You are assuming a long range shot. The AIM-54 does not have to be shot at that range. You are also ignoring the fact that in order for a fighter sized target to evade the missile, it needs to be able to detect it in time to do something about it.

Wasn't there something called 'Lock On-Modern Air Combat' or similar under development? There's definately one lurking out there somewhere.

I do find the prospect of A2A fights in A10's appealing
