Targetseeking missile

[Guest The Cobra]

Hello... I'm have been trying to make a mission where a plane is going to be shot down... I haven't found any kind of targetseeking missiles... Help?

They come with ofp

soldier (AA)

How about using the Strela or the Stinger?

[Guest The Cobra]

Are they target seeking... I having hard time to see that AI could hit a F16 traveling in 700+  

BTW; Whats a Strela/Stinger?

[CAPAIRMAN 0]

They are shoulder fired SAMs

stinger

strella

Neither the West AA or the East AA were targetseeking on any planes, and you can't target them either...

Any script that will make it explode? (But also so the pilot can eject in time)

What do you mean by target seeking? The missiles home in on their targets. Are you asking if there are any that will actively hunt down the plane when it manuvers?

Not to sound like a moron here...

But have you tried to right-click on the aircraft with the stinger or strella? Made sure it was loaded?

When you right-click on an aircraft using one of these, you will see a box appear around it. When you see a diamond over the box, then you can fire the missile. The diamond means that the weapon is locked AND at proper angle.

The same is with the ATGM's found on the helicopters, and some vehicles like the bradley TOW's or the BMP-2.

If you are talking about something else, then please explain it better. Are you talking about something that can fire WITHOUT a lock, and then lock on to anything that might be in the air? Any further details about what you are trying to achieve would help.

I know that I can lock on the target but not while it's flying past me in the air... I'm trying to have the missile target and follow the plane... This would probably not work but...

I don't quite get what you mean here...

I think he wants to talk about a missile that will lock itself to a target , once launched, without making the user to lock it manually.

Certainly possible with several detections scripts, but i did not ran into an addons provided with such scripting.

I think I get what you mean, but this is unrealistic IIRC. Missles don't behave like they do in the movie Behind Enemy Lines

Unless you mean a steerable laserguided missle...

Yes, download MCAR from that link and then apply this patch

Otherwise there's just trouble instead of enjoyment...

EDIT:

If that link doesn't work there are couple of unzipped files available here
