Using the AGM-65 Maverick

Is there a trick to use this weapon? Can't tell you how many hours I have tried. Trying to use it to take a SAM launcher on land. Now the only I help I am using is the ESM and what direction. No range. Anyway of doing this?

Find it thorugh the infared camera, and you should also use the SLAM-ER instead (bigger explosion, longer range, wont miss)

You probably need to classify the esm contact as either surface or stationary before the targeting system will allow you to lock up the contact.

Got it. Thanks. The other thing I found out. The SAM site was also shooting down my missles.
