Possible to make artillery/arc weapons homing?

So I've been wanting to get this to work for awhile, but to no avail so I'm here to ask other modders for a possible solution:

Is it possible to allow for artillery weapons/weapons that arc (high_angle or lowest_non_collide_angle) to home onto units through accuracy while doing to their typical high angle arc or is that currently not possible?

Been trying to make certain weapons home onto targets, akin to a Javelin Missiles top down attack.

I've tried ignore shot-blockers, but it just ends up with the result of the projectile firing in a straight line to hit the target when it rolls a hit, bypassing any obstacle on the map via clipping.

Edit: Mods, can someone edit the title to say "Possible to make artillery/arc weapons homing?"

Try changing the collision type to tp_homing, but keeping the is_artillery boolean set to true.

I've done that before and tried it once again. Projectile will arc when it does not roll a hit. When it does roll a hit, however, the projectile will home on and go in a straight line.

Guessing there's no way currently to keep the projectile airborne whilst it is homing into the target until Relic allows us to editing/add new firing angles?
