thodre Posted November 25 Posted November 25 Not sure if it is 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?

At most, one could discuss whether the frequencies are correct. 1
thodre Posted November 25 Author Posted November 25 In a different thread a user posted a story about a B-52 that got hit by a AGM-88 which targeted the tail gun radar. So i guess it's possible, since the HARM should be the smarter of the two missiles. Fun fact: After the accident the B-52 got the name "in HARM's way". Don't know if the story is true or not, at least it's entertaining https://www.twz.com/10314/the-time-a-f-4g-wild-weasels-anti-radiation-missile-blew-apart-a-b-52s-tail 1
