Yeah, the su 25T is my choice. I loved the a10 but i gave up. There is no point in flying it anymore. The Su-25T seems to have absolutely NO problem lockign onto any target i point at, only thing that lags a lock is distance from target. A10.... well in the video i posted, one thing keeps happening over and over, at 0:30, that aa vehicle, is a Bizniatch to lock on to. BUT. You will get a lock ONCE it fires, or just before, or just after. But never otherwise. Sometimes even if it fires you wont get a lock, lol. And these are vehicles that are part of missions that we are supposed to take care of, i cant just ignore them... Sometimes i get so close that im TOO close, and have to just go for a gun run instead, and get chewed up by something else in the area, OR the damn thing fires on me as im abotu to gun run it and i have to bugger off... Ehh. So i decided to quit the a10 untill DCS a10 comes out. But i do however see the point that they wanted to make it more realistic or challenging in a way. Otherwise the a10 would not have a single ground threat against it, you just dominate everything. But that could have been easily solved by simply shortening the lock range, within the AAs fire range capability, giving you a 50/50% chance of survival. But the stupidity of the lack of lock on absolutely COLD buildings on my very last clip was the final straw for me, lol. I pulled up form that attack, and exited the game out of anger and frustration.

Yep. In the very last clip, i just freaking gave up. I had a CLEAR lock on the back apc, unlocked, and tried to lock another vehicle. But as you saw, a cold building was MUCH more preffered by the MAV. Look, i keep being told that this is normal by a MAV due to lower heat signatures in certain vehicles. Ok, to a degree I can understand it, and respect it, technology isnt perfect. However, there should be a variance in heat signatures then for these types of vehicles. Just like the buildings are not as hot, there should be a variance in the diff types of vehicles too. Or would it still show up the same?

Apologies for the long wait, i have been away for some time. Here are a few clips i made showing exactly what i mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7i-XqRyjz8

working on video now.

Their solution... was none. They said to use mouse to slew the seeker. However it does not fix the whole, "Its locking on to everything but the targets" problem.

Ok This video just shows one little problem. Its a vid i made a while back when i first played FC2, im a FC1 vet, so im trying to lock on to the target on the left as you can see, but it ONLY and ONLY wants to lock on to the one target, so i was forced to go for that one instead. I will make a MUCH more clearer picture of whats going, but its exactly the same thing as in those other threads. Skip to 1:53, or watch the entire thing if you like it.

IS there a patch in the making? or something? Anything? I will post a video of it as soon as i can, but it will be a youtube vid.

Many many complaints on the mavericks from a few people including myself. What has happened since FC1? The mavericks are completely off, they dont seem to recognize targets. I can be 2 miles out from a target and it will target a building or something completely arbitrary to the side half a click away from it. Additionally, you cannot pick specific targets either. Per say, a column or armor, you spot the highest threat and want to engage, but the maverick will only pick up on the lead and trail target, or sometimes the third one from the beggining or back.... :mad: Whats happened? I would understand if it behaved like this if i were about 8 miles out, but not when i get as close as 2 miles... Every single AA is easily engaging me before i can get a lock on them, and i have to bug off before attempting another run... even if he is the ONLY target around in an open field... I have tried different altitudes with the same results... Is this a bug, a feature, or what? PS: i made 5 of my friends buy this game, all 5 are experiencing the same problems.
