Dave317 Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 After i fire an AIM 7 at an enemy sometimes the radar swaps lock to the missile rather than the target and it just flys away harmlessly. This only happens if the missile flys through the lock diamond but if i aim off slightly it's fine.
Banzaiib Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 I could be wrong, but I think this implies that you're flying directly at your target... You might want to turn after firing to reduce the liklihood of this happening.
riboyster Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 This seems more like a realistic feature than a bug. -SnakeShit [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Peace through Superior Firepower EVERYTHING YOU'LL EVER NEED FOR LOMAC: http://flankertraining.com/ironhand/news.html
Longiron Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 I thought it was the AIM9 seeker I could swear I switched to aim9 once and sure enough it was following the sparrow, even seam locked it. Does the same if it’s looking at the sun if I recall.
GGTharos Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 This seems more like a realistic feature than a bug.It's not realistic. A locked target is range and Doppler gated, the radar should have no reason to switch off to a much different target.

Eldur Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Does that apply to PSTT as well? I mean, no Doppler there...
mrkline Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Yes, which is why you can maintain a PSTT lock even if the target is below you, so long as they don't get too close to the ground. You can even see the range gates on the DDD. From TFM:
