SA-7 Should Be Rear-Aspect Only Shot-Capable
-
Really love this sim.
I’ve been shot down multiple times by a guiding SA-7 taking a face-shot when I’m extremely fast, dropping flares, not in burner, and my exhaust facing away from the missile’s seeker.

Unrealistic missile specifications in the database? Is there a way to mod/correct this behavior?

Are you sure it was an SA-7 and not a later missile like an SA-14, 16 or even and 18. All capable of engaging a target from any angle.

It actually is rear aspect in the sim.

ACMI says SA7 as well as debrief.

An ACMI would actually be nice to see what happened.

Clearly tracking me. As I said earlier…not the first time at all. And in some cases, SA7 fired in the face of my lead.
This shows the ACMI aspect, with flares ingressing:
This is my cockpit POV, and you can see the glow of my flares on the inst panel.
PM your email and I can send the entire Tacview ACMI file, if interested.

Not related I hope? https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?28324-AA-7-(R-24T)-missile
SA-14 was all aspect? one to question.
