falken76 Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Is this a bug? When I get in a dogfight and get hit with a missle it usually destroys me or seriously cripples my plane. Sometimes I'll line up an enemy and we both fire missles, sometimes the AI locks me up before I can lock on them, so I keep heading in their direction to lock them up, fire off an amramm, twist to pull away, fire one more then dive to start dodging the missle. A few times I took to long to start the manuvers and the missle gets too close. I seriously don't think there's any way I could have dodged these, I was diving and dropping flare and chaff, but I heard the missle blow up and it clearly hit me, but there was no damage. I test the controls and it appears there was no effect by the missle. I check external view w/ f2 and there's no damage. Did the Chaff or Flare divert the missle and it exploded right next to me but didn't cause damage or something? Or is this a bug? Sometimes I don't feel like I should have made it through a fight because this happens every once in a while.
sslechta Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Yes, if you read this forum and some of the open beta forums, you'll see several posts about this same topic. It is a known issue at the moment without a fix.

GGTharos Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 If the missile explodes far from the aircraft it won't cause much or maybe any damage, depending on distance. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
