Vipera 10 Posted July 9, 2010 Falanga missile doesn't hit targets. Missile hits ground around locked target. Is there any trick to shoot Falanga missiles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinc3nt 10 Posted July 10, 2010 Falanga missile doesn't hit targets. Missile hits ground around locked target. Is there any trick to shoot Falanga missiles? I can confirm this; might work if your miles away from the target though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
callaway 0 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) Any update on this? I noticed it tonight as well. I tried TONS of scenarios, far, close, multiple fires, different types of armor as targets. The missile NEVER hits anything. If I remember correctly this has been broken since Arma2. Edited July 26, 2010 by callaway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arthur666 10 Posted July 26, 2010 Noticed this too. In RL, I think the chopper has to be moving very slow if not hovering, but even then, it usually misses in game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iroquois Pliskin 0 Posted August 31, 2010 Up, issue still present. Falanga hits the ground 5m before intended target. If you fire a second missile at the same target, it goes straight: you have to reacquire lock on the target. At least S-8 are decent. (ahem) :cc: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pipetka 10 Posted May 12, 2011 I agree. Falanga is absolutely useless againts any targets - cars, trucks, tanks... Falanga is a verry slow and hard controlable (maneurability = 3.5 its best parameter) rocket in RL - only 150 mps. The most oldest versions have 1500 m range radius of action, newest more than 4 km. All versions Falanga or Shturm-V have 500-600 mm armor penetration (like PG-7VR missile for RPG-7V or Konkurs AT-6 for BMP-2). Why it's so weak in-game? Cause its have thrust time only 2 sec. BIS, pls make it for 10 sec or more. I think most players will agree with me, if i will say CDF and Takistani Mi-24D not effective against most targets...

maturin 12 Posted May 12, 2011 What is the thrust time of the real missile? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pipetka 10 Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Missile controlable on 1,5-2 km in most oldest version 9M17. Speed = 150 mps. Thrust time i think is 10-12 sec. New versions 9M17P (Mi-24D) have 4 km radius of action. Thrust time 20-25 sec. Edited May 14, 2011 by Pipetka bad english language... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
