AGM-88 HARM

Funky-Trees Anti-Radiation Missile!

1:1 replica of the AGM-88 missile and its targeting pod. No part of this missile is guided by gyros or in-game default missiles!!!

Player Usage

• Go to either AirToAir or AirToGround mode, select the missile, select a target, and press Fireweapons button (Left alt on PC)
• If you are on mobile even though the Fireweapons button is greyed out you can still press it to launch the missile
• If you are far enough away from the target, the missile will automatically begin a lofting sequence.

Problems & Limitations

• All funky trees missiles have a hard time orienting themselves when pointed straight up or down
• The missile's performance may depend on your device
• Since the missile can be made to travel a great distance, even if your device is well-performing, the missile may cause performance issues regardless.
• At short ranges, the missile may not properly collide with the ground and may not blow up and simply fly through terrain due to the burnout speed being quite fast.
• When hitting a ship, the missile tends to simply make the ship disappear... IDK how it happens, but it does happen.

Notes

Integrating lofting with proportional navigation is apparently a non-trivial matter that plagued me for a long time. However, I'd recently been able to resolve the issue and now have been able to not only begin retrofitting missiles with the system, but also create a lofting program according to more scientific methods. In short, the program attempts to maximize total energy gain during the boosting phase and minimize energy lost in the gliding phase by changing the pitch angle of the missile. As you will see, this system is simple in concept and extremely effective.
