TEL Launcher is apparently bone stock (lower horizontal and vertical traverse despite being a Type 81C), and TADS vehicle radar rotates incorrectly

it always active right? so no need to try activate the missile, just use the fire missile and it will go?

Mad dog is basically u can fire the ARH and the ARH’s own radar will track

however it decides nah i dont wanna track or just dont fire at all

seeker is stuck in ACQ mode and will not allow you to fire

yes, i have not get they TADS yet but i can test drive it. the maddog is simply just use the missile launch/fire button (in my case left click), no need to do anything else

it’s because they made it always active now, you only need to fire it no need to activate it again

yea I have to unload and reload the ARH to be able to fire it, even then it MIGHT just work

have you attempted to reproduce it with the same conditions I’ve outlined in the bugreport?

i could record it if you want.

sure. If there is evidence to the contrary I’d appreciate the footage.

sorry had to upload to youtube because the file a little to big

In the bug report, the screenshot is in a match. Maybe try replicating in a match?

haven’t got the TADS yet so i can’t really do live/custom match

I remember OP talking about how some cannot be replicated in a Test Drive. Not sure if this is one of them though.

Tan-SAM Kai: Reopening Seeker Blocks ARH Launch in MADDOG

I found one secondary source stating that the radar rotates azimuthally during all-around search, but it will take about two weeks to arrive, and one source is not enough.

ARH

if you insist

@Zulizia well the thing is the missile should be launch-able without activating the missile again, if you re-activate it, it will lock it self without be able to launch.

Is there a bug report for the incorrect missile model too?
When using the ARH one it still has the IR seeker modelled instead of the pointy radar nosecone

Id make one myself but im generally not very good at bug reports here and i believe its difficult to find a reference image for them (although common sense would tell you it isnt a IR seeker)
