I wish the missiles weren't absolute garbage :(

What?

Well =P.

 

They are not.

 

Atleast if you are talking about the ones who start with Matra.

 

The Magic does not really have any significant problems.

 

If you get a solid lock and fire within the launch perameters you have a very good chance of the missile hitting.

 

And for the Super 530 the only real problems it has had are radar related and not really missile related.

(as if missiles miss when you loose radar lock you cant really blame the missile).

 

I only really play MP and id say my hit percentages for the missiles are very good.

 

About 65-70% for the magic IIs and 40-45% for the Super 530 (which is not that bad for a BVR SARH missile.

 

(and some of my misses are radar related so when the radar is perfected the 530 aught to be pretty good for a SARH missile).

 

Any missile will miss if launched outside parameters or in the wrong situation.

 

So those misses cant really be blamed on the missile.

The Super can be notched so easily and yes, the homing leaves much to be desired, mainly because it is so easy to lose a lock every now and then just turning slightly (not meaning a 90 degreee turn). Supposedly they are better heads-on. I have yet to see it. And the magics... Even a fart will distract them.

Did you try Su 27, MiG 29A or F-15C + AIM-7M to see how you do with Fox 1 in general ?

[ZHeN]

can't agree with all this moaning on missiles not hitting targets ... as for me - one of the highest kill ratios... may be even way too high. I don't really use 530s in BVR though ... usual launch range for me is ~10nmi (when TIR is on) in CCM mode (so radar could never lose lock) - that's how I get high kill ratio

[Frederf]

Locked in CCM and locked in PIC are exactly the same. If one type of lock is breaking more easily there is something wrong with the sim.

[ZHeN]

Locked in CCM and locked in PIC are exactly the same.

yeah I know, but in case radar loses lock, it re-locks again by itself, cause it's in CCM mode
