Giantearlessgnome Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 So yesterday I set up a custom mission to practice A to G in the M2000C (an aircraft I am rapidly falling in love with!). I set up some hard targets on the disused airfield north of Batumi (the one used in all the weapon training missions for the A10 and Mirage). I also set up an Sa-3 site (one launcher, TR and SR). I approached from the West at about 150ft, as I approached the Sa-3 locked on and launched at me however the missiles exploded 50ft/2secs after launch. Is this a bug? I havent encountered this in Nevada (the only other range I have set up in a similar manner). Could it be (due to my height) it couldn't track properly?

Enduro14 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 More than likely its the event of losing lock and Missiles self destruct... I get that allot in the A10c when im going low to evade missiles Intel 8700k @5ghz, 32gb ram, 1080ti, Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giantearlessgnome Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Ah ok, wasnt sure if that was realistic missile behaviour (self destruct when losing lock) . Cheers Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxJohnxx Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I would hate to be an air defense troop having my own missiles exploding right off the rail in front of me. That's unsafe at best. Super design. That's why missile selfe destruct is never automatic but instead a manual task. Either way, in a RL scenario the SAM crew would keep the missile flying towards the last known position and try to reaquire the target.

I doubt it will make difference but i might jack up the AI to excellent and see if that makes a difference.
