FIM-92F Stinger

Sign in to edit

NOTE: This article is about FIM-92A/FIM-92F Stingers featured in the main ARMA games. For its U.S. military counterpart in ArmA 3's CSLA Iron Curtain Creator DLC, see FIM-92 (CSLA).


The FIM-92F Stinger (alternately FIM-92 Stinger, FIM-92 or simply the Stinger) is a 70 mm surface-to-air missile launcher featured in ArmA: Cold War Assault, ArmA: Armed Assault, and ArmA 2.

It is also confirmed[1][2] to return as a usable shoulder-fired launcher weapon in ARMA 4.


ArmA: Cold War Assault[]

« The Stinger missile, a full-dimensional protection weapon, is the Army's system for short-range air defense that offers ground forces some protection against low-altitude airborne targets such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles, and cruise missiles.

The FIM-92 Stinger is used exclusively by U.S. military forces in ArmA: Cold War Assault.

Overview[]

The FIM-92 is a portable, shoulder-launched, surface-to-air missile launcher.

It is designed to launch missiles fitted with high-explosive fragmentation (HE-Frag) warheads. The FIM-92's sight is not magnified and uses a dual-circle reticle for aiming.

The FIM-92 is the standard-issue SAM launcher of the U.S. military. It serves as a short-ranged, infrared-guided SAM launcher that is optimised for taking down helicopters and low-flying fixed-wing aircraft. Each missile is quite bulky and occupies up to six inventory slots.[CWACfgW 3] This prevents its user from being able to carry more than one missile at a time, and essentially turns the FIM-92 into a single-shot weapon unless another member of the squad carries spare missiles for the operator.

Despite this drawback, the FIM-92 is extremely effective against every aircraft in Cold War Assault, with a single hit usually being more than enough to bring down (if not outright destroy) any helicopter or jet.[CWACfgA 1]

Stinger Missile

The Stinger can only load one type of missile.[CWACfgW 4] It occupies six[CWACfgW 3] inventory slots:

Parameter Value
Base damage value 400[CWACfgA 1]
Splash damage value 150[CWACfgA 2]
Blast radius (metres) 2[CWACfgA 3]
Launch velocity (m/s) 30[CWACfgW 5]
Maximum speed (m/s) 350[CWACfgA 4]

Stinger missiles are always hard launched with an initial velocity of 30 m/s.[CWACfgW 5] They take a further 3 seconds[CWACfgA 5] of flight time after launch to attain a top speed of 350 m/s.[CWACfgA 4] The warhead itself has a blast radius of 2 metres.[CWACfgA 3]

Trivia[]

  • Before the release of Patch 1.10 for Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (Cold War Assault's original name before its re-release), a bug would cause the player's view to spin around if they were carrying an empty FIM-92 launcher on their back.[4]
  • Prior to Patch 1.30, Stinger missiles could perform instantaneous, split-second midair turns until the patch removed this "capability".[5]

The FIM-92F Stinger 70 mm missile launcher.
The FIM-92F Stinger 70 mm missile launcher.

The FIM-92F Stinger is used by both U.S. Army and RACS military forces in ArmA: Armed Assault.

Overview[]

The FIM-92F is an updated model of the older Cold War-era FIM-92A. It is the U.S. Army's primary SAM launcher but is also utilised by Sahranian military forces.

The FIM-92F's missiles take up six inventory slots apiece.[A1CfgM 2] Unless other members of the squad haul a spare missile for the operator, FIM-92Fs are essentially single-shot launchers just like in Cold War Assault. Damage-wise, the FIM-92F's missiles are usually powerful enough to inflict critical damage upon most helicopters and jets in a single hit.[A1CfgA 1]

Stinger Missile

The FIM-92F can load and fire only one type of missile.[A1CfgW 3] Each missile requires six[A1CfgM 2] free inventory slots in order to carry:

Parameter Value
Base damage value 70[A1CfgA 1]
Splash damage value 45[A1CfgA 2]
Warhead type High-Explosive
Blast radius (metres) 7[A1CfgA 3]
Launch velocity (m/s) 5[A1CfgM 3]
Maximum speed (m/s) 800[A1CfgA 4]

Stinger missiles are always launched with an initial velocity of just 5 m/s.[A1CfgM 3] The missile's motor will ignite 0.15 seconds after launch.[A1CfgA 5] It will take a further 2.5 seconds[A1CfgA 6] of flight time for the Stinger to attain a top speed of 800 m/s.[A1CfgA 4]

The missile's warhead has a blast radius of 7 metres.[A1CfgA 3] It only has enough fuel for a flight time of 20 seconds. It will automatically explode if it does not manage to hit its target before its fuel runs out.[A1CfgA 7]

