I'm currently trying to create a missile that has a limitation on how quick it can turn. But i'v ran into a weird issue where that it doesn't take the route i expected and im completely confused why it takes that route. It does eventually get to its target after a while or short but its quite random and inefficient.

    while nukeCollided == false do
        swait()
        if nuke.Position.Y < (projectileOrigin.Y+nukeTargetHeight) and nukeAtTargetHeight == false then
                        -- Rise to target height
            nuke.Position = nuke.Position + nuke.CFrame.LookVector
        elseif nuke.Position.Y > (projectileOrigin.Y+nukeTargetHeight) then    
            nukeAtTargetHeight = true
        end
        if nukeAtTargetHeight then
            local nukeVelocityDir = nuke.CFrame.LookVector
            local nukeTargetDir = CFrame.new(nuke.Position, player:GetMouse().Hit.Position).LookVector
            
            local nukeDegreesToTarget = math.deg(math.acos(nukeVelocityDir.unit:Dot(nukeTargetDir.unit)))
            local nukeAxisToTarget =  nukeVelocityDir:Cross(nukeTargetDir)
            local nukeTurnAmount = math.clamp(nukeDegreesToTarget, -nukeTurnRate, nukeTurnRate)
            
            if nukeDegreesToTarget > 0 then -- Temp stops nukedeg from NaN and removing fake rocket
                local rotCF = (CFrame.fromAxisAngle(nukeAxisToTarget ,math.rad(nukeTurnAmount)) * nuke.CFrame)
                local x, y, z = rotCF:ToEulerAnglesYXZ()
                nuke.CFrame = CFrame.new(nuke.Position) * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(x,y,z)
                nuke.Position = nuke.Position + nuke.CFrame.LookVector
            end
        end
    end

Currently im just very confused with the way it gets to its target by circling around multiple times getting slightly lower each time before it reaches its target. No idea how to get it to take the right turn if anyone knows how to make it get to the target normally would be much appreciated.
