phantomknight321 Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Is this bug ever gonna get fixed? It's been a long time since it was first reported. Kinda getting crazy how long it's taken As mentioned by someone else, can you please point out what particular bug you are referring to? Though I rarely use the sidearms (harrier is not a proper SEAD platform! Would usually rather save those rails for AIM-9s instead!) when I have carried them for their intended purpose of self defense against radar AAA, I have had no issues employing them. That said, perhaps there is just something I have not experienced before... Perhaps if you: 1. Post this thread in the problems and bugs subforum so the devs know where to look and, most importantly... 2. Be as elaborate and helpful as possible in outlining the bug you are experiencing. Simply posting that your wondering when a bug will be fixed and that your tired of waiting helps nobody.

Kang Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Well, it works, but I at least have some trouble with the HUD symbols with it. I can tell it locks a target by the sound, but the HUD reticle more or less seems to jump to a semi-random position and just stay there (as in, same corner of the HUD, not spot in view), when turning the plane or even locking up with a second missile. I have my doubts it is supposed to do that. But then, while it may still need work, it is operational.
chief Posted October 19, 2018 Author Posted October 19, 2018 sidearm works great for me.... just have to turn them off between launches Exactly. All you have to do is ask in the server I play on “did they fix the sidearm bug yet” and everyone knows exactly what you mean.
johnv2pt0 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Also, if you've selected A-A gun mode, you cannot launch them until hopping in a new jet. Sidearms are definitely still bugged.
StandingCow Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 You have to constantly select them... the target symbol doesn't point to what it is shooting at, sometimes selecting it from the loadout screen it refuses to fire (shoots the gun instead). 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo
jeffyd123 Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 You have to constantly select them... the target symbol doesn't point to what it is shooting at, sometimes selecting it from the loadout screen it refuses to fire (shoots the gun instead). I have noticed that the gun tends to be on a lot, especially after I drop all of my bombs. I usually switch it off when Im using the sidearms. I have recently mapped the #7 button on the ACP to a hat switch so i can easily turn my sidearms on and off and its working 98% of the time now. I just make sure I have enough altitude for the sidearm to make it to the target without hitting any trees or buildings. Wild Weasel missions are too fun now. hug those SAMs baby... i7 8700K @ 4.4Ghz, 16G 3200 RAM, Nvidia 1080Ti, T16000 HOTAS, TIR5, 75" DLP Monitor
Eldur Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 sidearm works great for me.... just have to turn them off between launches Which is the bug that's been talked about.
Dr.SquirrelBoy12 Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 When you launch the sidearms without a lock are they supposed to go around in a circle till they crash? Not sure if that is a bug or not but I thought it was interesting behavior.

Fri13 Posted October 30, 2018 Posted October 30, 2018 I have now read many different kind bugs in Sidearm launching parameters, but not a single one that the OP is referring to.....
