Laser Designator does not work properly with helicopter Firing from Vehicle positions
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

If you try to lase a target with the laser designator through the firing from vehicle position in a helicopter, you will instead lase in the direction of which your resting weapon is pointing.

The character holds his weapon in a resting position with the laser designator in the other hand. The laser dot will appear where the gun is pointing, not the laser designator.

From my testing, this seems to be a helicopter thing, as it did affect:
• Sides of the Hummingbird • Taru - Sitting on the Bench attachment • Back of the Huron • Back of the Mohawk.

It was not a problem in the following vehicles: Offroad, Tempest or Zamak.

No mods were active while testing this. {F25554} {F25555}

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Make it night-time.
  2. Equip Night Vision Goggles and a Laser Designator with batteries.
  3. Get into a helicopter Firing from Vehicles position.
  4. Use the laser designator.
Additional Information

Most obvious while sitting in the Taru (Bench) or Hummingbird.

This is not only a visual bug. A UAV will attack where the dot is, not where you are pointing the laser designator.
