av8B explodes the second you fire apkws while hovering

hi so i was testing out the av8B and i tried out the apkws rockets on it while using the over mode, just trying to use it as if it were a heli.
so what ended up occuring is that if you fire them in hover move your jet will just explode, ive checked making sure nothing is in the way, no landing gear no flaps, nothing obstructing the rockets.

so idk if anyone else experienced this but yea it needs to be fixed.

You can bug report it here (just search a bit first so that you don’t report something that is already reported and known about): (Gaijin.net // Issues)

Probably less funny when you spent time grinding a jet only for it to blow up when you try using its gimmick.
But yeah it’s still kinda hilarious tbh

In fairness. Attacking from the hover is entirely science fiction. Was never ever done IRL and would never ever be done

It is purely for landing and taking off. With pilots getting creative and learning how to use VIFF.

Yeah but it’s fun and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work irl, even though it’s not made for it

Gotta post a link to make it easier for people to support your report 😉 I found it, here is your report’s link: Community Bug Reporting System

I mean irl, the nozzles going past 25 degrees disables all weapons systems, so yes a harrier firing from a hover is complete fiction.

Yeah but it shouldn’t explode, at most it should just block weapons
