Missile - Heat-Seeking Air-To-Air
This is a fire-and-forget air-to-air missile which is guided by
a heat detecting sensor. They may be used against aircraft that
have hot jet engines, but not against helicopters or prop-driven planes. Targets
that are emitting enough heat for the sensor to detect are depicted
on the 'Target HUD' with
green arrows.
These missiles have the advantage over wire-guided missiles that
once launched they guide themselves to the target without any pilot
intervention.
Select the weapon on the primary or secondary weapon display of
the weapon panel. Missiles can be
locked on to targets by using the
primary or secondary targeting array. When the 'SHOOT' LED lights
press 'Fire' or 'Fire2' .
Note that the longer the 'SHOOT' LED is lit before the missile
is launched, the more time the target will have to dispense a
flare, if they have one.
Use the 'Targeting
Concentration' skill to enhance targeting.
This missile may be won in mission Revenge.
