not a bug AGM88 bug?

[Danzig]

My MFD didnt show the sa6 today and the countdown didn't show... what is going on here

[Tholozor]

Can you replicate that with a track? Looks like some kind of integer overflow.

[Hartsfield_Matt]

I encountered a similar issue yesterday with an SA-6. It was in the table but failed to show up on the weapons screen. Curious!

[BIGNEWY]

please attach a short track replay showing it happen

 

thanks

[Danzig]

Try to replicate the error tomorrow, my trackfile is 20 minutes long and goes crazy after 5 minutes with me being shot down what never happened -_-

I am also having issues with the Harm in all modes on the F-16.  In HAS mode it won't identify the radar source, no matter what SAM is currently interrogating the aircraft.   Nor does the WPN page display what hardpoint the HARMS are loaded onto.  The option for picking the scan type at the top of the page is also missing.  When shooting in POS modes, the WPN screen will not show any information above or below the indicator line in any of the sub-modes...ruk, pb, ect........

 

This has all happened since the last update.

I just thought of something.....the F-16 currently allows you to load HARMS on 4,6,3&7.  Isn't the jet supposed to carry two Harms on 3 and 7 only?  Perhaps this is what is causing the issues????

it can mount the HARMs on all the stations 4/6 and 3/7, however, they can only be employed when equipped on 3/7 as of a recently communicated change by ED to represent the AC more accurately:

I had this same issue with harms on 4&6. Check if it happens to you with HARMS in those stations that seems "normal" as now you can't employ them from there.

 

Edit: Perfectly working from 3&7

Yeah,  3&7 works. Thanks

I also have the same problem.

AGM-88 work from stations 3 and 7 but not from 4 and 6.

While you can carry AGM-88 Harms on stations 4&6 you cannot deploy them. Was changed in the latest patch.

Screenshot below of the update that Wags gave. It is linked earlier in the thread.

Regardless if you are for or against 88's on 4&6, ED needs to take them out of the loading option for those hard points or put something in the weapon load out screen that announces those will not work, If not  this will be an ongoing thread in the F-16 section.

I agree, it seems this is creating lots of confusion, maybe it would be for the best to remove loading option for 4 and 6 all together. Just leave it on 3 and 7.

Agreed. It's confusing and makes little sense to introduce this edge case for one aircraft.
