I have FC version 1.12. In order to get some help (i.e. stay alive a bit longer) I moved the "Missile Effectiveness" slider to "Low". According to the manual this is supposed to reduce the effectiveness of *ENEMY* missiles.
Problem is - I have not scored a hit since. Does the slider effect all missles?
I was under the assumption that this would hurt my enemy, but would not affect me (F-15 driver).
Missile effectiveness slider works for all missiles, friendly, enemy, neutral, whoever. Set it all the way up, which will mean the missile gets better right? But look at it this way: they also get better at tracking DECOYS. As you stated above, youre a F15 driver right? Well kill them at long range before they do it to you. F15 = BVR.
There should have been two settings: All the way to the left should say "missile misses quite often". To the right it should say "missile misses enuf to make you smash your keyboard".
