HOW TO: Rb05A missiles with manual guidance (MCLOS)

[michel_blade]

Hi there!
How am I supposed to use them? I know I can make them turn, but since I do not see where they go and after rocket is gone I can not even see them, I have no way of aiming at anything. Is there some targeting mode or something like that?

You need to set up some keybinds first (to lazy too look up what they are called).

But what kind of keybinds? I know how to turn, up and down. But I do not see where it goes.

There's a flare on the back of the missile IIRC, MCLOS missiles are just you watching the missile and giving it correction commands based on where it looks like it's going

Edit: there's also an option in the control settings that changes it from the increase/decrease system, to one that sets the control to 100% if that button is pressed, and 0% if it isn't. That makes it much easier to control MCLOS missiles

To control where a "Manual Control Line Of Sight" missile goes to, the keybinds are "Yaw axis for aimed weapons" and "Pitch axins for weapons aiming", I use the arrow keys.

That's for those German Fritz-X and for the Japanese I-Go missiles - I don't know what a Rb05A is.

It is Swedish.

Yeah, I know those controls, I just do not see how am I supposed to hit with them when I do not see the missile or where it is going xD

You just got to watch the missile. If your shooting from to far away your not going to see the missile anymore. So then get closer.
Flying directly towards your target while firing the misslie, then staying on the same course(often very dangerous) is the easiest way to guide it. The missile usaly dont land to far away from your aiming point if not to far away. Then you only need small corrections, and by flying directly behind the missile. Makes it easier to see the missile.

And that's why I prefer bombs... But I admit I don't play any planes beyond early jets.
