IR missile targeting bug

After the leviathans update all air to air or ground to air IR missiles stopped working correctly. (r73, IRIS-T, magic 2, 9M and more)
And keep going for bombs or anything that is not a plane or heli. even when they are right behind them!
making it almost impossible to hit anything if they drop any form of munition.
so if a plane drops a single dumb bomb 2 sec before your IRIS-T hits they will go for the bomb instead of the glowing hot engine of the plane or heli that dropped them! :)

This is why your IR missiles keep missing on people that fire of cas munitions or bomb bases!

here is the bug report:

I hope many more people will vote so that gajijn will see this and act!!

PS: if you have a clip of it happening to you please post it so we can expand the bug report with more clips!

I also found that my R-73s are as easy to flare as Aim-9Gs nowadays. Can count myself lucky to get a kill with them by only ambushing, no longer usable in a dogfight. There’s definitely something afoot with IR missiles this update.

The fact that it changes its target from jet to bombs is silly, funny, but sooo silly lol Hope they fixed that.
