can not reproduce George's Helllfires miss, miss, miss and he is "engaging" but isn't

[Rongor]

Relatively short track (93 MB) this time.
First 5 minutes are startup, then I take off, left turn, looking for targets.

Trying to attack a tank in 7 km distance. All Hellfires (3 or 4, lost count in frustration) miss.

With the last missile the usual problem: "engaging", then - no action.

I was shot down then by the AI opponents. REDFOR doesn't employ Georges apparently.

Hi, 

it is a combination of things. 

Range, line of sight, and rushing George. 

When George has a target check the VID feed, you will see him settling his cross hairs on the target once stable then give him permission to fire.

Thanks @BIGNEWY, will observe this in future tests.

 Hey BN, so this “settling of crosshairs” drift looking movement, that’s intended? I thought I might be a bug but wasn’t sure. It’s to make George more human I assume?

George just lets his crosshair wander around when he looses sight of the target. A real human would anticipate target movements behind obstacles or look to where he anticipates the target to reappear. Then once he reacquires, he snaps back to the target. It's a mess and if it's intended, it's not right.

Think you are are talking about 2 different things.

First one is when George is slewing onto a target. One can see the crosshair might not be 100% on target, but slightly off, then for a few seconds the crosshair creeps closer to center of target. And you have positive lock. I guess this is to simulate a human doing the final adjustment to be on point before lasing and firing.

Second one is when George loose sight of target.
