cannot reproduce Unable to fire COOP rockets in single player, sometimes

[amadeus]

I've attached a track file when i was playing a mission from the new apache campaign. 

This has happened before and I can't seem to explain why, but sometimes no matter how much i pull the trigger, WAS/unwas rockets, switch CPG off and back onto rocket, rockets do not fire in COOP mode.

Is there something I am missing? 

Also this track has me expending nearly all my gun ammo, unable to hit two trucks, and I feel like this too may be a recent issue, but feel free to roast me if I just suck.

Ok, this is even worse. I'm being gaslit. The track shows the rockets firing, when in fact not a single rocket would come off the rail, lol.

Clearly there's some deeper bug at play, because this very clearly breaks under certain circumstances that are not understandable to me.

Also interestingly enough, when watching back the replay, where the truck moves too after being shot at is different than in the mission when I was actually playing.

Lol man, I just want to be able to enjoy this module as is, and it seems not even a single player session is safe from something going wrong outside of my control and completely ruining the mission.

If that track is from the new paid campaign that came out, I think only people that have purchased it will be able to view it.

First guess would be, have you selected which rockets to fire?

Maybe a screenshot showing the symbology you were seeing when it wasn’t working?

[amadeus]

I had only 1 rocket type, so there was none to select. I did go to the weapons page to confirm nothing was amiss. I think what makes this extra annoying is that this track shows the rockets firing just fine, so clearly the helicopter was setup properly.

I have the feeling the game gets into some weird state with the AI CPG. A bit like how sometimes George won't fire his guns unless I (the pilot seat) WAS the guns.

Next time I get into this state, I can record video, but honestly I don't think it's something relative to that setup, given the track files shows me running out of rockets within seconds because i was attempting to fire constantly with nothing happening.

Any thoughts from ED on this? I submitted a track as well, I guess it's hard to prove the actions in the track differed from what i experienced, but maybe it offers some clues?

Maybe it's the campaign that is the problem?

Did you try to create simiple mission and see if you can fire rockets there?

Hello @amadeus

Indeed your track isn't really helping your cause, here.

Like @admiki suggested, this could very well be a mission issue (somehow). 
Can you try to reproduce this issue in a sigleplayer mission? I certainly couldn't, coop rockets seem to work ok for me each time I tried.

[amadeus]

Thank you for the responses!

This is definitely an issue that pops up randomly, usually I am able to fire coop missiles no problem. Occasionally I get a mission where I can't.

I can look to see if I can make a mission where it reliably repros but my guess it's probably something deeper.

Bummer that the track differs from what actually happened in the mission, but ultimately shows that I had the helicopter set up right.
