Mavericks and Lamposts

[Hawkeye_UK]

Ok so this is on old problem but its getting more painful.

 

Why on the F16, Harrier etc will a AGM 65D/G etc attempt to constantly lock a lampost over a main battle tank that is right in front of it, nightmare when the tank's are moving also.

 

Time this issue was resolved, the lampost as an object needs looking at, it should have zero presence in game and not be targetable, but that fact that a slim 30cm wide pole creates a large visual lock than a tank, something somewhere is wrong with the code.

 

Please sort.

Oh, wait until you realize that the electrical wires between the poles are also something which the Maverick locks on to..... even thought they are not actually even rendered on the Maverick/TGP screen at maximum to medium ranges.

 

Even better when you have a moving vehicles on the road, next to lamp posts and you have to fiddle with the Hornet's ....interesting controls to lock up a moving vehicle in point mode, only for the TGP to prefer the stationary lamp post next to it every time

 

I had it flagged as reported some long time ago now, but ... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=270716

Yea i knew it had been reported but for some reason i couldn't find the post again so started a new one, apologies. Now you have linked i have bumped your original post in the hope that one of us gets some resolution.

 

Yes that's exactly what i meant re moving vehicle on the road, seems particularly bad in PG also, cannot get any IR mav's to lock.

 

Been driving me nuts for years lol and have to really on the Mav E which is not ideal in many situations plus required multiple passes over the AO.

 

Needs resolving urgently.
