ARH Missile Guidance Failure Upon Reacquisition of TWS Track after Loss

[THE KING]

 This bug report is similar to the one I wrote up about two ago explaining how ARH missiles go ballistic upon complete loss of TWS tracking. 

 

However this one that I have discovered recently is much more of a game breaker and has robbed me a handful of kills within the last couple of weeks. If a TWS track is reacquired on a target after it is lost and after a fox three launch, the missile will continue to fly in a straight line, reverting to 1g flight. It will almost always miss the target. The only chance the missile has to hit the target is if when the seeker head goes active, the target is within its radar cone. However, this usually means the missile drastically has to correct its course to intercept the target resulting in a catastrophic loss of energy. I have included tracks outlining this bug for the Aim-120C, SD-10, and Aim-54C. All tracks were recorded in Open Beta 2.5.6.59625

For the AIM-54 thats how it works IRL, it cannot be recovered from a lost track, HB has stated that.

As for the AIM-120, according to one of the testers/staff this is intended behavior from ED, I do not know if this is how it works IRL.

SD-10 uses same AIM-120 scheme so its gonna do the same as an AMRAAM.

With regards to the Aim-120 and Sd-10, was this just recently implemented? I don’t seem to recall an Aim-120 or SD-10 I fired going stupid if I reacquired a TWS track on the target. Just this last update seemed to change it. As for the Aim-54, this behavior does make sense seeing as how it is an older missile.
