AIM-7F/M Problems

[Prez]

I haven't seen much reporting of this issue, or at least no reporting of it as of late. These problems have been affecting the F-14 for several months now.

1. The AIM-7F does not guide when launched outside of 5-6NM from a target. They will never guide and just come off the rail as if they're dead.AIM-7F test.acmi

2. The AIM-7M lofts at most ranges even though it of course shouldn't be lofting as the MH is the only one that should be. AIM-7M test.acmi

 

So I want to know where in the pipeline are the fixes for these bugs are? I can understand that this has not been a top priority as everyone would rather use a phoenix missile and I know you guys at HB are working on further improvements to it. But the bugs on the sparrow make them essentially useless on the Tomcat when they are a mainstay of the jet. Are there fixes in the works? Is this at least being considered? Or am I simply way off base here by asking HB about this and should instead direct it to ED?

I hope this was finally fixed in today's patch.

Bump. Can confirm that the AIM-7M on the Tomcat is still lofting.

Should be fixed for the next Tomcat update
