Escaping Missiles?

LastLiving · Mar 11th 2022, 12:41am

I am confused. I just sent a missile towards a unit right below my fighter, and a few mins later I get a notification that the enemy target escaped the range of my missile. How does this work? The unit was clearly in the range of my fighter's missiles, so I don't know how this would have happened.

MAGIC

Call it magic
Call it true
I call it magic
When I'm with you

And I just got broken
Broken into two
Still I call it magic
When I'm next to you

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't
No, I don't, it's true
No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
No, I don't, it's true
No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Call it magic
Cut me into two
And with all your magic
I disappear from view

And I can't get over
Can't get over you
Still I call it magic
Such a precious jewel

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't
No, I don't, it's true
No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
No, I don't, it's true
No, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

Wanna fall
Fall so far
I wanna fall
Fall so hard
And I call it magic
And I call it true
I call it ma-, ma-ma-magic

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

And if you were to ask me
After all that we've been through
"Still believe in magic?"
Oh, yes, I do

Oh, yes, I do
Oh, yes, I do
Oh, yes, I do
Of course, I do

Ignoring the useless song lyrics.

If I see missiles coming towards me, then I rush my troops so they try and escape the area.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, it depends upon how big the square is that you are firing at. However, you always need to make sure you are aiming at troops and not land.

If you are aiming at land, then it is a lot easier to avoid, I have sometimes started to attack the land rather than troops on the land, and once I noticed, then I switched to make sure that it was hitting the troops.

You want to make sure that there is also not anti air in the area as well, if say for example you did not see the AA and you fired a missile, then the AA will take out that missile making it reasonably useless.

Regards

Mark

Ignoring the pathetic post (whoever want to say my song is useless) I can still say " I do believe in MAGIC "

I didn't aim at the land, but at the unit. No anti air, just some infantries. So you are saying that if they are quick enough, then they can escape the missile?

booombooom · Mar 11th 2022, 12:52pm

give me some more info, like I guess you did fire a cruise Missile? and your Fighter was top on that unit? Right

booombooom · Mar 11th 2022, 12:57pm

well I can find only 2 explanation, Either It was an Airborn unit which did take off between the time window or someone else kill it before your missile hit it.

Or the 3rd may be another new bug.

And you know, I am deliberately using multiple post without editing the one. coz .... (Nope, not gona tell you now) :evil:

The Pale Rider · Mar 11th 2022, 5:31pm

missiles are slow... when i use them I patrol plane past target and dump on their head. silly that CM missiles are like half speed of planes. Never tried to outrun one besides ships, Ive reversersed direction and rush to give Frigs time for AA to kick in.

But would be hard for ground troops to outrun unless you fired at the first range. So if launched missile 200 miles out and then they moved yeah out of range.

iirc Cruise Missiles can follow units. Other missiles can be dodged quite easily

What type of missile was it?

This. It happened to me this morning and was directly on top firing cruise from ASF.

looks like event was wrong as it engaged. most likely had pt defense > missile hp?? who knows nothing working on game

Dude.Perfect · Mar 11th 2022, 7:51pm

Is anyone even able to play this game? Cause I am not even able to open that sh*t

LastLiving · Mar 11th 2022, 9:25pm

Fired a cruise missile straight at a regular infantry right below my fighter aircraft and got the same message as Gen Vader, but without the engagement notification. Probably just a glitch.

Probably as it was the first one. CM was 5hp and the rest went through defence and notifications as normal.

Disconnects and unable to reload for several minutes on occasions and when it does work it's struggling.

Working Perfectly for me, I just check it in a new game, Cruise Missile (launched from Fighter Aircraft) perfectly hit enemy Mot Inf and kill it when flying over the top of that unit.

Can you get one intercepted and see if it's giving wrong notification for it? My match is nearly finished and no defences for missiles left to test against now.

booombooom · Mar 12th 2022, 11:24am

Well, same goes for me, My game ( I am testing Missile) is at day 32, and there are no one left with Anti air any more(Except my own coalition members), Except Indonesia have some Frigate left(lvl 4). But I am not in war with him, Okay i will check it against his Frigate later and let you know. No problem.
