[Fixed] Strange Rafale M Meteor missile guidance behavior

Take a look at Meteor #2875 located near N33, E28, running from left to right. Seems like the Rafale M that fired it is a little confused- repeatedly swapping guidance directions between the correct target to the South and some random point to the North-Northeast. Not the first time I've seen this but the first time I bothered saving it.
I don't think this is Rafale/Meteor dependent- I think I've seen this with AMRAAMs before as well on other fighter platforms. It would make more sense that its a guidance problem with the firing unit.
I suppose it could be a symptom of the jamming, but it seems more bug-like than jam-like to me. I figure if it were jammed then the guidance would be wrong but wouldn't fluctuate like that.
Also, the Meteor seems to correct itself if the Mig-31 is removed/destroyed, maybe it's related.

Maybe it's a weird interception calculation issue. I just had it happen again in the same scenario, except this time the Meteor stayed on the wrong course, flying way North as if it were traveling at 100 knots instead of 2500.
EDIT: Yeah, that's my current theory. Looks like both missile courses are for intercept but for some reason it picks the wrong one sometimes. It's happened a third time in about 60s of game time, where the Meteors are given an incorrect intercept course as if the interception calculation is using the wrong missile speed.

Hey Steve, did this make it into the 1147.15 beta? I didn't see it in the changelog.

It didn't get into 1147.15. It should be in the next one though. Sorry about that.

I've been following the Beta release notes published since and haven't seen this listed. Will this issue be fixed in tomorrow's 1.03 release?
It's also possible that it was included in one of the changelogs and I just didn't see it.

I searched 14245 on the forum and it brought me to that bug tracking number in .16 beta.

Ah, yeah I had been looking for the same title but now I see it. Thanks.
