Radiation missile keeping track after radar source shutoff

[Darkwolf]

Hi there.

 

Something annoying for sam operators :

 

When you get engaged by SEAD aircraft, no matter what their missile keep lock on you.

 

Way to reproduce :

 

1/ Mess with a SEAD aircraft until he decide to shot at you.

2/ Shutdown your radar.

3/ Move away

4/ Boom, you are dead with a LGB style precision.

 

Also, HARM lock stay valid even when you are behind a building. For now i tested that with AGM-88 HARMs/ If i recall, that's valid for russian HARM too.

 

I'm not an expert, but I already have doubt a HARM can accurately hit a target when he is shutdowning radar. If you move your vehicle, a HARM shall not hit you. So i'm sure it's a bug/Programmation mistake.

 

Hope it's nothing serious, hope to see it resolved soon. :thumbup:

 

As a side note, that would be real fun and more challenging to have AI shutting down their radar when they detect an incoming HARM. :)

Most radiation seeking missiles will keep track of the last known position of the emission. If you move and it still hits you, then there is an issue.

ALARM will definitely get you no matter you shut the radar down, especially if you bring it back up... And I wish ED could / would model the ALARM's flight pattern correctly.
