Missile - Radar-Guided Air-To-Air
This is a fire-and-forget air-to-air missile which is guided by
a nose mounted radar system. They are useful against any aircraft
that is not fitted with electronic counter-measures (ECM). They may
be deployed against jets (some jets are
fitted with ECM though), helicopters or prop-driven planes.
Targets that are not fitted with ECM are depicted on the 'Target HUD' with yellow 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 chaff,
if they have some.
Use the 'Targeting
Concentration' skill to enhance targeting.
This missile may be won in mission Revenge.
