So I have spent the last month working on and off on a project with the goal to make A-A missiles 100% lethal. Forget balance, forget skill, I just want to see if it was possible. I have now finally succeeded!
In SP the missiles had nearly a 90% hit ratio, this was against the fairly unskilled AI pilots.
Today I played against a friend of mine who is an extremely good pilot. (Better than me, and thats saying a lot.) The missiles had about an 80% hit ratio. Some of the kills that we were getting on each other were amazing. There was one time where I had a missile on my tail for so long that the missile actually reached it's designated 10 second self-destruct limit.
So anyway here some videos that serve as proof. I was so happy to finally make missiles that can actually harm the enemy pilot.
[EDIT] I forgot to mention that this could easily be applied to SAM emplacements.

Here is a perfect example of my "overpowered" missiles. I shot this Su-34 at a point where the vanilla missiles would have laughed and gone off to kill a teammate, not my missiles.
This was a very steep angle shot, by no means would an ordinary missile score a hit. Looks like the missile missed though. What exactly is this nut-case talking about?
Is that missile doing what I think it's doing?
Yes, you are seeing what this picture suggests. The missile missed, but continued to track its target and eventually hit the target.

For fun I also decided to include my little laser guided bomb videos. The bombs are pretty fun to play with but suffer the standard "Oh look a teammate, let's to have a closer look" syndrome that missiles normally have.
LGB - T-90 Tank Hit
LGB - BTR-90 APC Hit
A-A - Missile Su-34 Hit (same as pictures above)
A-A - Missile F/A-18 (flown by me) Hit. This is the best video
If anyone really wants this mod, I need to find a place to put the file, as I have no real file hosts for something like this.
