Missile Science: new physics with line-of-sight guidance missiles

We present details on the revised physics of guided missiles with line-of-sight guidance in the La Royale update. We continue to refine the physical model of the weapons in the game. Today we would like to talk about the new reworked physics of missiles guided by the three-point method guidance, that is, guided using line of sight, which we have prepared for the La Royale major update. The current physics of line-of-sight missiles affects the missile's skyplane acceleration directly, bypassing the simulation of controls.
Skyplane of a missile The current simplified implementation of the physical model allows the missile to go beyond the available overload and hit targets with which the missile should not have enough maneuverability available. The new physical model for line-of-sight guidance missiles is similar to the physical model of homing missiles and operates on the missile's control surfaces. The updated physics model of missiles requires much more accurate autopilot tuning compared to the old physics model, and even compared to homing missiles. Generally, the autopilot of each such missile is a compromise between the dynamic error of the real missile trajectory from the kinematic trajectory and self-oscillations of the missile around the kinematic trajectory with a sharp change in the direction of the line of sight.
Animated dynamic error of lagging the real trajectory from the kinematic one A dynamic error, unlike a miss due to insufficient G capability, exerts throughout the entire trajectory of the missile, while insufficient available overload capacity appears only when approaching the target, when the necessary overload increases sharply.
Animated dynamic error of lagging the real trajectory from the kinematic one due to insufficient G capability The dynamic lag of the actual trajectory from the kinematic occurs not only when launching against a moving target, but also with a moving carrier. This must be taken into account by the player when launching from a high-speed carrier: it is worth trying to reduce the angular velocity of the line of sight to reduce the dynamic error.
Animation of the trajectory of a line-of-sight guidance missile when fired from a high-speed carrier The use of a new physical model allows you to correctly implement the control over the missile's engine and control surfaces, which allows more accurately modeling the design features of the missiles in the game. So, for some missiles, engine control was implemented that allows significantly better control over a missile at low speed compared to aerodynamic controls (flaps, rudders, etc). We have implemented this feature on the following missiles:

ATGM

SS.11
914-2
MILAN
MILAN-2
HOT
HOT-2
HOT-3
302 ATGM
HJ-8A
HJ-8C
HJ-8E
HJ-8H

SAM

Roland-1
Roland-2
Roland-3

We have implemented a new physical model for the majority of the line-of-sight guided anti-tank and surface-to-air missiles. Here is the list:

ATGM

SS.11
914-2
MILAN
MILAN-2
HOT
HOT-2
HOT-3
302 ATGM
HJ-8A
HJ-8C
HJ-8E
HJ-9
TOW

TOW-2
TOW-2A

Roland-1
Roland-2
Roland-3
RB-70
RB 70 Mk.2
BOLIDE
9331
9311
95Ya6
VT-1

The listed missiles will be transferred to the new physics with the release of the La Royale major update. Old physics remains for the 1st generation ATGMs with wire guidance, as well as for some 2nd generation missiles.

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.

War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.

You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!

In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.

Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.

War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.

Features include:

An entire arsenal at your command - Over 500 highly detailed aircraft, tanks, and other combat vehicles crafted carefully from historical documents and surviving sources.
Right into the heat of battle - Intense PvP experiences in full-scale combat missions on various difficulty settings for all play styles and degrees of experience.
A single bullet can make a difference - A realistic damage system for aircraft and ground vehicles involving individual component durability instead of an overall health bar.
The true free to play experience - Download and play the game for free as much and as long as you like it. Support the ongoing development entirely at your own leisure.
