reported Petrovich launches ATGMs outside of range when set to Weapons Free

[MA_Seyo]

Hello! When performing an ATGM attack with Petrovich in the front seat he will launch ATGMs outside of range if set to Weapons Free. In Wags' ATGM tutorial he describes that Petrovich should only fire once within range (timestamped link) and on page 71 of the Quick Start Guide the Weapons Free mode is described as "If ROE is green (Weapons Free), Petrovich will launch and guide an ATGM as soon as launch parameters are met.".

 

However, in my tests with Weapons Free mode Petrovich will launch an ATGM as soon as his sight is on target and he gets a launch tone. This seems to happen about 7.5 km from the target, making the missiles detonate mid-air since they do not have enough energy to reach the target from that range. This is consistently reproducible. Here's a video showing the issue using Active Pause.

Hi, we are aware of this, Petrovich is trigger happy and likes to fire outside of optimal range. It will be adjusted in a future update. 

 

For now my advice is not to allow him to free fire, I like to control when he launches. 

 

thanks
