Just did some testing on a GECM truck and MAD-4 radar. The AGM-88s launched in HOJ on the GECM truck all missed except one lucky time it hit. The AGM-88s launched in ARAD all hit the MAD-4 radar.
#AGM-88/AGM-88S weird behaviour causes missile to miss when launched in HOJ

I guess to tag onto this thread, the 88 and 88S fired air to air in HOJ dont work basically at all.
This was texted extensively in HSVR, but also private lobbies utilizing different levels of manual lofting, aspects, and targets, all while the person that was jamming was continuously jamming with no breaks in the jamming signal.
The missiles either dont track at all, go stupid immediately, or fly in a ballistic trajctory and make some small adjustments before just stopping the track.
Comparatively, an AIM-7, AGM-126, AIM-54, or AIM-120C/D in this exact same regime track perfectly and impact 10/10 times

Probably best to link the gecm mission?
