AIM-92

"A wingtip-mounted heat-seeking air-to-air missile."

― Weapon Description

The AIM-92 Stinger, also known as ATAS is a pair of two short-range heat-seeking air-to-air missiles exclusive to the AH-94.

Usage

Unlike other IR-guided missiles in VTOL VR, the AIM-92 has no customizable deployment options in the EQUIP menu. Its deployment method is analogous to the Uncaged mode in other heat-seeking missiles in the game.

Due to its origins as a defensive, man-portable weapon system, it has a more limited range in comparison to other IR guided air-to-air missiles, instead acting as a deterrent for hostile aircraft.

It is best used against aircraft from close range when they have little time to maneuver or react to the incoming missile. Regular fighters such as the ASF-30 will die from a single hit, but GAV-25 attacker aircraft require two direct hits to kill.

Deployment

1. Enable the Master Arm switch.
2. Select the AIM-92 as your current weapon.
3. Point the targeting reticle in the center of your HUD directly onto the target.
4. Hold the trigger on your cyclic to achieve a lock.
5. Press the weapon release button to fire the missile. The missile will now guide itself to the target.
