it was chasing a flare in that direction ( not )

The sun?

Nope, the sun would be on the right (according to the shadows of the trees).

Also look at the missile frame by frame: It pulls insane AoA but it seems like its inertia is so high, that even over 60° AoA (nearly 90° if I see that right before the missile leaves the screen) doesn’t let it change directions towards the target. As if the booster is either way too weak or the missile weighs a ton.

Probably the same issue I had as well back then. Good to know its still not fixed.

The guidance and/or FM of the missile is just completely broken at launch. like here, where the target was above the missile and instead going straight at it, they pull 40+ AoA looking at the ground while flying/drifting upwards: [Screenshot (70)] [Screenshot (69)]

The best part in your post: The sensor view shows 40° AoA while it visually pulls 60-70° AoA. The lower missile show 60° AoA while pulling close to 70-80° AoA. Something is extremely brocken here ^^

My guess is that the missile “flies on rails” a certain time after launch, independent of where it actually wants to fly. I would assume it would even pull >90° AoA but still fly and accelerate into another direction.

Edit: I think I know what it was in the video: It is the fixed double loft into the calculated target direction after launch which is always flown with the missile being effectively “on rails” during that phase.
