Right, "trick" for the Mav H and K:
Quote:
To use the Maverick in force correlate mode:
1. Place the Boat Switch in the center position.
2. Slew the tracking gate near the intended target.
3. Ground stabilize the Maverick by pressing TMS Aft Short.
4. Slew the tracking gate over the target and the tracking gate will fully collapse. The Pointing
Cross will go steady.
5. You can now launch the Maverick by holding down the weapon release button.

The real trick is to combine it with the TGP;
- Put the TGP on the target in point track mode and make sure it's "locked" to your target (about 10nm and closer).
- TMS up long to set SPI.
- Make the Maverick H or K SOI and set boat switch to center.
- Give it a few seconds and then slave the Maverick to SPI, china hat forward long.
- Command track with TMS up short.
At that point the Maverick will lock, regardless of range or what it is pointing at. Rather than tracking a specific object, it's locked to a position.
Drawback is that if the target moves, it will miss. Keep in mind units tend to scatter if they are attacked.
Good thing about it is that you can have that SAM that's bothering you locked up at 10 or more miles out, letting you fire the moment you come into Mav range.
