lhsmithnet1 Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 In the past couple weeks, I have not hit a singular sidewinder. All were spoofed by flares. Is this an issue or just me having asshat luck?
G.J.S Posted January 12, 2022 Posted January 12, 2022 Would likely be more productive to see a video or something - that way any possible flaws or faults can be disseminated. Which model of 'Winder? Launched in, out, or on edge of envelope? Fleeting shot? Had you worked yourself into a good position and range, to give your shot the best starting point? Many, many variables can have an effect on whether your missile connects - or just frightens. - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -

Many, many variables can have an effect on whether your missile connects - or just frightens. Most of my shots were rear aspect, as I do a lot of sneaking. All shots were at the very least in envelope, so yeah. I think Raphomet's comment proves this is a problem that isn't just luck. It's specific to the 14. Sidewinder 9M so yeah.
Naquaii Posted January 13, 2022 Posted January 13, 2022 Just to make sure, you guys are uncaging it before firing it? 3
IronMike Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 What @Naquaii said, plus keep in mind: the aim9s on the Tomcat are exactly the same as the ones on the Viper. We do not curate the aim9s at all. 1 Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/
Swordsman422 Posted January 14, 2022 Posted January 14, 2022 One has to wonder, if the Sidewinder is broke, have you considered loaning it some money to get back on its feet, financially? Ignore me. I'll see myself out... 6
lhsmithnet1 Posted January 15, 2022 Author Posted January 15, 2022 I use sidewinders all the time in the 14 (good or bad, you decide) so I definitely know how to use them and I definitely think something is a bit jank with them recently.

Be that how it may, it is an issue to be addressed to ED then, as again, we do not curate the sidewinders. They are the same sidewinders as on any other module.
