Can't get a radar lock with F14A Early in the Tutorial

Basically the title. I can’t get the radar lock for my F14 to work whatsoever. I try to test my new AIM7 in the tutorial and despite me hitting the exact buttons the tutorial is telling me, nothing will lock. I can’t get any lock at any angle during a test flight. No one has any answers and I am not the only person to have had this issue. What am I doing wrong?? It will come up for two seconds and then disappear immediately. I have held the keybind, I have tapped it, I have spammed it, like what am I supposed to do lol

Dude to me Aim7Fs are the worst radar missiles in its BR whatever plane they are in, give me any other countries radar missiles over that crap.

I have probably missed out on 100 airkills with those things and died trying to get them to lock in the process, terrible
