reported Ka-50 - Shkval jumps after a target is destroyed

[NightMan]

Since update 2.8, the Shkval started to jump a little down after a target is destroyed.

I have seen it jump to the side also, but it's mostly down.

In the attached screenshot we can see were the box ended up after the target was destroyed.

I'll need a track for this one please.

Here are a few tracks where the problem can be seen.

The third one is where it is most obvious.

Reproduced and reported.

[NightMan]

I have just tested version 2.8.1.34437, and this hasn't yet been corrected.

[NightMan]

Version 2.8.2.35759.
Not yet solved.

[NightMan]

This appears to have been corrected in version 2.8.3.38090.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi!

 

I am sorry to bother you again with this, but today in a Multiplayer mission I found out that with foot soldiers it still bounces.

When foot soldiers are killed the Shkvall jumps and slews around by itself, and (please don't laugh) some soldiers get up, only to die a second time.

I leave a small track here.

I'm able to reproduce the issue with infantry. I'm also able to reproduce the same issue with vehicles on the condition that the reticle size must not be the smallest.

Issue reported (again ).

Hi!

I haven't flown the Kamov for some time, until today.
And I noticed this problem is back.
Please; report it again, as it is quite annoying.

 

Thank you.

Doubling reports would annoy devs as much as this bug annoys you. I'll bump the existing report instead.

I don't want to push after almost one and a half years, but how good are the chances that the bug will be fixed before BS 4.0?
It's a lot of fun when you sneak up on the target in MP for 20 minutes and then just watch the Shkval start playing ping pong.

I've just bumped the internal report.

yes shkval still goes crazy after 10 years, unfortunately dev team didn't pay attention to this important problem. you can move or copy this thread to ka50 III section since it's happening there too.

No need, both modules share many parts, Shkval included.

When common parts are fixed, the fix works for both modules.
