Xhonas Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) When an enemy aircraft launches a missile, the aim-120 switch targets to the missile that the enemy launched. Although its not unrealistic for radars to be able to track missiles, it makes no sense for the missile to switch targets in this situation, since the missile is flying in totally different parameters than the enemy aircraft. Speed, acceleration, los rate change... trackfile attached AiM-120 switch targets to enemy missile1.trk This trackfile is in MP and was used to test another issue regarding the 120. The problem described on this threat happens on the 2nd time that i spawn in the F/A-18. Edited February 1 by Xhonas 3
rob10 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Is it actually tracking it or is the "new" proximity fusing distance change just causing it to explode beside the missile? From the pic above it looks like it changed course well before the missile went very far and about the same time the F-14 pitched up. Not saying you're wrong, but not sure those pictures make a convincing argument for what you're claiming.

It actually tracked the missile, it was not a PF explosion Saw it happening two more times in different setups

The missile switch targets as soon as the F-14 fired the aim-9. Edited February 2 by Xhonas
Xhonas Posted February 10 Author Posted February 10 @BIGNEWY @NineLine @Chizh Hello guys, just bumping the thread, this issue is very persistent especially if you're fighting aircraft like the F14, the 120 often switches targets to the aim54.