Trivia[]

  • Upon Armed Assault's release, Stinger missiles were initially capable of highly unrealistic flight profiles.
    • Regardless of how hard an aircraft manoeuvred or flew, they would continue making split-second turns to home in onto their targets with pinpoint accuracy. Depending on the trajectory of the aircraft and the user's launch position, it was even possible to see Stingers making 90 degree perpendicular turns one second after being fired.
    • This was partially addressed following Patch 1.02, which greatly reduced the Stinger's manoeuvrability and eliminated its ability to perform physically impossible turns.[7]
  • Like most launcher-type weapons, the user is never shown holding the FIM-92F by its grip and incorrectly wields (and reloads) the launcher like an M136.

The FIM-92F Stinger 70 mm missile launcher.
The FIM-92F Stinger 70 mm missile launcher.

The FIM-92F Stinger is used by several BLUFOR and INDFOR factions in ArmA 2.

Overview[]

Returning from Armed Assault, the FIM-92F continues to serve as the primary SAM launcher of BLUFOR factions but is also utilised by Chernarussian guerilla fighters and mercenaries as well.

ArmA 2's FIM-92F still loads and fires 70 mm IR-guided missiles with HE warheads. The launcher's seeker takes 3 seconds to lock onto a valid target.[A2CfgW 4] It has a 20% chance to have its lock get temporarily disrupted by flare-based countermeasures.[A2CfgW 5]

The FIM-92F's missiles remain unchanged from Armed Assault when it comes to direct-impact damage.[A2CfgA 1] However, its splash radius has been expanded to 8 metres (an increase of ~ 13%)[A2CfgA 2] and also inflicts ~ 10% more area-of-effect damage against aircraft caught in the blast zone.[A2CfgA 3]

Speed-wise, ArmA 2's Stinger missiles are directly comparable to the 9M39 missile used by Russian 9K38s as they can attain a top speed of up to 750 m/s.[A2CfgA 4] The in-flight manoeuvrability of its missiles are much better compared to the 9K32's Strelas.[A2CfgA 5] As a result, the FIM-92F is one of the two best SAM launchers in ArmA 2, behind only the 9K38 in terms of effectiveness.

Sight[]

Arma2-stinger-ironsight-overview

The FIM-92F's sight cannot be manually zeroed. Lock-ons are still possible even when the launcher's sight is not pointed directly at the target aircraft.

Stinger Missile

The FIM-92F can be loaded with only one type of missile.[A2CfgW 6] Each missile will occupy up to six[A2CfgM 2] inventory slots:

Parameter Value
Base damage value 70[A2CfgA 1]
Splash damage value 50[A2CfgA 3]
Warhead type High-Explosive
Blast radius (metres) 8[A2CfgA 2]
Launch velocity (m/s) 40[A2CfgM 3]
Maximum speed (m/s) 750[A2CfgA 4]

Infrared-guided missile.[A2CfgA 6][note 1]

Stingers are always fired with an initial velocity of 40 m/s.[A2CfgM 3] The missile's motor will ignite 0.2 seconds after launch[A2CfgA 7], and will require a further 2.5 seconds of flight time[A2CfgA 8] to attain a top speed of 750 m/s.[A2CfgA 4]

The missile's warhead has a blast radius of 8 metres.[A2CfgA 2] Its seeker has a 20% chance to have its lock broken by flare-based countermeasures.[A2CfgA 9] Stingers only have enough fuel for 14 seconds of flight. The missile will automatically self-destruct if it does not hit its target by the time its fuel expires.[A2CfgA 10]

Trivia[]

  • For unknown reasons, the Stinger's in-game tooltip[10] erroneously refers to it as an "Anti-tank missile launcher" even though the Stinger is not capable of functioning as a surface-to-surface anti-ground vehicle weapon.
  • Prior to Patch 1.60 for Operation Arrowhead (standalone OA, pre-End-of-Life update), a bug would cause the AI to fire Stinger missiles at enemy infantry units that were too far away for them to engage with their primary weapon.[11]
The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.
  • Curiously, certain scripts for ArmA 3's End Game showcase (added with the Apex expansion) have comments and classnames that reference a munition for what could have been a Stinger-type weapon (Classname: M_NAAL_F).[12][13]
    • Given the script's comments explicitly referring to the munition's classname as a placeholder however, the Stinger (or its equivalent) was most likely scrapped early in Apex's development.[12]
    • The release of the Tanks DLC would finally add the Stinger, albeit only as a vehicle-mounted weapon in the form of SAAMI missiles used on the AWC Nyx light tank.
