Mi-8MT ESKORTNIY S-24 rocket fix

[Atanwarno]

Please fix the accuracy of the S-24 missiles. I understand the idea of ​​14% accuracy, but when the missile, instead of not just missing a direct hit, flies it is not known where from the target and it seems that the pilot did not even try to aim, it is ridiculous

It is interesting that a lot of the rockets just get catapulted out of the galaxy. I wonder if it can be possibly made into a feature to allow helicopter rockets to do indirect fire as ad hoc artillery, just like how they are doing it in the war in Ukraine.

the rocket fled 500m away from the target and planes with S24 is just useless.

What surprises me the most is in-game accuracy for this missile.
In fact missile was quite stable and accurate IRL as can be seen in different sources like this:

Come on! Who ever at unit design department woke up and thought that flying jet planes to fire 2-4 big ass but inaccurate missiles at ground target is great idea?
News flash but if it wasn't accurate - noone gonna risk a plane+pilot to fire 2-4 of these at the enemy

It should be noted that these kind of accuracy reports only reflect weapon-range testing against stationary targets, and not under combat conditions.

You'd have to travel back to the 1960s and ask whichever Soviet design bureau was behind the S-24. :b

A 15 meters deviation at 4km don't seem very inaccurate, anyway, the issue they are reporting as I see is that is just flies off to nowhere instead of just hitting the ground a few dozen meters from the ground.
