known Dysnc bug player Pilot/CPG using Hellfire's, what we have found was a laser issue bug (may have been reported)

Doing a lot of flying last night 3x teams in MP as Pilot/CPG, we discovered that Hellfires were not tracking and hitting targets, 2 of the teams were having issues yet the 3rd team was hitting targets spot on.

All firing parameters were meet for this test, and we were all on different codes.

The difference between the 2 teams were the ones not hitting the targets the CPG did not get the big box in his screen just the small box, the team hitting the targets were getting the big lock on box.

What we found was that that 2x teams that could not hit targets the CPG could see the laser firing but the Pilot could not see it in his TADS screen, the team hitting the targets both Pilot and CPG saw the laser fire.

We jumped back into other HOT start Apaches and did the following tests on the ground.

Laser ON, GND override ON, A/S ON, CPG switched to TADS and fired the laser, if both the pilot and CPG saw the laser fire we would fly off and engage targets fine with out and issues, if the Pilot couldn't see the laser fire then the Hellfires would not work, we worked out just moved to a new Apache until we found one where both Pilot and CPG could see the laser fire before flying away,

This was very random, I had 8 Apache's in the mission all HOT start and it happened to every one at some stage in testing.

Hope this helps and maybe some one can replicate.

We had the same issue, always the small Box and the hellfire couldnt find the laser. Also the Pilot didnt see what the cpg saw on the TDEC.

when i was the CPG and my Pilot used the vid function on his mfd it wasnt the same like i saw with my.

Working as single MC ship worked for us. Last night we also tried buddy lasing. LOBL work most of the times, but LOAL mostly does not. Missile would just sail past. Few times we got hits, but that was rare.

We tried different channels and different freqs, just to make sure.

Today I flew as CPG with IRL AH64 pilot. Same thing. He was providing overwatch for me on WPN page and TADS video just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

After flying this morning with a friend on our server in separate Apaches and George as the CPG, I can report that this issue with the laser also affected us in this combination,,

In my Apache with Gorge as CPG I could see him fire the laser on the pilot TADS and with consent to fire he had a missile away, my mate never saw the laser fire on his pilot TADS and Gorge would not release the Hellfire's when he had a target locked and had consent to fire, all firing parameters meet Trigger on guard, A/S On.

As soon as my mate picked a new Apache and locked up a target he could see the laser fire on his TADS and Gorge engaged correctly.

In single player I always see Gorge lase in the pilot TADS

Hope this gets fixed or found as its a 50/50 chance you get a working Apache in M/P
