There is something weird with the Tor M1 and the HQ-17.
The Tor M1 is able to instantly lock onto a target by clicking on it on the radar map. But the HQ17 is unable to do so. You have to litterally aim at it manually and have visual contact, or just try for hours to blindly lock a target that’s several kilometers away and not rendered to lock it.
This makes the HQ17 (higher in BR and an improved Tor) way less capable than the Tor M1. How so ?
Maybe you were using IRST in the HQ-17 and radar in the Tor-M1? IRST is really inconsistent with lock range. Sometimes you can get a lock at maximum range, sometimes the target is clearly visible and you can’t lock it. Radar can lock regardless of weather, clouds etc
Thanks for the reply, but sadly I was using radar lock not IRST. Whenever I use IRST, I shut down the radar or I switch to IRST through the ingame menu (Y,[1],[4]). I double checked it, “IRST” does not appear on the upper left corner whenever i’m locking by default :(
