' Wrote:Remember, CD's are also missiles, just with a specialized payload. And as seen in the name, they do miss. Otherwise they would be called hitiles...

Now to improve your hitrate with missiles and CD's, you need to prime their seekerheads. It is not enough just to have the target selected. That will just give the missile/CD a "box" to shoot into, and then hopefully be able to track the target.

If you keep your targetting reticule OVER the target cross, then fire your missile/CD, you will have a better chance of hitting, since you are telling the seekerhead exactly where the target is.

Wow, you have no idea how useful this information was to me.

I always thought that missles in FL are just "select your taget" then "point anywhere press a button to fire" payloads, because it seems to be the case in modern flight sims. As the missile has already locked onto a target (heat signature or whatever), when you prime and release it from your rack it'll just fly towards the pre-designated target regardless of where you point it? It misses when it failed to hit anything within a time window and either explode or fly until it runs out of fuel. But it usually explodes for safety reasons.

Ah what the hell, I should really stop applying real life physics and mechanics into FL.
