fixed AI always lose radar lock on its first Fox-1 launch.

[Skuva]

Upon firing its first missile at ranges above no escape zone the AI will always lose lock and the missile will go dumb.

This problem is much more noticeable when the target is cold. Tested multiple times, the AI will always miss the first shot, while the Player always hit the target on the first shot.

I'm posting 2 tracks. One with the AI set to launch R-27's at a big target from halfway max range. The other is me trying to replicate the same engagement.

This behaviour could be related to this other problem:

Although it has been observed to also happen with AI carrying Aim-7's (to a lesser extent).

I confirm that the behavior of the radar is strange since the last update and this for the Radar of the F18. Not AI. The loss of locking is recurrent in fox 1. Even when the antenna is changed to medium Prf at this time. I have the impression that from a certain defensive angle close to the notch, there is unfortunately nothing to do; the lock is lost. Very strange. I would say even more; very disagreeable.
