Greyhawk UAV armed with DAGRs/Scalpels can't lock onto laser targets.
New, NormalPublic

Description

  • SACLOS Guidance: (by that I mean, missiles that follow your cursor) (fixed in one of the latest devbranch updates)

    SACLOS guidance doesn't work with munitions equipped in a Dynamic Loadout vehicle variant, both the DAGR and the Scalpel will simply shoot straight. Whereas in the normal variants(pre Jets DLC), the missiles will work as expected and follow the cursor.
  • It doesn't seem to be possible to lock onto laser targets with a DAGR/Scalpel on a Greyhawk UAV.

    Even when flying it directly head on to a laser target, the lock diamond will flicker constantly between full lock and partial lock (dashed lines), missiles fired will always miss.

On the MQ-12 Falcon, locking via lasers works fine.

Seems like they fixed SACLOS (manual) guidance in one of the latest updates.

Locking onto lasers from a Greyhawk doesn't seem to work at all,
