A guided missile has been launched at an orphanage or one of the protagonists' planes, usually once it's been damaged and left limping along with no anti-missile defenses. Those onboard can't escape and get a nice, long look at their oncoming doom as they say their prayers... till the Ace Pilot flies his plane in front of the missile, making it switch targets and leading it away. Needless to say, the missile will not have any Friend Or Foe recognition software to tell it to either dodge the ally plane or not explode. Examples of Misguided Missile include:

  • A guided missile has been launched at an orphanage or one of the protagonists' planes, usually once it's been damaged and left limping along with no anti-missile defenses. Those onboard can't escape and get a nice, long look at their oncoming doom as they say their prayers... till the Ace Pilot flies his plane in front of the missile, making it switch targets and leading it away. The Ace Pilot either has the skills to blow it up or a plan (well, more like on the spot improvising) to destroy or escape from the missile. Usually by deftly dodging and making it hit a cliff or asteroid, just plain letting it hit his plane but using an Ejection Seat beforehand, or best of all, leading it back to the launcher! If he's being chased by the Macross Missile Massacre, then expect his new target to go "Oh Crap". Needless to say, the missile will not have any Friend Or Foe recognition software to tell it to either dodge the ally plane or not explode. This can very easily turn into a Heroic Sacrifice if he can't destroy or evade it, or worse ram an enemy target to make sure both he and the missile hit it. Compare Grenade Tag.
