[FIXED B519] Chaff seducing Laser Spot Tracker

Post by AndrewJ »

Hello,

It looks like chaff is able to be used as a decoy against semi-active laser homing missiles (Laser Spot Tracker guidance, in CMANO terms). (Build 484, but also previous builds.)

I had seen this problem earlier with Hellfire missiles, but it looks like it may apply to the whole class of laser spot trackers.

In reality, the invisible cloud of chaff drifting away from the ship isn't going to have any effect at all on the IR laser illuminating the ship's bridge.

Thanks,

Andrew

Logged.

I've also added a note that in general chaff and flares should still be expended but never effective

Still seeing this on Mavericks in B517... (Ignore me. Misread. Fixed in 519!)
