## 1. Overview
### 1.1 Guidance
HOT missile is a wire-guided SACLOS weapon. It requires the shooter to provide constant aiming in order to hit its target.
### 1.2 Attack profiles
The missile requires line of sight to the target at all times. Keep your crosshair on the target as the missile cruises toward it until impact.
If you lose line of sight the missile will stop tracking toward your crosshair and will fly on its current trajectory. You can regain control if the missile re-enters line of sight.
If the missile exceeds its maximum range the wire will snap and it will fly off in a random direction.
### 1.3 Missile Types
There are 4 HOT missiles included
- HOT 1: Able to penetrate around 800mm RHA. Max range is 4000 meters. HEAT
- HOT 2: Able to penetrate around 900mm RHA. Max range is 4000 meters. HEAT
- HOT 2MP: Anti-Infantry. Contains 1000 steel balls that scatter on impact. Also contains a chemical incendiary device which has a kill radius of around 20 meters. Able to penetrate around 350mm RHA. Max range is 4000 meters. HE
- HOT 3: Able to penetrate around 1250mm RHA. Max range is 4300 meters. Tandem HEAT
## 2. Usage
- Select the HOT launcher and aim toward your target. Once you fire the weapon you must keep your crosshair on the target until impact. Note: The HOT missile sits 0.5 meters above the crosshair
- If the missile exceeds 4000 meters (4300 meters for the HOT 3) the wire will snap and you will lose control over the missile.
- If the missile is 30 degrees outside of your current crosshair position the seeker will not be able to find the missile and you will lose control over it.
## 3 Adding to vehicles
