Paul Roberts Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 Hi all, I'm stumped by my Vikhrs. I can't get them to fire. (This is with BS2, latest patch, no mods.) I believe I'm doing things correctly. In the downloaded Weapons Training mission, I follow instructions to the letter (pressing buttons only when asked, etc.), and I can launch my first Vikhr successfully. For the second target, however, I can't get a "C" to appear and indicate a lock, and the Vikhr won't fire. Range and angles are fine. I've double-checked all my switches (Master Arm on, Laser standby, pylon selected, etc.), and I have the target selected and boxed on the Shkval. I just can't get a "C" lock to allow launch, and when I hit Fire nothing happens. (Guns work fine if I race up into range.) What's more, when I go into the Instant Action Shooting Range, I can't even get a "C" lock the first time! No Vikhrs will launch at all. I'm sure I'm making some basic mistake, but I can't see what it is. I don't believe I'm burning out the laser since I'm not riding the lock key--I just tap enter once to try a lock. Please advise!
ShuRugal Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 after the first fires, there will be a count-down timer in the HUD, this timer must reach 0 before the next slavo can be fired. When the Vikhr aiming reticule reappears, then align it with Shkval reticule and fire away.

I knew about the timer, but I believe I've been failing to align the Vikhr aiming reticule with the Shkval reticule. I've just now managed to have some success with that. It's a big change from the god-like aiming limits of the Maverick!
