Radar Missiles not shooting or spooling up

this issue has been around for so long, sometimes when i get a radar lock and click shoot the missile won’t shoot or even spool up, its like my pilot is having a panic attack. this issue is so annoying. although it never happens in test flight, please fix this gaijin i beg

This can happen when you’ve lost control, could that be the issue?

No it’s not that have happened many time to me I can just keep the radar lock and keep hitting the missile button for fire it just won’t

bro, im not that dumb bruh, i know you cant do anything when you’re g locked i rarely experience the glock anyway i have ace crew gang

Just trying to be helpful, for all I know you had 10 hours on warthunder. Many game mechanics are obscure.

Are you accidentally on irst?

Are you talking about the issue where they turn on for a second and then immediately turn back off? Cause I’ve had that issue with ir missiles too.

I’ve had it the most with r77’s though.

I only ever experience this on the MiG-21S (R-13-300) and the R-3R missile where I have to spool the seeker three times in a row often resulting in a death or lost kill because it refuses to spool the first time in a head-on while the enemy is 1km-4km away.

Doesn’t always happen but happens enough to be a notable issue, cant say I have personally experienced it on any aircraft/missile outside of that though. I chalk it up to being a incredibly unreliable missile/radar combo but who knows really.

Okay I managed to replicate the problem and created an issue: Community Bug Reporting System

It is 100% a bug, it even shows a missile approach timer for a non-existent missile.
