datalkink doesn’t care if your missile is going pitbull or not,… it’s the missile that deicdes when to ignore aircraft indication,… therefore, if the missile still didn’t get to “pitbull” stage at 5km, it’s gonna refer to aircraft datalinked indications.
not unrealistic,… but with lower probability IRL
the side-effect is still real.
that’s maybe the only thing that is true,… yet, it’s true for every current missile in the game (MICA included)
