thodre Posted November 24, 2024 Posted November 24, 2024 Have to ask here before reporting a bug - maybe it's working as intended. Is it possible that back in the days shrikes also went for planes? Scenario: I'm high up going for an SA-6, WRCS, Shrikes with Mk. 36 seeker set to loft attack. There is a Fishbed at 12 which my buddy will take care of. As soon as the shrikes came off the rail they went for the Fishbed. Buddy fires a sparrow, the fishbed goes cold and the shrikes spiral down to the fields... Tacview track included. Now there are several questions 1. Am i misinterpreting the behaviour of the shrike? 2. If they really went for the Fisbed - are they supposed to do that? Have a nice Sunday!

Solution Zabuzard Posted November 24, 2024 Solution Posted November 24, 2024 note that shrike behavior once off the rail is controlled by ED, not us. so if u suspect a bug, ideally, direct it at them

Oh, so even the HARM did it... at least once.
