Meh I don't think it does have a 250 km range. Likely also dependent on line of sight. Try increasing altitude- or perhaps you have it set up wrong in the mission editor. Mission type should be "anti ship".

After you change TASK to anti-ship like Konny suggested, double-check you have a weapon loaded. I have sometimes had the weapon loadout zapped back to EMPTY after changing TASK....
After trying for three hours yesterday...making sure weapons were loaded, radar was on, target was marked-the only way i could launch the weapon was to change to radar in options from realistic to the easy mode....i had two A-10s set up as secondary targets for the mission and i got a hit on the CVN (big deal... gotta add wingmen for more firepower) and then went to the A-10's and, while being nowhere near an ace, the easy radar kinda took the fun out of the thing.....so, i gues i'll do no missions in anti-ship with "player" as pilot for the SU33
Go to this link on IronHands Flanker training site and download the movie that explains how to use Kh-41. Maybe there will be something in his movie that will help you get it working.
Final thought: Try a small ship rather than CVN-70 so that you at least get the satisfaction of sinking it once you do get it to work
Yep- you're not doing something right. The system works fine- you don't need easy radar. You'll need to hit that CVN at least 5x IIRC. This may be different than 1.02, but- the ships in FC and patches since have incredible defensive abilities- as they do IRL. Even a Ticon in LOMAC might need a flight of 5 SU33's to take it out. (you'll be lucky if 2 of them hit) Requires a proper formation and timed release of the Moskits or they will be picked off like clay pigeons.
