Oh yes, from that range I would never fire a lazy 30 knotter. If the target is three minutes or so away, I don't risk it. But the T-I will occasionally blow up in the middle of the path as well, which is why I like the proximity. Especially if I'm in the midst of a convoy and they're not supposed to know of my presence yet. I've had a T-I explode that way a couple of times and attract all sorts of unwanted attention, and completely ruining my beautiful attack run. What usually follows is a resounding "VERDAMMT!" and a quick dive.
