Soo i had a match where i accidentaly killed a teammate. Then i was shooting RVV-AE at F-15, but somehow it hit my teamamte and i got kicked from the game… I was praying that i didnt get banned, but thank god i didnt. Why the hell it likes to lock on teammates soo much

How are you locking them? With TWS, ACM or HMD?

Im using HMD most of the time

First:

Relax, you don’t get banned for doing that once or even twice if it’s an accident.

Now… this may happen for a variety of reasons:

  • You’re launching missiles on weak locks (One white circle over target = weak lock, two red circles over target = strong lock to be short) which leads to the radar homing seeker to find the target again by its own, hitting allies.
  • You’re launching missiles top down, which also leads to the missile going IOG and losing lock, and when it gets a lock back, it may go to an ally, same as above.

Either way, we need more context.

on that specific F-15 it was 2 red circles… and it was straight launch

If your HMD is over a teammate and you press lock, then it will lock them. HMD doesn’t check if it is an enemy or teammate like TWS would.

If the missile itself is chasing a teammate after you fired on an enemy, could be that the missile lost lock and reacquired using its own radar. Its radar doesn’t discriminate either.

yeah could be, but i saw that allot of people are talking about this issue on su30mk2 specifically

that is because a bunch of people who dont know how to use the missiles are buying it

okay :)

as @Alpharius11348 said, its because it is a new top tier premium for one of the biggest nations in War Thunder. WT is big in Russia and there’s lots of Communist/USSR nerds out there so it’ll always be one of the most played nations, therefore inviting way more skill issue. The MiG-23 has loads of bad players but the plane itself is great :)
