List of smokeless vs smoke trail missiles


Hovis

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Is it possible to get a quick breakdown of which missiles, both air launched and SAM have either a smoke trail or are smokeless.

 

Either I'm going nuts or some that did have trails now don't and I never any documentation about it.

 

Plus it's very useful to know when coming up against a certain SAM site or aircraft and which missiles are likely carried by said aircraft

I also am interested in this. I asked about the missing smoke on the Rapier, but got no response.

On a side note, i'm really wishing they add contrails for all missiles, both smokey and smokeless ones, it adds a lot to the inmersion and also important to detect missiles coming from high altitude.

 

 

They won't if its not realistic

Missile contrails depends on humidity conditions be the missile smokeless or not. So yes it is realistic for ALL missiles under CERTAIN conditions.

 

 

You name it, under certain conditions. That did sound more like putting contrails on all missiles in general to have a spotting aid

Not my intention. I said "spotting missiles coming from high altitude", which is where normally contrails are visible. But just to clarify, I want only realistic contrails.

PD: according to last Wags podcast, ED is working on the foundation of a humidity simulation within the weather engine, in order to have realistic vapor effects. I think missile contrails will be second.
