IAT working erratically?

[skypickle]

I followed Wags video on the the IAT.

 

 

But despite spamming that button, I cannot seem to lock on. Attached is a track where I am in a stable hover and although I can engage the LMC, the IAT does nothing. You can see the IAT button moving on the LHG but I do not get the symbology or the tracking in the TEDAC.

I can lock up redfor just fine, but what if we are going after a badee in a regular vehicle?

IAT tends to break easily in tracks in my experience so I can't trust what I'm seeing on the track. The only time I've had trouble using IAT is if there's a weird obscure condition like a small ridge or object between me and the target. If only part of the vehicle is visible, then IAT usually doesn't work. Never had any problems using it to lock up friendlies, hostiles, or neutrals.
