AIM-120 C-5 problem

guys do you have problem too with AIM 120 C-5 that when launched from small altititude to higher plane and he pulls down little the missile instantly fly into ground? Something like ts happened everytime

BE CAUTIOUS FOR EARS I FORGOT ABOUT MUSIC

This is normal behaviour.

The missile obviously cant fly directly at the target, because it would never hit. so instead it heads for an intercept point. At 12 seocnds in, you can see the target diving quite hard towards the deck, and so the missile is also maintaining the intercept point which is now underground.

You can do this to defeat basically any missile, but the greater the distance, the greater the effect.

The only things you can really change is to either loft the missile, by firing the missile upwards at a 20-30Β° angle, this might mitigate it some of the time or by flying at a higher altitude in the first place.

but it was not like that before update

They changed a lot with how the missile loft, and pull. Before the AMRAAM probably didnt have the turn ability to turn that hard to maintain the intercept point. But the tactic is no different. Had an Su-30 defeat a Aim-9M months ago using this tactic

Players discovering proportional navigation and the fact that missile doesn’t know where it is what ground is and that it is need to be avoided.
