Can someone tell me how the proximity fuse works?

It`s amazing how the sistem work only when it wants, sometime missles and shells with proximity fuse only work with a direct hit, so why bother to put this mechanic on the game?
Missiles right now is just a rocket with extra steps and proximity fuse shells didn`t see to work that well.

proximity shells are supposed to explode near something
this may be a bug for it not exploding early

Even missiles with proximity fuse only work on a direct hit. It`s annoying when you see your shell or missile passing just near and didn`t making any damage on the enimie.

are you sure they dont detonate so close it seems like impact?

Nope, i saw in replay, the missile had to impact to kill.
Sometimes, the missile overshoot by a feet from the enimy jet and nothing happens, the good thing is that everyone can avoid the missile easy, but still pretty anoying having a plane with low ammo and missiles soo inefective.

I already saw other players with the Javelin, Mig 19 and F100 having the same complains in the game chat.
