6:56 You forgot to add that even though you lose a module to using the one turn, a one turn gives free space allowing to you mostly make up the difference by either using the free space for reinforcement, emp, or explosive dmg instead of just fuel

Very cool video! I already knew all of this, but actually _seeing_ the pathing the missiles take was _extremely_ useful and informative! One comment: many modules such as One-Turn, APN Guidance, Prediction Guidance, etc, are almost all empty space that can be filled with fuel or warhead payload. The electronics take a constant volume, so the bigger the missiles, the more fuel (I almost always use them for fuel) they fit, proportionally. The proportion is enormous in any case. IIRC it's something like: Small = 97% Medium = 99% Large = 99.9% Huge = 99.97% Thus you don't need to replace a warhead with the extra guidance module; you can replace a fuel tank instead and lose almost no flight time. I'm _definitely_ interested in seeing a tutorial on Lua missile coding!

I just discovered your channel, let me just say you did an awesome job explaining everything, your scientific approach at testing stuff, changing single variables and comparing side by side is really good, also you explain everything in a concise manner and keep the video short. Keep up the good work! You just gained a new sub!

another thing for the infrared seeker, you can use a secondary missile system to stick sticky flares on targets to give cold targets a heat signature to lock on to. Kinda convoluted but its something.

Excellent video, really informative and professionally done. I would love to see more!

Good video for new players, but there are a few issues. At 7:00 you forgot that the One turn module is mostly free space, there was no reason to give up any payload because of it. At 23:30 you do it again with the prediction guidance and APN modules, also I'm pretty sure that those modules work with the laser seeker (but not the beam rider). Knowing which components are mostly free space is extremely important as it means you can cram in a lot of functionality into your missiles at no added cost. At 9:00 you didn't show the different stats for the single pixel seeker: the normal IR seeker has a 10% to 100% susceptibility to decoys (4% to 40% with signal processor), the single pixel has 15% to 30% and can't use signal processors. This basically means the single pixel seeker is roughly as good as a signal processor on average and also more consistent, and that it's harder for it to be distracted by targets near the one it's currently seeking. You also didnt mention beam rider guidance at all, or the usage of smoke and ECM to throw offf course laser seeker/remote guidance missiles, or how you can use multiple laser designators (even on different vehicles) to provide guidance.

Great job explaining all that, thank you for taking the time.

Great video, hope to see more.

With fires being a thing now, i wonder if IR guided missiles can lock onto blocks that are getting roasted?

This is still very useful, thanks!

Great video

Great tutorial! simple and very helpfull

Not bad but I think you should have discussed thumper head remote guidance. Those tank a lams very well. Another thing I felt should have been noted is using tpg or apn is you can dedicate the left over room from the module can have fuel explosives or emp. Also, if I recall the single pixel has less drag and is much faster.

Very nice

I think the biggest problem with the laser pointer is that it bugs out constantly.

Hey Scott, nice video thanks for that. Is there a reason you have double fins on 2 and 3 instead of one fin after engine and one before the tip? Iirc it gives you a bit better agility since you maximize the distance of the fins from the center.

I've never managed to make a vehicle with a low enough radar signature to be worth it

When in doubt: use crams

Is it possible to make a ballistic missile with a lua box?

Is it possible to make a missile that circles the target and provides detection with lua?

why do my missiles go straight up or go right past or ven way before the target

Hey I was trying to make a middle that would work like a javelin and hits the top of the target can this be done and how should I do it?

my problem is my Missles have 83 seconds of thrust but no matter the range they keep detonating about 20 feet before the target.. its my first craft and have not seen that issue in the 53 episodes ive seen before starting my first build.. like wth id be one hitting these test mauraders but can only get light frag damage... even cut frag heads

Anyone notice that IR missiles just dont hit their targets? My IR missiles only have a hit rate of like 45% on stationary targets, worse if their moving.

I'd be grateful if you explained how interceptor guidance works, because in my tests against the Baskin Shark, the missiles always undershot their target. Could my interceptors be too slow or am I doing something else wrong? Also is there anything about sonar torpedos that should be taken note of when compared to radar besides being in the water?

I see how good lua can be now so looking forward to that video. Do you what APN gain does because that still confuses me. Also, does APN make the missile go faster close to the target like it says and if so, what is that range?

My missiles do most of the damage lol.
