AIM-7M why do they keep missing targets?

I continue to encounter problems with the AIM-7s, when the missile is almost on target, it either completely misses the target by passing by it without exploding, or it suddenly changes direction for no reason, even if the lock on the target is perfect and the enemy does not it is located close to the ground. does the same thing happen to anyone?

might be notched or their a known bug with radar missiles phasesing through enemy aircraft

I tried to google if anyone had encountered the same problem but I couldn’t find anything specific about it

well it has happen to me before so don’t worry your not alone

Recently all missiles had a bug that caused proxy fuze to not work at all in some cases.I dont know if it’s fixed or not.

Its cause in russia they told flying low and straight protects you from USA missile…F-15 and F-22 say sure try that out…

And? Its still a problem

gimped on purpose

It is a problem - just try to fly a F14A with its AIM 7Fs and F14B with “supposedly” upgraded version of it - AIM 7Ms - while AIM 7Fs go straight for the target AIM 7Ms go for the void, many times just not following the target - why is that? The radar should be the same or better and the 7Ms should be way better or AT LEAST as good as 7Fs.
AIM 7Ms work somehow fine with F15A, but not with the F14B - does gaijin is gonna do something about it?

they dont care to do anything and also those things are on purpose cuz such bugs never happened on any russian missile

Yeah instead the dogfight missile turns too hard and does loops so it doesn’t even go near the target

Does anyone else get killed by your own 7Ms? Seems like it just explodes immediately after launch.
