Sometimes it just feels like Aim 7M simply goes off in a random direction for no reason. This was just a recent example. Am I doing something wrong missile wise?

Can’t tell you exactly why it happened in your clip but I can tell you that you’re firing on a guy damn near notching you before you even fired which would give a weak radar return while there is a giant furball right next to him providing probably far higher radar returns
Though I will say, the 7M’s seeker does seem to keep track on the 21bison the entire time, so probably not user error here.

Yes, you’re using the Sparrow
Sparrows have a long history in this game of being peak pitbull missiles and maddogging friendlies while completely missing enemies. It’a just kinda the nature of the missile
I agree that it looks like that in the replay from a distance, but for extra clarity this is how it looked like in game. He is almost close to notching, but not close enough that it should matter.

I’m sorry, do your missiles play the guiter solo of free bird?

Yes, it is an extremely funny sound mod. I forgot I had it installed
The music getting quieter and quieter as it travels away from your aircraft and then the max volume when you switched camera back made me lol

The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t. By subtracting where it is from where it isn’t, or where it isn’t from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn’t, and arriving at a position where it wasn’t, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn’t, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn’t.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn’t, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn’t. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn’t, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn’t, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn’t be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
