two days ago I had a chance to test something I thought about before..
A LF was thrusting away in one direction for quite a long distance while dodging. He could not cruise because one in my group had a cd.
I thought I would try the lazy way.. and simply kept pressing the Firestalker button... and... over 1/3 of the missiles hit (against a dodging LF).. before he got half way he had no guns (since it was non-vanilla ship). And he died not so long after..."difficult"
But yes missiles often loose track if the target turns a lot (using e-kill) => they need better seeker angle.
