How to use cruise missile?

Simple as the title, when I tried to use one it just dove into the sea and exploded.

They chase your cursor.

yeah it behaves like a tow missile

Yeah, the best strategy I've heard of is to have an albatross flying really high up (right click a waypoint), and use that to look down at the target, with tracking (press t twice(?)), I think you can even put that on auto and it'll keep tracking it automatically for you, but I haven't tested that too much.

you can also cancel support (the homing capability) by clicking once more after the missile has being fired, but i won't recommend it unless the target is completely stationary. Like a fire-and-forget kinda missile.

Best way to use it is to have an Albatross orbit the island (I put it at 2k altitude). Switch to the Gimbal, put it in manual (R), then put the Stabilization mode into "TRACKING". Point the camera where you want the missile to impact. Fire the missile. You can stay in manual mode if you need to track a moving target as the camera will guide the missile all the way to the target. If it's a stationary target you can press Z to put it back in Auto and go do something else and the camera will continue to track that area you pointed it at.
