investigating F6 missile external view exits before impact

[Machalot]

Since the 2.7 patch the F6 missile view exits just before warhead detonation. It used to stay on the target so you could watch the explosions and destruction, but now you don't get to watch the fun. Is anyone else seeing this? 

 

I can't make a track tonight but will do so at my next opportunity.

Yes, it is broken. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. Just as the missile impacts the view will randomly switch to a scrolling F11 view and you won't be able to control the camera, just switch to a different view

I concur, I came in to post this bug and saw it had been reported already. Very occasionally it stays on the view for a fraction of a second after impact but mostly the view changes on impact.

 

Really miss seeing the effects of CBUs !!!!

strange, for me it looks correct, missile hits, view changes then to next missile.

I have seen this myself, but seemed inconsistent: sometimes camera immediately bugged out when missile impacts, instead of doing the usual zoomed out view showing the explosion and its effects on target. Other times it works as expected.

But this is not the behavior I normally saw before. In the past it would stay on the target so you could see the explosion and resulting damage, rather than switching away immediately.

I can still reproduce this bug 50% of the time with attached track above.
