These hellfire missiles behave more like the longbow variant. They're the ones the modern, longbow-system-equip apache choppers use, in that they're fire-and-forget. Those missiles tend to fly high though, and strike the target from above (instead of flying straight to the target)
Now that I think of it, that could be a fun addition to the missiles. Instead of strictly making the fly high though, just make them follow the direction they're aimed a bit more.
As it stands, the missiles will fly a short distance in the direction they're aimed, the turn to try and fly straight to the target. It would be cool if the missiles instead attempted to draw a smooth arc from the direction you're aiming, to the target. Such a mechanic would give the player a lot more control over their weapon, raise the skill ceiling, and allow for some pretty badass trick shots.
