TV Missiles.

Is there a way to slow down the speed at which a TV missile will fly once it has been fired ?

I have been watching a few movies of TV kills, it seems as though their missiles fly at a speed whereby the direction can be changed with quite a lot of accuracy before it hits the target. When I try it, the missile flys so fast that by the time I get a couple of directional mouse clicks in, it's missed the mark.

I don't suffer lag (generally) and my reflexes are not too bad.

Any tips ?

I think it's just practice, practice, practice. That is probably the biggest factor in launching a tv missle.

1 - They slowed the video down so that you could watch what a nice shot it was they just made.

2 - There is no other option the missile was just slowed down there is no way it could be slowed down or it has to be some mod or something.

Nope, no other way to do it than pure skill. TV'ing isn't easy, it takes alot of practice.

The trick is the very first click.

Look at the direction your target is moving, how fast it is moving, and how far away it is, and lead the target according to your judgment. after the initial launch, do little corrections if the target changes any of those variables.

This "judgment" will only come with practice and time.

I'm really good with camera missles... and gunning... but I don't know any good pilots.. so I just pilot. And plus... after all this time piloting, I feel like a retard when gunning. And that glitch where the missle goes through the target happens WAYYY too often to me.

Re: TV Missiles.

I love to use the tv missle and like mettalica said it's all in the first click because that is primary direction the rocket will go. I never get to use the tv because I usually end up flying, I am good at flying I just hate the J-10 and it's pesky cannons.

i was playing on the TPG server earlier (one of the best administrated servers out there) and these 2 TKing douchebags wouldn't quit killing each other for the F35. So as soon as one of em TKed me for it, I simply minimized to XP, got on TPG's TS and bam, they're both gone within 2 minutes.

Yeah I hate how all J-10 pilots suck balls with the cannons and they're like knats... they annoy the crap outta you..

Why can't they just kill you the first run... :laugh:

Yeah, it's just endless practise. The hard bit is when you first get into a chopper as gunner with a pilot you don't know. They line you up perfectly for a great shot and hover there and the pressures on you to get it right. You only get one chance to make a first impression :-)

Re: TV Missiles.

In my experience what u see in the TV while guiding the missile is not 100% accurate (as u can expect whenever your ping > 0 :/

Sometimes u see the missile fly 'thru' the target and sometimes u hit it despite u were certain u missed it by 5 feet.

I think the last 3 or so clicks are crucial too (just like the 1st one). What i mean is that even if u didint lead the target enough and it seems to escape the camera view, if u get a couple of very rapid clicks on the target just as the missile is flying 'past' the target ( i'm talking chopper vs. chopper mostly here) you have a good chance of hitting.

Sure you know a good pilot. Just xfire him once in a while...

As for the glitches, I know all too well what you mean. It happens so often and at the most inopportune times! I don't mind it occuring when I'm trying to hit an APC or tank... just don't bug when I'm soloing a good chopper team!

Re: TV Missiles.

The way I learned how to use them effectively is to practice by setting up your own server game on Gulf of Oman. Land the helo on top of the hotel with the nose placed just over the edge of the roof, pointing towards the beach. Practice aiming for the spawn point with the tank or the apc.

I hate how the TV missile will sometimes go through a target. I've hit other helicopters square and nothing happens!
