For multiple times now in an open field, my type 93 struggles to lock onto helicopters roughly 2 km away. Is there some trick to get a lock or is it a bug?
The Type 93 just sucks, get used to it. The best way to play it is as a light tank with no guns; scout, cap, and run away.
I got that impression but what confuses me is planes dont have this issue being locked onto
Its a helicopter thing all missiles struggle to lock onto them
Try manually switching to optical tracking, most of the time auto doesn’t actually switch tracking mode.
When its low to the ground it doesnt lock for some reason. probably spaghetti code
I thought it had photocontrast mode
how do i do that on the type 93? This is the first spaa i unlocked that requires you to lock before launching the missile.
also i notice the type 91 spaa missiles locking were being messed up by flares launched form a helicopter. I though the missiles are resistant to flares
This setting, the default keybind is Alt + L but your maybe different. The optical tracking is the blue pic and IR tracking is the black and white. This also applied to the IR missile found on the Type 81 (C) and Tan Sam Kai later on.
thanks, the wiki is bare of useful info like this and i can lock int ohelis more often using just optical tracking
