I have uploaded my new and cool >> YG-M2 missiles << to workshop!
It is much better than an outdated YG-7

@pepefrog, I can't make good looking launchers sorry
I tried but they all look too bad to be posted on ws. I don't think it is a problem just to place the missile on the plane's free hardpoint. That's how I usually test my missiles

Hi man its been a month, plz release a launcher for this like the YG6 one or just transfer the YG7 onto the YG6 launcher, everytime i try transfering it to the yg6 it dont work

Also I am finishing 1x1(not including fins) SACLOS missile which is nearly as effective as this one

I am finishing a twice better missile than this one, but unfortunately I am very busy IRL so I have to wait when I have enough free time to play this game.

Taladon, yes, lmao, I am bad at vehicle visual design)

You my dude, are a legend at making missiles. Your carriers for them mayybee not the greatest but jesus dude, good job.

@ahzenfam, it may be because when you tested it, there were several targets in it's fov or the target had too much subgrids, so proximity fuze thought that target moves too fast relatively to missile per one tick when lock switched to another target.
If there are no such obstacles, missile works as expected.
You can fix it by setting fuze tick extrapolation to 0.
This occurred very rarely when I tested it so I thought it is not essential at all, but since you found it, ok, I'll fix thix case next week

the missile sometimes blows up randomly, when not even close to the target, or right after launch

He's only gone and done it. Damnmmmn boy it tracks. Yes I must prefix this with two memes for abilities some may consider unnatural. Ok I'll stop.

Another substantial improvement on previous generations. I should stop living in the stone age with cheaply modified gen 5 on most of my creations. (Just put four small warhead on each of the four corners. It fits in seamlessly with the gen 4/5 design. It will be set off by damage on impact.)

But have you ever thought of going bigger?

@pepefrog69, unfortunately I am too busy to play Stormworks in some of these days(. Maybe in one or few weeks I'll upload a missile launcher

@Solar, I can't advice(about Lua) anything else but reading official Lua documentation and first sources found on Google. I had no problems with Lua because I know similiar programming languages, for example Python.

@YAGoOaR that's interesting, never new that they were inaccurate. I've been trying to learn more about how radar guided missiles work and how I could possibly build my own, but the lua seems very complicated with a lot of concepts I'm unfamiliar with. Do you perhaps know a good place to start?

can you attach it to a vehicle and make a vehicle ground to air missile i would like alot thanks

進取, I think I can't make this missile vertically launched, but I am working on another VLS missiles and possibly I'll upload them in one or few weeks.

Will there be a vertically launched version of it?I like this very much

Going to have a look at that, thanks

It is currently the only missile with relative guidance based on tilt sensors and compasses, but you can also find AEck's Simple APN and see how it works(That missile is based on angular speed sensors. I don't use these sensors because they glitch so we have to smooth the output. So I made much more complicated but more responsive and accurate guidance here)

@Momitori, there is really hard to find an in-depth explaining research paper for EPN, but I just did my own implementation of EPN. It is APN_result + LOS_jerk * epn_multiplier * nav_constant, where APN_result is apn formula output, LOS jerk is a deriviative of los acceleration, nav_const is navigation constant and epn_multiplier is how the missile reacts to LOS_jerk, may be 4 or 6 or something else you want.For older missiles, I used first research papers that can be found in internet.Actually, I did not found information about calculating LOS and how it is defined in 3d space, so on older missiles(up to YG-5) I used it as absolute euler angles(as others do), then I made turned coordinate system that helps the missile to remove gimbal lock and other problems with high pitch angles(on YG-6 and YG M1), and then I made my own relative guidance that calculates LOS changing relative to missile's orientation(YG-7).

@Solar, it's because new radars still have big error and there is no custom input to control radar sensor yaw/pitch. So we have almost absolutely useless(for missiles) new radars with jitter and small and fixed fov(because if we increase it, the range will be too small).

@YAGoOaR What source material did you use for the EPN guidance law, or the guidance laws of your older missles? It can be quite hard to find a good research paper or tutorial that explains it in-depth.

Just out of curiosity, why do the old radars seem to be preferred over the new ones? Every good radar guided missile I've seen uses the old stormworks radars and not the new ones, despite several releasing after the update.

YAGoOaR, I found it . Thanks.

Dordan The Red, you do not need to add anything to hardpoints, just to send ON value to "Launch" signal(not the "Release" signal) on hardpoint connector. The plane you used just drops the missile and does not launch them because it uses release signal.

I am trying to attach these to Stahlschutz-TFT's ENi-42 Cannon Seagull, but they are only dead dropping, they arent activating. is there anything special that I need to do to add these to a pre-existing hardpoints?

Hi!

Used this on my first ever workshop plane! Thanks a bunch!

[Red Cross].lhsmithnet, it already can be mounted on ship(not VLS because it breaks in that case)

please make a ship mounted version

ok, thanks

@someone, I have them in plans but I am very busy now so I think I'll make VLS in few weeks or month, after I make new, better missiles

Do you have any VLS launch missiles? I need one for my missile boat. I love your guidance system. best on the workshop

Turb0Punda, compact missiles are not just less maneuverable than big ones. They are absolutely useless against jets. I am interested in effectivity, but not in visuals/realism.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, compared to real life, these missiles are insane, they turn ridiculously fast. I am sure they would be magnitudes more useful if they could fit on jets with low wings, even if they were less maneuverable.

Turb0Punda, the problem of making a compact missile isn't big missile's parts. The problem is stormworks physics that do not allow small missiles be maneuverable. It is not problem for me to make, as example 2x2x9 AA APN missiles(I already made them) but they aren't nearly as good as the YG-7 and they can hit only slow and straight flying planes because of their limited maneuverability. In Stormworks, to make a good missile you need to add a lot of fins and to make the missile very long(as well as to make a good guidance, of course). I want to make qualitative AA missiles and I make them big so they work good. If you want a small (consequently, useless) AA missiles, you visited a wrong WS page.

i dont have to, people have already been working on smaller ones, the missile radar exists for a reason.

Turb0Punda where is your EPN guided missile? Make one smaller if you think this isnt good

Devs also have nerfed SRBs so missiles need to be even bigger now

TurbOPunda, the bigger the missile, the more maneuverable it is possible to make it. Welcome to Stormworks

thank you for yet another very oversized missile

THIS THING IS SO COOL

what plane can i use this on without it being too heavy for the plane cuz i tried it on the a10 thats on the front page and it cant take off

I used the YG-6 LOTS to shoot down my friend so it would be nice if you uploaded a version of that vehicle with these GODLY yg-7 missiles attached.

I don't know how to attach missiles to planes and a SAM ground-air vehicle like the yg-6 with these missiles would be appreciated.

RPerry435, you can equip the plane with the missile yourself. Unfortunally I am too busy to play the game and to upload vehicles now.

Hey @YAGoOaR, can we get a YG-1 Figher Jet plane equipped with these missiles?

Great missile!

yaroslav_1945, я же ответил, так и должно быть. Lua скрипт берёт эти настройки БЕЗ подключения. Они работают

YAGoOaR в настройках микроконтроллера ракеты есть, n, fuzedistance, fuzedistanceextrapolateticks, expodeiftargetlost. которые не подключены в микроконтроллере ни к чему.

VeryBigVirus, ok, but I am now in process of making chassis based on my friend's cool truck. I'll upload the plane later

Can you upload the plane idc how bad it is it performs well. It’s not about the looks
