Aim9 Bs seem to not be working as normal!

I have been playing for a few hours now and I keep having issues that shouldn’t exist with Aim9 Bs, I’ll be on a Mig15 and he at full throttle and still yet the missile can’t find his Heat when did this start being a Issue.

Look I 100% agree with you that its possible to trick the missile by cutting the throttle, but this is what is happening I have even gotten behind 104’s and still can’t get a lock with them afterburning wide open can we please check to see if something may have gotten screwed up during the patch.

Record it happening, and see if a bug report was made, if so add it to the bug report, if not, make one

I recall seeing what you’re describing before, the 9B’s seeker isn’t super sensitive so it sometimes has trouble locking on non-reheat engines even in perfect rear aspect. I’ve used 9Bs a lot in the last few days and I didn’t have any unusual issues with it

how far away were you?

I think this is a server issue. When I have bad connection, lots of the times I can’t fire a missile. I can activate the seeker, but can’t fire it. And i think I wasn’t getting locks either.

I have been experiencing issues when trying to activate and launch my fox3 missiles. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries. I think its the servers acting up.

Twice now with shenyang f5 it hasn’t worked on someone extremely close to me, clearly something’s up
Also just played one and r60 refused to lock a harrier like what

Might be that yes, I remember even magics sometimes ignoring planes when the performance feels down
