Sunjah Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Lately, I've been getting bored with just shooting those tanks in the Tutorial 01 {The "Take-off and Blowed Some Stuff Upl} one, so I've been getting some practice at locking on to the trucks and buses (ha, even school buses, so evil :devil:). I seem to have no problem locking and tracking, then if I have missles left I pretty much always hit them, KA-BOOM!!! Here is where the problem is, though. Say I lock on one moving to the right, and blow it up, the camera continues to track to the right as though it was still tracking the vehicles which is now dust. I press lock target and try to move it; I've even pressed "o" to try and disengage the SHKVAL on the target (I know there is a pan around command to aquire target, which I thought was "o" but now am not sure). The "p" command says something about auto-tracking, but I never started that to begin with and it also has "/gun" in there. That led me to believe it was about the 30mm cannon. So, in short, after you have designated a target and blown it up, is there a way to reset the current target ONLY. I know backspace resets the whole system, and when I press and hold lock-target, I can move it somewhat but as soon as I stop, presto it is back to slewing as it was with the moving target. Makes trying to kill the next commuter bus, um, I mean, deadly bad tank, very difficult. Thanks for your responses! Remember, on Nov. 4th, vote for Black Shark for President!!!
JDski Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 What I do is hold down the lock target button, and move the SHKVAL away from the target while I'm still holding the lock target button. Seems to work fine most times and I've never seen what your seeing happen.
Sunjah Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Yes, that is what I mean, most of the times that works for me as well. Since I've been targeting "moving vehicles," though, I've been experiencing this "wandering" of the SHKVAL. Holding down the target while I move it is somewhat akin to fighting-the-Auto-Pilot. No matter what I do it wants to go the direction it wants, and as soon as I release the target-lock button, it starts all over again. Remember, on Nov. 4th, vote for Black Shark for President!!!
Frederf Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 The phantom tracking after target hit is normal, There should be a п symbol where the normal "TA" was for tracking and this for calculated rates mode. Remember that the aircraft has no idea that you hit the target! All it knows it lost tracking and is trying its best to guess. I think in real life you would not get tracking interruption since the target is just as there visually before and after hit. What you want to do is press-n-hold the Lock button and get it ground stabilized on the terrain and out of rates mode. By the way, ground stabilize will wander if you don't have the right laser range to the point of interest. I have had the Shkval just go wandering way away before in a crazy way. That is annoying though.
