At first, I thought maybe the trees were lock with the target acquisition, but then I played a desert level and the trees weren’t interfering anymore; the missile simply couldn’t lock onto the target. Burning tanks, yes, but not the target. Please fix this bug.
I’ve had this happen in the Z-10ME too, no idea why it happens but usually I go closer to the enemy or switch targets to see if I can get a lock
This isn’t a bug. A burning tank emits more heat, so the missile can lock onto it from that distance. Fly closer…
So the AH-64E has a lock-on range of 3-4 km? I’d like to know what documents provide this information.
I had this happen with Spice, Chinese IR Bombs, LMUR, BA-11, and CM-502. I think they broke IR seekers.
Yes
It’s either a bug or a feature I’m not aware of, sometimes the missile refuses to lock a target even though it’s in locking distance, it works fine if you just go for a different target or keep spamming the lock key. The videos in the thread show the behaviour better
Sometimes the target is lock immediately, but sometimes you just can’t lock it at 4 km. This is clearly a bug.
