    Incorrect; at close combat "lock on" does not mean the missiles will hit. A maneuverable fighter model can always avoid close-range missiles. Also, for Guardians, the enemy must remain within full view of your radar for aerial hits. @AV8R

    @Stingray I'm not sure I understand... all that the Activation group does for a missile is make it fire without lock on... is this strictly something that's important to do when using it as AI in a dogfight?

    A couple Jundroo missile rules:
    1. One, yeah, you may build a fighter with Group Activations 2,3,4,5,6 and enjoy glorious combat and yes, lock-on works both for interceptor and Guardian missiles.
    2. Two, set all Groups to ACT=1, then the "flaky" Jundroo AI chooses Guardian or Intercepter firing order.

    (Some of the hints that should be "Operating Procedures" by the Jundroo team. They are a brilliant, but, inexperienced crew of developers).

    @Mumpsy Thanks! It's the first time I've done a paint job on one of my planes, other than coloring the fuselage.

    @Stingray doesn't that just fire them without them locking on? They make rockets if you want unguided ordnance!
