    Salut, Monsieur. I would recommend a fight between lotsa props vs the Mirage F1C (C, CT, C-200). Would be interesting to see one of the hardest jets to fly fight against props. This also would be an interesting challenge as the Mirage F1C isn't known for its agility. It's acceleration is not as good as some other aircrafts and even a Phantom can almost outmanoeuvre it. Would be interesting.

    well there is a reason y the radar missiles don't work against props
    i have played custom battles where the radar missile will not kill a prop because they are too slow for the radar to detect, they have a low radar cross section, or dumb gaijin code
    i really dont know why they dont lock onto props that well unlike in jets
    the average range where I am able to fire a radar guided missile at a prop is around 5k
    a little over 3 miles
    this could explain why the radar missiles were ineffective

    so my theory on the missles not tracking properly is that some of the prop planes have equipped Rockets to create a shot burst of High Heat.
    So far I am yet to be killed by missile in my Sea Vixen because whenever i see that Missile indicator I fire a Much brighter AGM for it to track instead.
    However sometimes the players just switch to guns but i have deterred players from getting me through Energy management and then just peeling off because I wasn’t their first target and therefore wasted their Final missile.

So the L has an easier time getting a lock as the engines and exhaust are in the front of the props and being able to pull an extra 12g helps guide it in.

    Those prop players played like brainless bots, not even evading or breaking to avoid the F16s

    Why do they get infinite missiles though. Kinda lame that they never have to fight the prop planes because they don’t run out of missiles
