Yeah this is the laziest way I could come up with to grind points for the event, and I'm not even going to pretend this took any skill outside of memorizing launch parameters and keybinds. Brain-off gameplay ftw.Missile-only Ace w/ F-14A (War Thunder) - The Low Effort Grind^tmflamethorn772022-09-17 | Love EC maps so I can get the speed to pull off these launches.

Book is Skyward Atlas at lvl 80WT - Testing stable thrust-vectored IR AAMs.flamethorn772020-12-07 | (reupload due to a few encoding quality issues) I figured out why missiles are so wobbly in WT and went out to fix it (test fly literally any jet with an Aim-9B and follow the missile with ordnance camera to see for yourself, will upload example video of that later if they ever fix that)
TL;DR Gaijin set the center of mass too far from the stabilizer (think levers/see saw), and said stabilizer is for some reason constantly rotating while in flight. Combine both effects and you got a missile that will struggle to fly without spiraling towards their target. Will put in more technical description of what I did later.
