Scorpio9 10 Posted August 2, 2009 WOW wow wow man is it just me or do missiles really move that slow in real life I was standing buy some Humvee's and 2 of them came in and flew right past me and I had the time to shoot at them as they flew bye... I mean they just float to the ground like a plane landing. It looks very cool but it is really unrealistic. Just an observation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steakslim 1 Posted August 2, 2009 I do not think I've observed this behavior with any rocket, except for the Vihkrs? (sp?) I think I saw a video (one of the 1500 AI videos by ritchiespeed) where the russion missile would slow down before hitting, or at least thats what it looked like, but personally I have not seen it in game for myself so I cannot confirm if it's still in 1.02xxxx.

Windexglow 10 Posted August 2, 2009 Most rockets irl (if traveling in a straight line) are going to hit their targets much, much faster than in this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio9 10 Posted August 2, 2009 it is a Russian aircraft that fired the missile. From a distance say like i see one about to hit a target across the way from me about 200-300m I do not observe this behavior as bad still looks a little slow but probably not as bad as if its fly's past me about 10m off the ground and 10 m away from me..... Crazy it looks like its trying to feather out for a landing. I will make a Video of it.... I would almost call it a glitch. ---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ---------- yes Steakslim this is version 1.02 build 58134 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maturin 12 Posted August 2, 2009 The LGB seem to have breaks that make them detonate behind the aircraft rather than underneath it (at altitude anyway). For all I know it is realistic for these short-range, guided missiles to be so slow. Do they need the time to correct their trajectory? It's not like you can dodge them, so the speed doesn't really matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaiNxGS 10 Posted August 2, 2009 Yeah, I noticed this the other day when I was doing some SecOp missions and an Su was flying over killing tanks. Then all of the sudden there was a missile slowing going just above my head, and I found it to be a rather funny site to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roe-31stMEU- 10 Posted August 2, 2009 I would say the distance would change the effect... but it still sounds wrong in-game. Like, if you watch an airplane fly overhead at high altitude, it looks like it's going slow, but in reality it is traveling quite fast. If it were an F-16 just taking off or doing a low fly-by, it would zip by. Seems to be backwards here ingame though.... weird... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baron von Beer 0 Posted August 2, 2009 I think something is FUBAR with the CH-29 (? that SU-25s carry). I noticed a couple times, I fired them, and after ~1-2km I flew over them, and they were practically floating in the air, eventually hitting the ground traveling near vertical, nearly no forward speed, and falling at about 1m/sec or so.
