Mi-28NM LMUR missile often randomly drops target lock [bug report]

Hey everyone, the LMURs have been bugged since the last patch and randomly drop TRK lock into IOG on stationary targets, leading to misses. I’ve made a bug report. If you’ve had this happen, please click “I have the same issue” so the devs fix it faster: (Community Bug Reporting System)

They loft outside of gimbal and fly to space. Thats my conclusion

That’s what I also suspect, because AFAIK they changed the lofting parameters in the patch.

Yes, its really badly bugged at the moment

Weirdly though, the affected range seems inconsistent. In an earlier match I played, 2 out of the 8 LMURs tracked properly, the rest flew off into space. All at about the same range, same target and heli altitudes. Can’t seem to replicate the bug in test flight either, only in live matches.

edit - finally managed to replicate it in the test flight, at 3km range

Yep, same thing. I tried replicating it in test flight, with the exact params as in my video, but it works fine. Only breaks in live matches. Could you please tell me: in test flight, what altitude, and approximately AoA, and horizontal angle (meaning whether you launched straight at the target, or curved it?) to the target you used? And which target you aimed at - trucks, MBTs, IFVs?

In my experience, though, nothing really matters, no matter how perfectly you launch it, from any altitude or distance, at any target - sometimes it breaks, and sometimes it doesn’t.

Took a bit to find the exact spot again, 3km at a different spot worked properly in test flight

But the spot I can consistently replicate it at;

  • targeting the righthand Marder

  • 3km range

  • ~133° azimuth, launching straight at the target

  • hovering, which for the Mi-28NM is a slight ~3° AOA

  • 128m radar altitude

Nosing down the heli before launch from the same spot is successful, but anything level or above breaks lock in flight

edit - but keeping the same spot and turning to fire from about 25° to the side, even nosing down doesn’t help

Thanks, I’ll try it later when I have time!

have they fixed it yet?

It depends on your launch altitude and range, below 3.5km 200m height they always miss from my testing
