Active Phoenix veering off target at last second

[EnDSchultz]

I seem to recall somebody in a video noticing the same behavior with the 120 since the recent update and the Phoenix may be affected as well...

 

I thought maybe it was due to a successful notch, but shouldn't a notched missile go stupid and fly straight? I've seen instances where it will be tracking fine, and then at the last second pull a hard 15G turn to pass well ahead of the target.

If you have any tracks showing repeatable behavior make a report here:

Missiles do veer off when getting notched sometimes. It's more prevalent with older API missiles like the AIM-54. Nothing wrong besides the old API being the old API.
