AGM-65D does not detonate on impact

[DavidL15]

Successfully launched an AGM-65D at a ground target.  Followed it in using the F6 view (as having problems using them) Missile successfully hit the target.  Only result was a "thud" noise as the missile hit. No explosion FX  and the target was undamaged.  The briefing screen registered the missile launch but nothing else.

I replayed your track, but the missile hits the ground, not the tank.

Hi Flappie,

 

Ok, must have been a very near miss.  Would this have accounted for the lack of any explosion effects?

Thanks

Well, that's what I call an explosion:

Now, why did the missile fail to each the target? I have no idea, since the tank appears locked on your SOI. Maybe you were too close? You can ask users in the F-16 section.

Hi Flappie,

Thanks for your help on this, but I think I need to go back to the drawing board as there is something more going on here.

I wasn't shooting at a tank, it was  a Ford pick up on one of the runways. Which is where the Maverick went (roughly)  (I followed it using the F6 view). 

Also, although I did put tanks on the map, they were a combination of T-90, T-72 & T-80. That looks like an M1

The WPN page view looks correct, but the TGP page view is most definitely  not what I was looking at.

I think I might just scrap the mission map entirely & start again from scratch as a few more issues have cropped.

 

Once again, thank you for your time & effort.
