Titan Missile won´t follow Laser Guidance
New, NormalPublic

Description

In the past it was possible to Lock on a TITAN AT Launcher to a Laser from a Laser Designator. This seems not the case anymore. You can "Soft"-lock the Laser with your Launcher as seen in Screenshot 1. (Often a lock is hard to achieve altough theres clear line of sight to the laser but thats probably another problem). There will be no beeping or a solid lock visual. Once fired the rocket will ignore the lock and just fly by wire. This happens with both AP and AT versions. Before you could get a solid lock and an audio signal and the missile tracked the laser as seen in Screenshot 2.

  4. Bob targets laser and locks with "T" (often a lock cannot be achieved, need to fiddle around a bit)
  5. Bob fires rocket and is wiggling with the launcher to see if the rocket tracks the laser of flies by wire.

It looks like in 1.66 this bug is solved. Tested it today with a friend again and I was able to lock onto the Laser designator and the missile tracked the laser too.
