You’re unlikely to get one, if it’s been acknowledged its been put in the bug queue but its probably not in the high priority section. So they’ll get to it when they get to it, nothing to do but wait.
I’m coping, it makes me feel better to cause a fuss. :skull:
I’m sick and tired of not being able to punish the blatantly overpowered F-104s flying around at that BR. They are stupid and full commit to head-ons, they deserve to be punished for it.
Also day 30.

so anyone tested if it’s been fixed yet?
No, it has not been fixed. Still very much an issue.

even the AS20 nords are fking useless rightnow man , ive had them HIT a bagliets top down and do nothing bar yellow the breach, hit 4 around a gepard two days ago, and he was sitting in the craters but didnt have enough explosive mass to take him out. ridiculous.
Also to go with your nord video, i tried about a month ago to take the swift F7 out due to how the Firestreaks worked and was absolutely mortified, since they changed them, without any source to back up why they changed it, thus artificially nerfing the missiles. Ive had nothing but hits, not even crits, hits.
its a fucking shambles.
i tried using the air to air nords on the etendard IVM and it was just ridiculous better using aim9Bs

I think you mean the Super Mystere B2, the Etendard does not have access to AA-20 Nords, only AS-20 Nords
From my experience the AS20 needs a direct roof hit to take out even the lightest if armored vehicles, even a track hit to a gepard wont kill it even though a similair hit with an HE shell with much less HE filling will destroy it easily.
But the worst thing about it is you cant see shit when you launch it because of the extremely thick smoke coming out of the sustainer, other similair missiles like the bullpup have thick smoke for the booster that runs for a second or two but when the sustainer kicks in its almost smokeless. The missile is also much more sluggish than the Bullpup or the russian Kh.

Firestreaks as well for the god damned swift f7 are useless btw. They take a second betore they track roughly and by that time they have ran out of booster and or have conpletely missed tbe target.
God forbid u get it on target! Itll explode too far away and grant a hit.
Yeah these missiles arw old and forgotten about

I continue to cope and use them anyway, but holy hell is it causing me to lose my sanity. It’s been nearly 9 months for a bug that makes the missile near useless and completely inconsistent.

Perhaps, but I find discussion can at least help raise awareness. Hopefully if enough people get talking, someone might feel compelled to fix them rather than leave them selved and broken.

Have you used them recently? I had some good success with the G.91Y, and every nord that made a hit, at the very least did critical damage. Some even died instantly.

I use them near daily. They’re incredibly inconsistent. They have not made any changes for months.
Today:
And if that one is too close, you know rMin and all, if that even exists for this missile (I know the proxy fuse has a .5 second arm time and it was close), this one nearly direct hit at a much less danger close range. The fins of the missile were only an inch or two away.
This was before the last update but nords haven’t received any changes.
Or this one yesterday:
And countless other clips of them doing absolutely nothing.
And countless others that I have saved over months of these being bugged. I would love to see them get fixed. It’s a terrible shame such a fun niche mechanic just goes ignored for nearly a year. I understand they’re niche and not a huge portion of players use them, but 9 months is crazy for a bug that is honestly game breaking for those who do use it.

Oh, here’s a screenshot I took from the replay of that one against the 104:
And just for good measure, here’s another common outcome. The ‘critical hit’ that actually really doesn’t matter too much.
51lb warhead by the way.
And this is not saying they do not kill at all!
They do still have some damage, but they’re wildly inconsistent at best and blatantly will not do damage at worst.

Interesting. Guess i was just lucky. Will have to do some more. Nords are so fun and unique.
