Why do my Mavericks keep missing?

[Madman1]

The AGM-65H is supposed to be a fire-and-forget missile, not a beam-rider right? Then why is it that often times when I launch and then turn away the thing misses the target? I get lock with the TGP, slew to Mav page, make sure the Mav has lock, fire, bank-turn away, the missile missed by a mile. I don't get it. Isn't this thing supposed to home in by itself?

Correct. It is a fire and forget weapon. The H is a "digital TV" guided CCD.

This is a classic case for uploading a track for people to see what's going on.

The Maverick isn't really maneuverable either, so make sure you fire at an acceptable distance within reasonable limits. 

And like Czar said, you should upload a short track for us to see what's happening.
