I can't imagine it would be possible for the engine to "track" the rate of change of your cross hair position continuously and then pull up that data for the last two seconds when you want to fire, and then apply that rate of change to the missile's path, causing the missile's angle of change to need to accelerate as it gets further from the firer.

That's like BF2 engine fail.

Why would you even think that would be possible?

Lock on after firing taking 2 seconds, instead of lock on before firing.

Lateral thinking there

If the SRAW were realistically implemented it would mean that tanks would be almost useless, because the number of available H-ATs is about equal to the number of available MBTs. Several mods have working Javelin systems ingame, but they are killer for gameplay.

The USI mod gave the tank's deployable smoke the ability to block lock-ons. Just put that in PR and then there's your balance. Tanks shoot off more than just smoke by the way.

That "that your target for 2 sec" will kinda fail in PR coz you'll most likely hit your targer in 2 sec.

is it not possible to delay the lock-on as it is delayed for the airplanes?

Please address this point before worrying about lock-on tones and whatnot. How would your idea possibly be coded? I understand that we both aren't coders, so give me a non-technical explanation.

here is my way of doing this, make the sraw track the lasertarget_object that the tanks have, give the saw a very small lock angle, give the missile a very small lock angle and a 2 sec lock on time and make it so that it will lose the lock very fast if you stop following the tank. this way you would have to keep your aim on the tank for 2 sec then you can fire, and it would then just track like a normal missile.
