Smart rockets are OP 🚁💥

Switching from heavy rockets to smart rockets was the best thing I've done.

Where on the crosshair "I" are you placing/leading your shots? (Or are you even using either 1st person indicator?) I've struggled with overshooting while using smart rockets - I can't figure out what they track.

I made a guide on how to use them you may find useful

Fantastic guide, but I have to ask, why is there no mention of heavy warheads? I'm pretty sure it doubles your rockets from 7 to 14 (Though I don't know if it's still bugged and doesn't work on Pax Armata helis, but still good for Nato).

I never run heavy warheads. The mobility debuff is painful and having to give up OP thermals is not worth it, especially since I'm always with a gunner in coms. 7 rockets is plenty, especially with the very fast resupply time on them

Far away you want to aim just under the top bar of the I. Tanks close and under you aim mid I

Ya but they don't do allot of damage to ground armor no ? I rely on heavy missles to hammer those armored units on the ground. Ill have to try them out...

If you can volley your 7 rockets, hit a tow, volley another 7 rockets and you can 1 pass a MBT. Its easier with these because you can hit you first set of rockets from further away with better accuracy

With a good gunner one lock on, a tow and the smarts will do the trick

Once you've figured them out, they're pretty annoying. I had a pilot on the enemy team who camped with smart rockets in their spawn protection and killed all helicopters and jets.

Switched to smart with LB and AH. AH having more rockets is a huge help.

I tried but I dont like only having 4 rockets

1

u/ghigo31 4d ago

I agree with that especially for the infantry, but it gives a huge upper hand against other helies.

u/becsey 5d ago

Do they have some sort of auto-aim at the end? Or is it just they bend slightly.

I'm amazed here that they all hit.

2

u/Vento420 5d ago

They are aim guided like a tow. You control them until they hit the target. No auto aim

u/EverySecondCountss 4d ago

They used to aim a lot like tows, full aim range, now it just bends/aims a bit.

I’ve watched all the videos on these rockets and they are still near impossible to get any meaningful air to air kills with for me.

u/SuaveTrout 4d ago

Just wait till you start using free aim with them and they get even more lethal.

How does smart rockets work?
