[DCS BUG] AIM-54 vertical zig-zacs

[some1]

It seems that when fired at targets that are dropping chaff or jamming the AIM-54 is doing some weird zig-zacs in vertical plane. It may be related to seeker switching to other mode of tracking, but it looks weird from the outside, and the missile pulls 10g manoeuvres killing all its energy in the process.

 

I have a training mission where you can see that the missile firing on Il-76 tracks nicely, while the ones fired at Tu-95 and Tu-22 bleed the energy quickly making sharp turns.

 

Also notice that enemy aircraft starts dropping chaff immediately when fired upon from 55 km in TWS, automagically knowing that he is the target of the missile. Maybe it's time to kick some butts at ED to finally fix the situational awareness of AI units.
