AIM54 phoenix wouldn’t activate on track hold target

[Rmnsvn]

Situation: me fighting a Mig, launching a Phoenix. Mig notches me for a second and I lose track but it’s kept in track hold (TTG around 20 sec). Phoenix never activates on track hold target, flies past it. 
2 questions: is this intended behaviour? If yes, what is the purpose of track hold? 
I fly with Jester if that matters. 
Thanks in advance.

Have the same question as you!

When the radar loses the target, the tracking is not discarded immediately,there is still an expected countdown

But after the countdown, the radar did not command the Phoenix missile to start...

Perhaps, one of the developers couple reply? Track hold clearly is broken and doesn’t work at all. 
It’s far too easy to replicate. 
get a target in TWS, shoot a phoenix, if the target is lost before pitbul phoenix never gets activation command on the track hold target.
