Problem with SARH missiles.

[Butcher_ss]

Hey guys. I am facing a problem with all SARH missiles. The problem is that during their flight the lock brakes but I don't know why. I lock the target using the cursors, then I go STT and after I fire the missiles the square on the target on the HUD disappears and the missile therefore misses. After the instructions on how to use the AIM-7, I haven't had a problem. But now the SARH missiles miss most of the times. I flew the F-18, the F-4 and even tried the SU-27 with its AA-10A and AA-10C and the missiles still miss their target. A possible reason I thought of was that they were jamming my radar so the missiles lose track. Also I understand that the missile is going to lose track because there is a strange HOJ appearing on the HUD after the missile is fired. I have seen this HOJ with the AIM-120 and the AA-12 which are AR missiles and they do not guiding and a radar lock up to missile impact. I would appreciate some help on what I'm doing wrong here.

enemies use ECM. your lock is jammed.
within 10 miles, switch to ACM mode, launch your aim7 in this mode, it got better auto-lock for the kill.
