I'm new to DCS and the KA-50 and have been having some issues with the Shkval and laser designation. Can someone confirm if these are known issues?
No launch authorization when locked on a target, and in range, and the hud sight is in position. Sometimes I have to flip the laser designater off and back on, sometimes switching to cannon and back to Vikhrs fixes it, and sometimes I have to reset the Shkval (and thereby losing my target lock save for DL) This happens to me pretty frequently.
And this is the first time this one as happened:
It just took me 10 Vikhrs to kill 3 T-72s. I'd launch them and they would just go straight into the ground. Not a near miss, it never even gets within 5km of the target (launching from 7.5-7.9 kms). It was easy to tell when it happened, as you couldn't see the smoke trail from the missile on Shkval. Kill 3 targets...RTB
