APKWS not working properly on Kola Map

[Rocky49]

I have been trying to use the APKWS in a single player Mission I created on the Kola map.  I set up the rockets as per the training mission provided by PC. The rockets just fly off the KW and fly downrange until they run out of inertia.  My method of deployment works properly in other maps.  Is anybody else experiencing this?

It would be very strange that it depends on the map, but I can check.

I checked, no any issue, every APKWS rocket hit the target from the distance (one miss but it was my foul).

Sounds to me that you were in a hover, too close (less than 2km?) to the target and the APKWS didn't catch the laser or didn't have time to maneuver ...

I'll try targeting from further away and see if that is the solution.

I noticed if I am too high they do fly over the target. Going lower they hit

[Rocky49]

So I found I could not hit targets under 2300 Meters? no matter how high I was

I found I was too high for the shorter ranges.  had to find the right height for the range and terrain

It also helps to elevate the nose quite a bit and wait until the missile is partway to the target before lasing, otherwise it tends to fly straight at the target and waste all its energy on a direct path.

Or just dip the nose down?
