YG M1 compact anti-air missile

The missile is made to place it on your own vehicle on a hardpoint connector.
You can use it against both air and ground targets.


YG M1 "Micro disaster"(name is fictional) is a radar-guided fire and forget anti-air missile that uses APN guidance system. The missile is designed to hit moving air targets(helis, planes, etc) (static targets too, of course). It can be used as surface-to-air, air-to-air, or anti-ground missile.

I remind that my best solution to hit fast and maneuvering air targets is still YG-6. But if you have some limits of missile size, you can use this compact version of the YG-6 missile. This missile is less maneuverable than YG-6, so for harder targets I recommend using full-size YG-6 missiles.

Missile's size is 14x3x3!

The missile uses relative angle guidance system(as on my YG-6 missiles) - now you can shoot missile in any pitch angle you want(except [-90°;-87°] and [87°;90°] because of broken tilt sensors) and it will still hit moving targets!

What does "relative angle system" mean?
Missile aligns the guidance coordinate system(horizontal plane of it) and angles that are influenced by it to the line of sight(LOS) of the target after the launch. LOS calculations become more precise, as missile's rotation is near it's horizontal plane because the missile does not suffer from high deltas of LOS and missile direction HDGs that could occure if missile pitch is high. It means that missile is accurate in any pitch angles.

Missile features:
-Relative angle system - missile can fly in high(and very low) pitch angles
-Simple moving missile's seeker. FOV increased to all 90° that allows to aim 45° off-boresight. (Other missiles usually have 45°x90° FOV each radar)
-Extremely fast speed
-Missile works in all aspects
-APN lead guidance system
-Smooth missile flight

Note that radars in stormworks are broken and they lock fallen trees and other land garbage so it may distract the missile if it gets in missile's fov.

Also please note that missiles work a bit worse in multiplayer because of bad netcode. But they still work in multiplayer.

How to use
At first, place the missile on a hardpoint connector on your vehicle (plane, missile launcher, etc).
Do not turn over missile in vehicle editor.
You can launch the missile by sending an "on" signal to hardpoint "Launch" on/off connection.

Make sure there is no obstacles in missile's FOV that can be locked by radar(fallen trees, crates, barrels, other vehicles, etc).

Make sure that the distance to the target is between 0.5 and 3km. May be less than 0.5km if the target is static and you aim well.

Try to aim the missile straight at the target and shoot.

Feel free to use this missile in your own creations but please include the link to this page if you upload a creation with the missile into workshop.

Thanks to OttoKatz for nice LA-17 target plane which I used in screenshots and video.
