So I was playing on Clean Sweep earlier and I was lucky enough to get into the gunner seat on the F15 as soon as I joined!
First few fly-bys gave me a good few kills when suddenly the LGM started playing up.

I had 3 missiles left at all times (even after firing a few), as soon as I locked on to a target, the lock was lost, I lost my crosshair and sometimes the missiles didnt even fire despite numerous clicks! And when the missile did fire, it came out at strange angles.

Even after we got shot down and tried again - the same problem happened every time. Although I could now shoot the missiles and the ammo was depleted accordingly, the lock was lost every time. I was just left with a non existent crosshair and unable to keep locks, like below:

Manually guiding them worked I think once, but that was only when the missile came out on the right trajectory.

Im not a big time aviator, (only 7hours spent in a jet out of 734 so far!) - but is this a new or common problem?


I did search and came across this one: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=41122
But thats only related to the Su-30 PLA Bomber and doesnt quite mention what I had

EDIT: Fixed screenie link!

Lol, hate it when this happens with TV missiles, you cant fire them at all or get out of the TV screen.

it happened in me at least once every round when i used to fly or gun for bombers all the time with my clan, its one of those things you just have to deal with it and hope that nothing happens before you can fix the bug

An issue DICE thought most people would get used to. Lazy fucks.

I've found it helps if you don't switch views. As long as you stay in bomb view it doesn't happen as often. Just a theory. I don't get to be in that seat much.

I do know it's a problem with the seat, as I've bailed out, and been picked up again only for it to still be fucked up.

Yep I found tht staying in TV view stops the non lock, non fire, odd reload.

Hmmm, I might have to try that. I found it useful to come out of LGM view when up high out of the way and spot the enemy jets for the pilot (esp when on our tail). Maybe Ill try being selfish

I always get that shit when the TV locks up (and sometimes makes a "strange firing noise" yet it never fires..), so maybe ill try that too.

Oh well, at least its not a new bug to add to the ever growing list.
