No, I'm on Caucasus mostly.
But sure, if you use Nevada, it still hasn't got the update that fixes most of the issues related to lock.
And what is the bandit doing, then? Notching/beaming? Are you above or below him?
Are you familiar with doppler limitations?
Let's please (all) describe better what happens. As far as I saw it, it's never "random".
And again: if your target is beaming you, or if its relative speed is ~0, then a doppler radar will have problems.
How much remains to be seen, but unless you have a different scenario, it's theorically logic, and as such I see this as intended.
