SgtPappy Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 I noticed this in Blue Flag Syria 80/90s server today. It appears that the AIM-7 is having issues guiding right, almost like it has reverted back to the time when it does not pull more than 4G after running out of fuel. Take a look at the gif excerpt of my tacview (I can post the tacview file as well but it was huge since it was off the server so I'll have to try when I get home): AIM-7 last second pull and miss lookup vs hot aspect F-14 The F-14 lazily banks side to side popping chaff and I had a solid, look-up lock yet the AIM-7 didn't pull much until it missed at which point it just pointed straight up. Strangely, I have only ever noticed this against the F-14 and only this one pilot (not accusing it just happens that I noticed it happening when I fired at them). Additionally, you'll notice an AIM-9 miss as well despite the F-14 barely maneuvering and only popping flares at the last second which would never work for me (at least in the F-15). Furthermore, I noticed that the F-14 AIM-7s loft while the F-15's AIM-7s don't at around 15 nm or less, hot aspect. This has lead to me getting kills in the F-15 while I die in the F-14 since the AIM-7s are wasting their time going up in the F-14 while the F-15s missiles are halfway to their target. Anyone have similar issues?
