Mavericks for air to air use

[Tango777]

In the A-10C, I used to be able to take out an air threat with a Maverick's onboard camera if I were to be out of my Aim-9s. In the A-10C II, I can lock onto the air threat without a problem just like in the A-10C. But the problem is that in the A-10C II, the Maverick's camera does not remain locked on to the airborne target after I fire it. Instead the Maverick just continues to fly straight, and then it pitches down and into the ground.

We need to find out if using Mavs in A/A is realistic. It might have been fixed if it isn't.

It isn’t

The Swedish equivalent on the DCS Viggen was dubbed the "Terminator" missile because it would turn 180 degrees to run down a fleeing opponent.

I see. The reason I would use them as a last resort was because I saw some tutorials on the matter on youtube.

I've used them on slow moving, very low helos in the past, that strikes me as somewhat plausible. Using them against a flying plane is definitely not realistic.

Anyone tried using an APKWS in A2A?

After all, they travel at Mach 3

In the past I have only used them on rotary-wing aircraft and not fixed-wing aircraft.

Used AGM-65 against heavy choppers from time to time. Probably not realistic at all, but quite effective in DCS World.

Quite good if circumstances allow the use of it against air targets.
