cannot reproduce SA-5 misses high-parameter targets at long range

[Tasmanian]

Hello,

I observed the following issue:

When SA-5 fires on high-parameter targets at long range, the missiles self-destruct.

The track shows an SA-5 engaging a target at 21km altitude, ~45km parameter. The target uses no ECM or chaff and doesn't maneuver. (Reaction to threat = none, ECM=off)

Missiles are fired at a distance of about 200km. Missiles do a sharp turn towards the calculated intercept point and explode shortly after. I assume, they lose the target as it goes outside of their field of view.

Regards,

Yury

I just set up a new test mission and I am not seeing this. Let me know if you are. Thanks.
