[WIP] HQ-7 Effectiveness

[RedPanda]

The current HQ-7 is the very much ineffective in game mainly due to accuracy problems of its missile. It tends to miss even on an aircraft that is simply flying straight. It took 4 HQ-7 launchers (2 Radar guided + 2 Optical guided) 14 HQ-7 missiles to bring down 2 F-5E flying straight towards the SAM battery.

The flight trajectory of the missile also seems weird and unrealistic. After miss the target, the missile will loop around and try to hit the target from the back. Some missile even could do a couple of loops before it ran out of energy and hit the ground. Please revise.

I currently use HQ-7 in an early Cold War setting. It's a great way to create an action filled mission with a very low risk of being shot down.

So might be bugged... but in a good way

it's a pain now, will rework its script later.

the root cause was making it a player controllable unit.

thinking about removing control feature and removing the EO unit

Would love to see a fix as soon as you guys can, it is nearly useless now. I'm personally fine with you removing player use.
