[REPORTED]Power lines, power line poles and Mavericks

[Shadow KT]

Power lines and power line poles have a heat signature and can be locked on to with the TGP and Maverick. Can something be done about this ?

 

In most cases, some of these objects are not even rendered on the TGP/Maverick (like the lines at all, and the poles only under a certain range), but can still be locked on to.

 

Makes hitting targets which are on roads, pretty hard. I am sure this is the case not only with poles and wires, but lamps and trees as well.

Indeed... I have observed the same behaviour.

Lamps as well.

in my tests it does seem the maverick favour the street lights.

Was really hoping that this had been resolved during my time away from DCS.

I am assuming we have to wait for the new thermal technology to see a change.

Although, I've seen some notes in a couple of open beta changelogs, about point track for TGPs improvements, relating to tracking scenery, instead of the target, so maybe it can be improved.

Either way, don't have my hopes up. Happens, when it happens.

Still seems to be a significant issue, especially on the Syria map.

The F-16 Stop Rockets Rolling IA mission is unplayable because the Mavericks will go for roadside lampposts every time. Even with a brightly contrasted rolling truck against cold terrain, they will never go for the truck.
