Katsu Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) Hello mates! Don`t know if it is a known bug but every time that i fire a sparrow F or M they don`t track the enemy, 10 of 10 times that i tried it wont work (master arm, missile prep on, tried pal lock and jester lock both dont guide the missile), and is very easy to reproduce just equip a 7m or 7f and try shoot. PS: MH version works normal. Video and track added: https://streamable.com/1bsc1o aim7.trk Edited April 5, 2021 by Katsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcoscosta Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Well, the difference of DCS Sparrow and the Zuni Pod is the Zuni have 19 rockets. 1 Computer: Potato Modules: FC3 | M2000C | A/V8B | Viggen | F-5E | F-14B | F-16C | F/A-18 | A-10C | Supercarrier :mad::mad: | UH-1 | MI-8 | Gazelle | KA-50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Already reported. Only jamming targets are affected ie. Su-24 or Su-27 w/ jamming pods. Funny thing, AIM-7M fired from F-15C tracks just fine against the same targets.

Torbernite Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Tested today on F-14, hornet and F-15C, found all 7M and even 7E from 15C works now but 7F from any of them still no tracking in the exactly same condition. Seems that now 7F tracks nothing beyond 6 nmiles without ECM, 7M tracks from longer rage but nothing with ECM, 7MH works even with ECM.

Skysurfer Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 It's pretty annoying to have this game-breaking bug be present for this long. Can't think of any patch where Sparrows on the Tomcat worked as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roosterfeet Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Still can't get AIM-7M and MH to track SU-24. Assume it's still the jammer issue. Ryzen 5 3600, Radeon RX 5600 XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roosterfeet Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I did some more testing and figured out the MH failing to track was due to the ACM cover. With the ACM cover down it tracks SU-24s just fine. With the ACM cover up, locking a target changes the missile mode indication from BORE to NORM but it still doesn't track, honestly, I don't think it's trying to boresite either. The AIM-7M on the other hand won't track the SU-24 but will track the SU-25 as has been previously documented. Also, I left the ACM cover alone for that test. F14 7MH ACM cover.trk F14 7MH tracks.trk F14 7M SU24 SU25.trk Edited June 17, 2021 by Roosterfeet Ryzen 5 3600, Radeon RX 5600 XT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
