LAV-AD Why is the aiming of the Hydra rockets so far off?

That one kinda sucks IMO, too cluttered to read fast.

This pack has some rly good ones

I use this custom sight works really well

Yes that’s all they have to do I assume, is just design a detailed sight for the rockets combined with the mini gun reticle.

But, just as someone above said, even at 20m it drops down too low to the ground, which just seems off. It seems way too soon to drop this way. I think the sight needs a rework for all players / or console addition and I think the rocket firing distance before drop needs a rework. Both items need addressing.

I got too used to reading the numbers right next to the cross lol, if you move them to the side like the default ones then I will most likely miss my shot. I haven’t tried others lately, my current version already started having some issues as I’m getting varying text sizes every match and I have to reload the custom sight by deselect and reselect it again for them to load the correct text size on the reticle, I think it’s the updates that break them.

I believe this about the updates. Because I now have to go make another post and bug report once again because after this update the USA ADATS missiles are messed up again, acting all crazy all over the place and when firing acting as top down like a Javelin and going way over the targets.

We had this dam problem last year after updates and now it’s happening again. It took them forever to fix it before because they were arguing it was “working correctly” before I guess they finally realized how wrong they were or were caught doing it on purpose as long as they could 🤷

If you are going to report the rockets, try consulting the motor section of TM-43-0001-30 to get the right ejection velocity for the motor in question, the Hydra 70 series uses the Mk 66 motor .

As per the document it leaves the launcher at 148ft/sec [~45m/s]

Gotcha

If you have “select secondary weapon” bound you can get a sight just for the rockets, although the lrf is not correct, I’ve notified gaijin but at this point I doubt they will ever do much.

I’d highly recommend using this sight WT Live // Sight by shangxiang I’ve managed to get 1km+ kills with it

Lol, you should see the aiming of the hydras on helicopters without a ballistic computer xD
