The aim-7f in F-16AJ is too active

In my experience lately, the aim-7f would go for anything but the target despite having solid lock. One time i got a solid rear-aspect lock from 2km away and the 2 missiles still missed and both went after the target’s missiles. I previously played the F-4j a year ago and didn’t have this problem this frequently. Is this a bug or it is just the missile identified itself as fox-3?

welp that’s kinda suck, oh well at least i know the problem is not from my skill issues, hope this get fixed soon

you have to remember that sparrows go for whatever is the biggest/most prominent signature in the CW illumination cone, and the cone is usually bigger than you would think. keep that in mind and you should be able to pick your shots better

If you watch replays in sensor view, it seems the cone is way bigger than shown…

I know you tagged this to AIM-7F/F-16, but I think this problem is way bigger.

For example you want to lock an enemy using ACM/ACQ or HDS. Very often it locks the wrong target while your wanted target should produce the biggest radar signature. HDS very often locks outside the box.
TWS very often locks missiles while no missile is shown on your radar hud. Idk how this works irl but ingame it would be easy to filter this out or to reduce a little bit.

And it’s no skill issue, even at DEFYN’s video you can see this. lol

to some extent it can be and by picking when is the right time to fire you can minimize the chance of this happening in many situations e.g, multitarget situations. think how the seeker sees. sometimes i fire multiple missiles into one locked aircraft when i have many coming at me as i sometimes get multiple kills despite only one target being locked. it can sometimes be useful.

Yeah sparrows just kinda suck these days
like genuinely its to the point where i think its actually just broken now
Cause ive had perfect head on shots with no other aircraft anywhere nearby and the missile still completely fails to track

The only sparrow that isnt complete trash is the Aim-7P because the datalink forces it to guide properly anyway

thanks for the tip!

And the 7P (in br where it is relevant) is locked behind a paywall, typical Gaijin
