How to make an effective bug report

About 6 month ago I made a very long and detailed bug report for the LOSATs guidance type. I put a lot of heart an effort into it, because I want to see one of my favorite vehicles actually be usable in-game. I had written out in detail the source of the problem, the fixes and their available sources, and how the current system negatively affects gameplay.

And the whole thing was labelled as “Not a bug” within the same hour I posted it. They claimed such sources were not valid, despite me seeing several bug reports gladly accept real life video evidence for reports.

I admit that the mentioning of FLIR was pushing it despite me offering it as a solution to the problem, but the fact still remains that the guidance system is entirely wrong. I’m just not sure how to effectively get that across to them. Any help on putting together a new report would be greatly appreciated

And there hasn’t been a peep since. The first one is a year old, and the second link was simply “acknowledged” and was just left open 8 months ago.

Considering the correct guidance type is already modeled in-game on other vehicles, it shouldn’t be as difficult to implement as it wouldn’t require a gigantic rework. To me it just sounds like they don’t consider the vehicle significant enough to fix, as hardly anyone uses it (Because its so painful to play lol)

Cause it’s still being worked on.
And technically no on the “is already modeled”.
It’s not actually modeled, it’s faked really well on other vehicles, but a permanent solution would be to implement it correctly so you don’t have to change it again in the future.
AKA wait for a major game change.

Like how the chaparrals have been broken since the last major update. Bug made the smokeless motors have smoke. The only difference between the stock missile and the upgrade was the smokeless motor…

Always appreciated

^ At times somethings may be known and or there are existing reports

Always feel free to PM Tech Mods and they may be able to give an update on the matter

It maybe known, feel free to PM Tech Moderators and they maybe able to tell you it is known or if it needs a report made
