Default Re: Missiles: Do they ever miss???

That 10 billion increase in sensor power seems odd. It may be that the sensor power increases the closer the missile get to it's target but I don't think the increase is a simple multiplication process. If it's true that no wonder missiles don't miss, that's one big *** target!
No matter what the sensor or ECM device is the time a missile takes to reach its target will have as big an effect, if not more, than the tracking device on how effective ECM is. If it takes 4 times as long for a missile to reach it's target compared to a beam then the target has an advantage, if only in maneuver.
I am glad Aaron gave his reason for the way it is. We all have an opinion on this, and on other things we would like to see done with the game, and maybe Aaron will read the threads and decide to change it. If not, I am sure other improvements will be made to make the game even better.
