Aa missiles not tracking.

Are you saying that your radar is on and the diamond is indicating that the missile is fully locked, but once fired it doesn't track towards the enemy?

If so, the only time something like that has happened to me is when I'm too close or pass the enemy too quickly.

I have noticed they are able to flare or evade the missiles much easier lately. This isn't something we have control over though. 

Missile tracking is on BI's side of the fence. There are no scripts in the mission that affect missile tracking or target acquisition.

It could be related to desync or something similar between the server AI and the players though 

The only thing that would make sense would be player to AI desync on fast moving targets as I stated above helicopters are not an issue, but yes Radar locked, diamond full, fired and no tracking from the missile to the target regardless of being in a jet, tank or launcher, it is from an estimate 50% chance of a tracking missile actually doing its job. I thought I'd throw the issue here just to make sure someone is aware if it as dealing with jets are an issue of of late.

That sounds unusual. Does the aircraft you're firing at use its countermeasures still or no?

Can you maybe take a video of it?

I will tomorrow sure thing, but yeah its easy to explain without a vid but I can do anyways, yeah the jets always flare once a missile is fired but going from private tests to the server have showed that in private all missiles are tracking when fired but as intended some are flared off some aren't. As for the server in a cheetah every second missile fired tracks the jet and they always flare per missile fired.

Ah I see, thanks. I'll give it a go myself and see if I get the same issue.

The AI aircraft on the server automatically launch flares once a missile is launched. That shouldn't affect targeting like that though.

It's my understanding that the CMImmunity (Counter Measure Immunity, chance that a missile will continue tracking when a countermeasure (Flares, Smoke etc.) is deployed) is stored inside the missile, not in the aircraft. This means that "better aircraft" aren't less likely to be hit in the conventional sense, but rather, their greater performance allows them to deploy more flares before a missile could potentially impact, thus running the CMImmunity chance more often. 

Now, there's no doubt that this CMImmunity value has been changed for most, if not all AA missiles. The chance that a missile loses lock on I&A is significantly higher (Anecdotal [Citation needed]) than the default Arma values. While this may seem stupid, remember that these CMImmunity values also apply to the enemies AA munitions as well, which is why they are significantly different than the default. We wouldn't want every pilot being instantly massacred by a wild enemy CAS, would we?

I watched that video of yours. Firstly, when the target is 1.5 km and below, please use the autocannons. That's what they're for and they seriously kick ass. There's even a lead indicator that should help. As for the missiles, that's genuinely very unlucky for missiles at that range to miss, but not unheard of. It's recommended that you launch missiles after their countermeasure burst has ended, as it greatly decreases the probability that a missile will instantly lose lock (in my experience). This is also compounded by your limited ammunition supply, so making them count is crucial. 

AA on I&A is pretty weird, sometimes it just works, sometimes it doesn't.
