[CORRECT AS IS] MAV E bug?

[Direwolf]

I´m having some problems with MAV E (Laser guided), and I´d like to know if this is the real behavior or some bug:

 

1- After everything ready to shoot (target designated on FLIR, MAV uncaged and locked to the target, distance less than 6 nm), I still can´t get the cross out of the MAV symbol on HUD. So I press once the weapons release button, and then the cross disappears, so I press again an get the shoot. Is that the right procedure?

2 - After the first shoot, return FLIR as SOI, acquire a second target, turn LTD/R ON again, but the second MAV is already uncaged, and even pressing the cage uncage button (turn again MAV DDI as SOI), can´t get the missile caged anymore. And worst it doesn´t lock on the target (as acquired in FLIR). I have to unselect MAV on Store page, and turn it on again to get the target acquisition. So I press twice the weapons release button to get the shoot (first to erase the cross and the second to shoot).

You need LTD/R, not LST if you're designating target with your TPOD.

 

LST is to spot laser designation by other units.

I made an acronym mistake. I already made the correction on the original post. Of course I´m using LTD/R. Based on your answer you´re not having this problem, right? Have you tested this missile on the new update?

Ok for the acronym :smilewink:

 

I did in previous OB.

I had the same behavior that you describe.

 

I don't know if this is correct as IRL, but from my understanding:

- when EMAV uncaged, it is slaving its Line Of Sight (LOS) to TPOD LOS. But isn't a valid condition to shoot since the laser isn't emitting.

- when you hit pickle a first time, the laser start to illuminate the target. The EMAV then acquire the laser spot and is ready to shoot.

- pickle a second time, the missile shoot and guide.

 

Then LTD/R reset to OFF, and you need to cycle it again to ON for next firing pass.

 

I won't update on this one since the radar seems broken :doh:

Or, you can hit pickle one time and hold it until the missile leaves the rail. Both methods work.

Is this the real deal? Or just some shortcut for the bug? I mean, will this behavior be fixed in future hotfixes/updates?
