Stinger missing when locked on???

Now this has been happening a lot recently to me and i cannot seem to figure it out. I lock on fire and then i can watch my missile fly right by the target. This does not happen all the time but happens quite a bit.
I have found that if i stayed zoomed on the target till it pops then this does not happen but if i lock on, fire and then zoom out shortly after it seem to miss quite often.
Any explanations??
Might add this did not seem to be happenin up until recently and I do not seem to be suffering any major lag.
Uhhh what are you shooting at? Killstreaks 9 and above have flares...
Lol I am aware of that all right but i am talking UAV and attack helicopter things that should die.
Sorry for not clarifying.
Do you have Blind Eye Pro? Only asking because the difference with it being pro is a step above neglible in the time it takes to lock on.
However, I must admit this has happened to me a couple of times recently. Personally, I didn't think much of it other than that I probably rushed the attempt. But I have noticed others here and there wondering the same thing. Maybe it's lag?
Just prestiged so do not have pro but i am defo locked when firing it just seems to miss, it is only something i have noticed recently as i use stinger for handy points to rank up.
As for the lag I seem to be running ok (not perfect) in most other aspects of the game so was kinda ruling that out although it may still be the cause
I'm guessing it has to be lag. If it's missing helis, UAVs, and etc, then that has to be it, because when it comes to taking those down the Stinger is usually money in the bank.
a) love the name. Spent last spring break in Ireland, and will always miss it.
b) I noticed the same thing happen a couple times, though definitely not as consistently as it seems to for you. I just thought it was because I fired at a bad angle while the chopper was moving, allowing it to strafe out of the way, but the way you described the instance has happened to me as well.
I gamer.. i noticed that too, i notice that I do not get points when taking out all types of air craft. I hope you look to see if you are getting the hit points at the end of the game you play in? all the best

Has to be severe lag then, if you're sure it's not hitting anything like trees or telephone wires. My guess is there's a logic problem with locking on and losing connection to the game briefly. There's nothing wrong with pulling a stinger right down after firing. There is absolutely no way to fire without locking on.
I have a pretty good eye for the Stinger, and I can confirm that this HAS been happening quite a bit in the last few weeks for me...
if its attack choppers you are missing its probably just a matter of you turning away too quickily like you said when you watch them it hits. try not to turn right as you fire and you should do better. Also AH-6 tend to avoid being hit by swerving away from the first missle you shoot so try to have a short clear view of them
That should not be, if he locks on then its a dead shot like someone said above there is now way to fire without locking on and turning away has nothing to do with it, my guess would also be the lag or server dropping you off breifly.
Sounds like you may have MPD.

I get this every now and the too, happened in mw2 with harriers sometimes
the weird one I'm getting bout once a week is firing a stinger reloading then finding I still have 2 shots left :/ (no scav pro but not sure if that works on launchers anyway)
had it happen with the stinger and the smaw. Its lag related where either you or the host becomes out of sync with each other and the lock is broke by the host at that point. Its is very frustrating when trying to take down aircraft of any kind and it happens and there was no flares released to break the lock.
