That explains something... Raptor, you're carrying the wrong bloody missiles. The IR seekers don't do force correlate tracking. CCD or forget about it. :P

Thought Schroeder was just being targeted by ATGM, my laser warning lit up at the same time. Switched to GTFO tactics, heard an explosion behind and figured it was him, but aparently he was much further from me.


On the SEAD thing: may have been the target. There's a large early warning radar placed there, which I seem to recall not playing nice with the Kh-58. Either it's not modeled properly because it's not technically air defence, or the missile really can't target a radar on that bandwith. The latter is not as unlikely as it sounds:

Like other Soviet missiles of the time, the Kh-58 could be fitted with a range of seeker heads designed to target specific air defence radars ...
