Much harder locking Mavericks' targets in 2.5

[Marcast]

Following Chuck's Guide procedure I find impossible to lock moving targets after 2.5 update. I made a test with a still target and it locks only when I'm closer than 2 miles, instead of around 7 miles before the update. Has anybody the same issue?

I was noticing this the other day. Wasn't sure what the deal was but I'm glad to see someone else replicating this issue. Prior to 2.5 around 7-7.5nm for a lock using the tpod/Mac combo.

 

Now less than 5nm. Not sure if it's a shading or contrast issue effecting the lock or how it's coded. Team Raz please look into this.

Me too. I'm finding that locking Mavs is very difficult unless you are right on top of them. More times than not, I can't even lock in anymore as I just get the larger crosshairs and rarely the locked in ones.

not happening for me in 2.5 caucasus. to confirm u need 2 nm only for moving ones or doesn t it matter?

could you please tell more details, which mav ir/tv?, and the map.

just because nevada temperatures are relevant too

I made some new test and it seems that the AGM65D works well, while the problem regards H and K type, which absolutely cannot lock moving targets and lock below 2 nm still targets. It's a Caucasus winter map, maybe the snow has something to do with that? I also noticed that H and K don't have the "stand by" phase but they are immediately ready as they are selected...

Same debate has been going on for A-10c and the mavericks for a while, I and others queried ED about it and they came back with no fault, working as it should, I am no expert so I can't dispute it.

k and h are equipped with tv-seekers not ir! thats why they need no cool down, lock should be contrast related, the more contrast the better/earlier, they are not night usable

A way around this is to use the force correlate mode in the A-10C...can extend range of mavs to 14-17nm (depending on altitude).

 

But I don't think the Harrier has this capability...need to ask a dev.

Mavericks locks fine here.... at least the D's in Nevada
