Overview

When merged this pull request will:

Navigation types:

  • Direct Line of Sight
  • Proportional Navigation
  • Augmented Proportional Navigation (takes into account target acceleration)
  • Zero-Effort Miss (separate form of proportional navigation that allows for a more efficient intercept)

Changes flight model of weapons to utilise in-engine calculations of velocity. This avoids issues where the missile will lose all of its energy and hang in the air. This also allows for "bang-bang" guidance weapons, such as the GBU-12.

Merge Strategy
