YG V-1A compact VLS missile

Description
NOTE THAT DEVS BROKE MANY THINGS IN THE UPDATE
THE MISSILE MAY BE BROKEN NOW

YG V-1A compact VLS missile

YG V-1A is a radar/GPS guided missile which uses vector lead + relative guidance to hit air, ground and sea targets. The missile is guided using YGT-2 radar/GPS tracker. The missile is designed to be compact and to hit moving and static, ground, sea and air targets. It is recommended to shoot this missile from a ship.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Missile features
- Compact
- Can be mounted on a ship and launched vertically
- Any direction launch
- Lead guidance
- Able to track at any attack angles
- Can hit air targets
- Code optimization - script turns off when missile lifetime(customizable time since launch) ends. (it is off when missile is not launched too) So missile's code will not influence on performance when it is not needed. Spam as many missiles as you want.

Missile characeristics

Missile length
14 blocks
Range
about 3 km
Guidance
Relative, Vector lead + velocity aim

Missile effectiveness comparison(against air targets):
YG M1 < YG V-1A, YG-4 < YG-5 and higher.
Other advantages: pure relative guidance, VLS, compact size, proximity fuze.

The missile has a lot of limits because of it's size and vertical launch. It works well against common air targets but there may be problems with hitting fast and maneuverable ones. So for very fast and hard targets I recommend using my YG-7 AA missiles

-----------------------------------------------------------

How to use

Lock a target vehicle using the tracker so it will be marked with a green square. Do not loose the target untill hit (tracker's FOV is 90x90 degrees). Then you can shoot the missile using trigger button.

It is NOT recommended to launch the missile from a distance, less than 300m. It is recommended to use it when distance to target is 400- 2500 meters.

Note that there aare obstacles that can be accidentally locked by tracker's radar(players, fallen trees, crates, barrels, other vehicles). So make sure they will not bother you while guiding the missile.

In this example, there is everything you need to set the missile up on your ship. Multiple VLS silos can work with one YGT-2 tracker so you can copypaste the silo and connect it as it is done with first one(don't forget to connect hatch to electricity). 4-missile launch microcontroller is included. The silo can also be rotated horizontally and set to a pivot.

Feel free to use/modify this missile in your own creations but please mention it's name or author or include the link to this page if you upload a creation with the missile into workshop.

Some info about the guidance

In this missile I use non-standard guidance method - vector lead and velocity aim(+relative guidance). The missile calculates the lead to target based on missile's speed and target's tangential movement. Then missile aims it's velocity at the lead vector using relative angles. The guidance also uses variable sensitivity, variable lead and LUA PID controllers to accurately aim the velocity.

Missile takes target coordinates from radio frequency 10(channels:1 - X, 2 - Y, 3 - Z(alt)). So it is possible to guide it using stabilized camera, manual xyz output or another sources.

Special thanks

Special thanks to:
- Pilot228 for a great idea for guidance

it works great on my ship but it needs to stand still for it to work

I doubt it will be soon because I am busy

I understand, I am putting a collection together that uses GPS as guidance or designation of a target, as a side note when will your GPS > HUD be releasing?
YAGoOaR  [author] 24 Jul, 2022 @ 3:08pm 
@ACE, yes
But use new missiles instead of this missiles
ACE 24 Jul, 2022 @ 5:48am 
does it use
X: Ch1
Y: Ch2
Z: Ch3 ?

@ReGeNs, there is a never, improved missile: link

Probably the best air defense I've ever seen. Are you going to improve it further?

I have uploaded my new and cool >> YG-M2 missiles << to workshop
YAGoOaR  [author] 27 May, 2022 @ 1:04pm 
@Pathfinder, yeah it does sometimes

Are you aware this can accurately intercept missiles? even supersonic ones like the AGM70
