Radar gunsight is very inaccurate.

[MinosFL]

So I have no clue if its a bug or just how the F-4 works but the radar gunsight is heavily inaccurate it is not leading correctly i'm not expecting computed lead like the hornet or viper but this just seems way off also sorry for the bad quality had to compress the video due to file size

There are multiple things that could have gone wrong here. Potentially you didnt even lock the target, its a bit hard to validate based on the video.

Also, you need to track the target for roughly a second for the sight to work properly, it will account for range, not movement. So a head-on encounter like this isnt really a good use case for this feature.

Mind sending a track file? Try the gunsight against maybe a practice target flying away from you that doesnt maneuver, you will see how it does indeed adjust for the range properly and when you can properly stabilize your pipper on the target it will then likely also hit.
