See .trk. Missile should track target at this range, especially with the environment set to -5°C afaik, so the seeker definitely has a high contrast with target... Missile flies near horizontal. If target altitude is increased by only a few hundred feet, missile tracks totally fine.

Hi @D4n. Thanks for the heads up. I've been firing a lot of Stinger missiles to see where the Stinger loses its marbles.

  • If the altitude difference < 550 meters, no tracking issue.
  • If the altitude difference is less > 550, the missile will only track if the target is far enough from the Stinger unit.

And then I switched to Igla: the Igla missile follows its target as expected whatever the altitude difference.

Issue reported. 👍

550metersdiff_not OK then OK.trk

Thanks so much! You're my hero! 😊 Now I can't wait for ejected-canopy-collision on TF-51 as next feature... 😈 turning TF-51s into 1-shot fighter aircraft 😈

ED, bug STILL present in PvP servers and it's SUPER annoying!! Am not getting player-kills because of it, it's only wasting quite a bit of my time and wasting the MANPADS missiles! 😭

Hi,

I just ran into this as i'm having trouble having manpad to shoot at target below their own altitude. It seems the problem is still there.

Ai MANPADS, or when you control it in first person?

You know what has been the weirdest ED bug so far, regarding manpads? At one point 1-3 years ago, Ai manpads missiles had quite higher hitrate than player-fired manpads... (Maybe they even still do, we'd have to test) it was cursed 😛 I found out when I stopped 1st-person-controlling my TF-51 deployed manpads units on a PvP server some time ago.
