How to One Shot Everyone with Missiles: The Guide | Star Citizen 3.19.1

"Quantity over quality". -- Except due to Star Citizen's bogus lack of damage scaling, smaller missiles have better damage, so they have both quantity and quality. Size 4 missiles are utterly useless because not only are they slow but they do poor damage for the amount of rack space they take. For instance, compare the damage from a salvo of 4 Dominator IIs vs. 1 Raptor IV that takes the same space. There's no comparison.

What best missile for little ship and big ship proxy are usefull for hercule or hammerhead ?

you did NOT just pronounce meta like that

Who knew missiles with Jazz.

Excellent video, thank you.

Hi. Thanks for the video! Awesome shooting! I am new to game. I fly an Arrow and was using Taskforce 1 and not having much luck. Not doing the top down shot method. Was suggested to change missiles to Arrow 1 racks are MSD-221 and 341's. The Arrow 1 is infrared. So I should return to the Taskforce 1 on my Arrow and do the shot from above and behind target? And just to note.. I fly directly at my target and lock on, full solid green lock and fire off 4 missiles. I do not think I have killed anything yet in that volley. I almost always end up finishing target with laser repeaters. I am doing something wrong. Thanks!

Thank you sir , i will use this until CIG FIX

Hey. Does this still work?

and here's me still trying to figure out how to launch multiple missiles at once lol

With Master Modes, this will be necessary for ships wanting to defend themselves against laser-vomit ships. Needing to learn more

been ages, do rattlers still split into several misiles? also how do flares work vs missiles?

I'm guessing this strat still stands in 3.21? Even the top down launch for s1 missle one shots?😊

Why EM missiles specifically? Are they harder to flare off or is there some other benefit to them?

Is there a ship for this type of gameplay but also has a turret for a 2nd crew?

How use that tactics with Corsair? Missals are at right wing, how should I aim it. Also I I can put quantity over quality and add 32 S1 taskforce and need to fight something bigger like Andromeda would be enough? I think that it wouldn't took shields off that good.

Question: do you have to hold the lock for the missile to keep tracking? Or can you fully lock, launch the missile, and then switch back to guns?

How to aim like that with Andromeda side S1 missals? And I don't know from witch side will fire...

If it was IRL. yeah, winning > Fair.
In a game I prefer my fights fair. In fact I prefer slightly unfair in advantage of my enemy over myself as I find winning without any real contest to be boring and un-interesting.

cherry picking and setup missile shots whole video is fake

those aren't missiles those are Torps>.>

there is no missile meta lol >.> i own all the bombers lol they suck and dont hit living pilots lol ...missiles boats in SC are PVE only ships

yea fking right ....any good pilot can just roll them off

you say always use EM, why? whats wrong with infrared or CM? surely there are use cases? or is it really that unbalanced?

Well it's not about being fair so much as what you're doing is exploiting a game mechanic that actually imbalanced and broken. You're therefore removing the challenge of the fight to begin with. Which in turn will get you those insults. I don't disagree that the best way to fight is to overwhelm your target and take advantage of their weaknesses but that usually means either out flying them(which you are technically not doing by using a known and considered broken exploit by the devs) or by using numbers in such a way they are overwhelmed in that fashion. Even that said the current flight models are so broken that real fights where you're not nose to nose or not constantly super speeding away are almost non existent. Eventually this will all change and you will have to learn how to REALLY fight.

Awesome guide. Thanks!

Sound explanation and good Advice. Just watch out for the bug that makes it so that you cannot change your missiles out. In this case you just have to use what you have.

why em missiles?

What's the logic with the top down missle? If you're in space and the enemy can be in any orientation how does that effect that tactic?

What are your thoughts on the size 1 vanduul 'Arrow' missiles?

I mean...all of the targets in this are sitting still. Tried this method multiple times with EM missiles and the missiles still almost never actually hit anything.

Oh lol. I thought that was a video about real missiles. Like the ones How you defend your PC against a France tank with a baguett.

Thanks for the tips. I'm a terrible pilot... but this way I might survive a fight or two. 😂

I did this the other day by accident!! I was doing MRT group PVE and fired a missle at a vanny harbinger. Shot it with distortions to soften it up before the missile hit though. Took one shot and I was pleasantly surprised. Checked target HUD and according to it, the vanguard was completely intact, and the red was pretty close to the cockpit area. I think the splash damage got the pilot inside? Because otherwise, virtually nothing was damaged.

However, I was flying a vanny sentinel at the time and had the most uncomfy ".... huh." moment. 🤔🤔😂😂

Gave a 👍🏼 for using a talon 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love those ships

Just swarm rattler 2's, they break into shit tons of smaller missiles

Racist!!! So you know black peoples are Native American Moors of Tartaria and we built this whole country before the mud flood hit… every city was already built before you lazy hybrid Europeans came over here as children… look it up you ignorant racist… you were one of my favorite people and gave you praise to others… not anymore!!!

"your here to win"

do you know why its sometimes not possible to get a full lock on targets? they arent using any countermeasures and the lock on circle just stays red and isnt getting smaller

Didn’t expect narration by Ron Swanson.

Especially from the old crazy CR 5 TR player

The missiles right now are absolute garbage. The way they yo yo back and forth. The fact smaller missiles can do the same amount of damage as larger missiles? I mean who the hell made this crap and thought any of this was a good idea? I remember when countermeasures worked like countermeasures and missiles actually work like missiles. They said gold standard on missiles 4 years ago. What the hell is this steaming pile of shit we have now?

So I guess that's why I got one shot 3 times at ghost hollow this week despite spamming flares. Maybe it's time to relax in some NMS

Im a missile boat guy, but s1 missiles shouldnt exist for fighters. S2 should be the minimum, with s1 being shoulder fired/ground vehicle fired, short range deterrents. Nice strat though. Will be valid for a fair amount of time cause CIG wont rework missiles for a while.

there are 2 EM size 1 missles. Which is the better and why? How do you know?

Okay....but why do my missiles fly like they are drunk?

"You are not here to fight fair, you are here to win." Love it. Best advice for the verse.

I don’t understand how you are making the missiles fly “up and down.” In the video, it looks like the target is close to the nose of your ship. So whether or not your missiles are under your wings, in the fuselage, etc., isn’t it close to a straight line to the target.

Very good video, I’m just a nube. Thanks.

Mine never seem to even hit...

Wait... There's people that complain that you use missiles.....

i know ems in general as the way to go but what is your opinion on rattlers considering those are clusters missiles and most defiantly are on the quantity side of things the draw back is they are IR missiles
