Route 01
Choose guided or unguided fire deliberately#
Follow the target while guiding#
In the cited 2024 discussion, independent players describe using the launcher’s laser guidance to follow a target after firing. Keep your aim on the intended target while guiding the rocket. Unguided mode is a deliberate alternative when you do not want that steering behavior. Those dated reports explain the control choice; they do not establish current shots-to-kill thresholds or a universal best-launcher ranking.
