AIM-7F is completely unreliable. It can’t even track the easiest target. In the replay you can see my missile went for my teammate even though I had a proper lock on the enemy jet. (5:05)

Wrong replay? You’re dead at 3:25 in this one.

I didn’t check the replay, but it looks like you need to fix that per another reply.
That being said, I second this. The AIM-7F is very broken. The missiles will not track and their random behavior is getting really annoying.

+1 I just finished grinding the JAS-39C for UK with the Tornado F3 and have to say the Skyflash Supertemp works far, far better than the AIM-7M. Something has to be messed up with the sparrow cause they feel totally different when they probably shouldn’t

Bringing this one up, as it seems the AIM-7F is competing for the worst missile in the game.
I have unlocked the F-16ADF in the Italian TT and do rely on the teamkiller AIM-9L and the AIM-7M.
There were several instances yesterday, where I had head-ons at least 150m above ground (RALT) and a solid PD radar lock on the enemy plane and I waited for the missile lock before firing. The enemy was not maneuvering, yet the AIM-7F decided it wanted to be in a different place and missed it’s targets completely.
I have played the F-20A extensively to grind the US TT and found the AIM-7F to be relatively good and reliable, but the AIM-7M on the F-16 works maybe(!) 30% of the time as intended.
At 12.7, no ground ordonance and with only 2 radar missiles available I need them to work properly. I’m not expecting the missiles to do some wild maneuvering, but to lead properly and hit.
