Okay. I just figured out what was going wrong with my target. Apparently a single point of coordinates appears to be several nautical miles square and unless you drop your missile RIGHT ON TOP of that TINY LITTLE target, you miss. When you program your TLAM to go to a certain coordinate, it doesn't detect the target. It just goes for the CENTER of that huge square (which is kind of dumb. It should be able to see the target and zero in on it when it's that close). I've remedied this by actually TYPING IN the coordinates of the target in it's settings pages instead of manually placing it at it's coordinate like I HAD been doing. This put the target directly in the middle of the square and now I hit it every time. Well, that's one problem solved.
