"Expert"-Stinger misses afterburning MiG-21 nearly every time.

See trackfile. (Normandy map, due to smallest terrain-datasize)

Ran the mission many times, MiG-21 doesn't flare (was intended behaviour for this test), many many times Stinger misses.

Does the same with Helicopters, worse it doesn't proximity fuse half the time like it should when the Heat source aspect suddenly changes further then the missile can turn to intercept so proximity kills fail.

Is this about the the IR signature of the MiG-21 when in AB, being lower than when it is out of AB ?

 

If you wanna test it, limit the AI MiG-21 to not use afterburner and test again

Everybody gotta be offended and take it personally now-a-days

Say what? Is this a reported bug?

Source for Stinger having prox. fuze please. Last time I researched, all I found was it having solely an impact-fuze.

you can never know with the MiG-21

Yep. just like the engine sounding like it's gurgling, on which I couldn't find a video-source to this very day... (and it's SUPER loud in DCS in 3rd person in afterburner, also couldn't find a video about that, yet. Probably all part of a -21-Module PR-stunt xD)

It used to be, one of the patch notes said it was "tweaked", but how fix it is .... you can never know with the MiG-21

Without having explicitly tested this I assume it is fixed. It used to be that the DCS status RPM readout would go from 100% (mil power) to -100% (AB) for the MiG-21. That is no longer the case.

Graze and impact, yep, absolutely no prox fuze on these. They have tiny fins so keeping up with a fast and maneuvering aircraft wouldn't be easy. But a straight-running aircraft, well, let's just say the test and training shots are made on rather small targets and fairly cool targets.
