Missiles are always a touchy subject especially to those who like SAM hunting or BVR. While its just my opinion I prefered missiles in Falcon 4 over missiles in LOMAC. And missiles in Janes F18 were fun to play around with but were painfully easy to spoof. I think Janes did a nice job on modeling but I felt it was too easy to force an overshoot.
I spent most of my time flying online and missile modeling may be different online vs. offline. But online pilots could do a rolling manuever and easily spoof the missile. The missile would try to track a particular spot on the aircraft and once the aircraft would start to roll the missile was still trying to hit that spot. What ended up happening was the missile would miss, just barely and whiz right by without proximity fusing. Needless to say once people started noticing this it was being heavily exploited online. Not everybody was doing it but that didn't really matter. If you were going head to head vs. someone who knew about this it would become a missile slinging match in hopes that one missile might actually hit. If the missile would simply have proximity fused there would be no problem. But unfortunately they didn't.
Those 2 things added to the fact that everybody wanted to fly with external views really put a damper on it for me.
