Aim-120 Post Launch

Shouldn’t happen normally. But we had that in our squadron also a friendly kill with an Heater (IRIS-T i think) despite the fact the sensor was uncaged and pointing at the bogey. At least the pilot firing it said so :mrgreen:
Hmmm, not unheard of…. if you can find a repro case or at least clues on how to reproduce, that would help.

Have to add it was 4.32 with Aegean 1.6 ….

Well, even if you maintain the lock, you can still hit a friendly. Thats why you dont shoot missiles at friendlies.
When the missile gets close enough to the target (or to the targets last known position, if you lost the lock) it switches on its own radar, and tries to find a target where it thinks it was supposed to be. If a friendly happens to be in the way, well it sucks to be them.
Or use SARH AAM.

Yes, the benefit of having missiles which are hard to hit anything with is that they wont hit friendlies either….

Now AIM-7F/M have the kinematic range wha they have in RL and deserve. Yes, they are vulnerable to many things but at least you can have someting.

Try Instant Action in Ace mode and report back I expect to see you with a few Alamo-A fragments through your forehead

It will lock on to the first aircraft that enters it’s WEZ regardless of friend or foe if you lose lock before pitbull hence launching in furballs is not smart. Normally the friendly will make a radio call advising you he is very unhappy.

that’s an important one
the Problem has been known to happen on 4.32, but we could not reliably reproduce as it is a very rare.We have yet to encounter it in 4.33, but if you do, please let us know.

I thought instant action was bugged and unsupported? I had even thought I heard murmurings about the button for it being removed in future versions, but 4.33 has come and lo, it is still with us…

might change in the future.
but for now, it is here and will not go away till we’ll have a fitting successor.
