Missles....

[Dab]

When the missile gets very close, it tries to follow the target, but often overcompensates and turns farther than it needs to, and then loses tracking because it can't find the target anymore. It mostly depends on what angle you fire at, as the missile comes out that direction, then tracks towards the target. The only time you need to reselect your target is when the missile doesn't track at all, and just flies a straight path from launch.
