Before this update (2.37 Seek and Destroy), when using a Targeting Pod (TGP) on an aircraft you could lock moving ground targets in a similar fashion to how helis lock ground vehicles, with a green box, and with another input, a circle within the green box to guide the munition more precisely as shown below.
However since 2.37s implementation these aircraft can no longer acquire target lock:
- F-14B (LANTIRN)
- F-16C (LITENING II)
- AV-8B+ (LITENING II)
- A-6E TRAM (Internal Camera)
- Su-25T (Internal Camera)
- Tornado Gr.1 (TIALD)
- Harrier GR.7 (TIALD)
- Gripen C (UK) (LITENING II)
- Q-5L (K/PZS-01)
- JH-7A (K/ADC03A)
- AV-8B+ (ITA) (LITENING II)
- Gripen C (ITA) (LITENING II)
- Mirage 2000-5F (Damocles)
- Mirage 4000 (ATLIS II)
- Jaguar A (ATLIS II)
- Mirage 2000D-R1 (CLDP)
- JAS-39A (LITENING II)
- Barack II (LITENING II)
Aircraft that are not affected:
- Su-39 (Mercury)
- Su-25SM3 (Internal Camera)
- Mig-27K (Internal Camera)
- Tornado ASSTA (LITENING II)
After looking through all the above camera, I do not have an idea of what caused this bug, but it is a substantial nerf to the vehicles effected, hitting a moving tank becomes nearly impossible unless you sit in the TGP camera and fly straight.
I do not have all vehicles with a TGP spaded, (Jaguar GR.1B/Kurnass 2000/Gripen C (SWE)) so If those vehicle also have issues please comment below. The purpose of this thread is to spread awareness and have a light hearted poke at a development bug that affects most of us.
