Summarize your bug Shooting IR anti-air missiles from Apache at Scout Helicopter routinely just do circles around the target. This typically happens in pursuit, but sometimes also when just in a face-to-face fight and gaining altitude.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Dog fight in attack helicopter vs scout helicopter - wither super hokum or apache. Have the scout try to run away, and chase in the attack heli before shooting.
What happens when the bug occurs? * EVERY TIME ITS IMPORTANT
What should be happening instead? My KDR is getting * destroyed

This is without a doubt the most ridiculous bug. I swear to * christ it's been around since BF4. When I'm flying in ANY attack helicopter - Super Hocum or Apache - and I get the drop on a scout helicopter and shoot Ir missiles at it - probably about 75% of the time they will just do bunch of circles around the target and then blow up without hitting. Usually this happens when the scout is trying to run away and I'm pursuing, but it also happens IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOG FIGHT FACE TO FACE. This is the most infuriating bug in the entire game - I routinely shoot 4 missiles at these * and they all just spin orbits, sometimes I can get hits with anti-vehicle rockets if the hit registration isn't absolute * - WHICH IT IS MOST OF THE TIME - but more often than not I burst into a raging ball of flames because your developers have copy + pasted code from 6 or 7 years ago.
