Default Re: Minor issues

I have always accepted a Hit/No Damage on AA Missiles to be a factor of how many are designed.

Generally speaking, many AA missiles aim to get ahead of the target and burst a cloud of shrapnel the A/C has to travel thru. At end of flight or if the seeker calculates it is not going to intercept it will self detonate at closest range to target. The most basic form of ECM is for a target to boost a radar signal to an approaching radar guiding missile and then reduce the signal to make the missile seeker to believe it had missed the target and trigger a self destruct.
I accept a Hit/No Damage to be a burst ahead of the target and there was no significant damage. Not specifically a contact hit on the target. That would be the Hit with lots of damage or single hit and target goes down.
