[FIXED INTERRNALLY] HARM bugs with moving sam

I'm actually using openbeta 2.5.5.33184, not latest.

HARM does bug when fired against a moving SAM (here in the track, a SA15 Thor) :

HARM missile locks the point the SA15 was when firing, but not the radar source that is moving and still emitting. So the moving sam is undestructible using HARM.

HARM doesn't lock on to radiation source

The HARM won't lock on the radiation source, but rather its coordinates.

I've made a simple mission to demonstrate it, with a moving SA-15. White smoke is marking its initial position and then, every time I fire off a HARM, a different smoke marker appears at the position it was when I fired.

If you look at the screenshot, all four HARMs hit at the spot where it was when I fired them, even though the SA-15 itself was close by and still emitting.

The HARM is an anti-radiation missile that locks on a source of radiation. Only in PB mode will it guide itself to specific coordinates and that is only if the radiation source in question stops emitting.

There is historical precedence of an F-4G hitting an airborne B-52G's tail, because it accidentally locked on its tail gun radar.

HARM against moving target bug.trk

I have another scenario (with a short track), and I wonder if it is also not a bug, like moving sam, or different case where HARM should have homed on sam's radar :

A fixed SA15 is fired at with HARM-c, then the SA15 moves for 50-80 meters and stops, so during the last 40 seconds of HARM's flight the SAM is fixed and emitting (but not attacking HARM because this option is disabled).

In this case the HARM still hit the initial position of SA15 (before displacing 50-80m). Is it normal ? or HARM should have homed on SA-15's radar during the last 40 seconds of flight ?

Edit : reading this quote : "In all modes the HARM employs flex logic, and will automatically acquire the next highest value (priority) target should the intended target go off the air. This ensures that the weapon is not wasted once it is committed." from this page : https://www.ausairpower.net/API-AGM-88-HARM.html , under HARM C section, I imagine that in the scenario of the track the first Harm should have "re-acquired" the SA15 when stopped moving during the last 40s.

OK - Thank you.

Edit : Works nice now, against displaced Sam or moving Sam.
