HOBS Missiles, and IR stuff

A suggestion that will really make the game more interesting.

So, I'd really, really like a High-Off-Boresight missile and Infrared stuff added into the next update. Although I doubt it's going to make it.

For those of you who don't know, a "High-Off-Boresight" (HOBS) missile is a missile that can lock a target simply by having the pilot looking at the target. The HOBS requires a helmet mounted sight, so the pilot can lock Fox 2s at the target. This way, the missile in SP will be much more challenging to lock on to enemy target. Because missiles in SP has a maxTargetingAngle limit of 180°, which means you can lock something from behind and once the target reaches the range of the missile, the target will be locked, no matter the bearing or if it's low or high.

Speaking of Fox 2s, I really wanted IR stuffs. Like Fox 2s, IRSTs, and LANTIRNs. Fox 2s are really interesting, and it can really make the enemy panic more as to your usual Fox 1s and Fox 3s. And it's also more satisfying. IRSTs can make stronger lock, while LANTIRN can let you see the enemy in the night.

And also, I think countermeasures are too overpowered. So overpowered, that the chaffs become useless. Would be really cool if we can have Flares only affect on Fox 2s, and Chaffs affect Fox 1s and 3s. And also they need to only work sometimes and not always.
