Fix the TV bugs (or create new ones in the process)

[Sloi sauce]

1. TV will mysteriously veer off in random directions after firing for no apparent reason.

2. TV will not respond to clicks/redirection.

3. TV will not register when hitting the target.


It makes it really difficult to destroy anything when these three bugs keep occuring: sometimes, I'll get them all for like, 5 missiles in a row. It wasn't like this before your stupid patches... maybe you should review your code more thoroughly before releasing it to the general public.

The only one I've seen is #2, but not very likely.

seen 2 and 3....also sometimes it makes the firing noise but nothing comes out.

It happens to me all the ****in' time now: I can't go three or four missiles without one of the bugs rearing its ugly head. When you think about it, one TV missile might mean the difference between owning up and having to fight your way back in the air... and it's very annoying to always get one of these when it matters the most.

Not necessarily a dud... but it could be... or one of the aforementioned.

I've experienced all three an infinite number of times. For the tv missiles that like to randomly veer off in different directions you'll find that if you recallibrate the mouse by going into the tv missile view and moving it in complete circles several times and then clicking a button on the mouse the next time it will fire straight. There're more...

4. TV Missile silently locks onto friendly vehicles. If a friendly vehicle is the first to come into locking distance of the missile, and even though the player gets a lock onto a following enemy vehicle. The missile will prefer to lock onto and destroy the friendly vehicle.

5. After switching from cockpit to tv view several times the tv missile starts to fire from the cockpit and view changes can only be made from tv view. This is usually accompanied by a complete reload failure of the tv missile payload.

1st one ive experienced a couple times. it essentially only happens when i lag spiked.

2nd ive had ALOT and just cant be lag.

3rd. WORST ONE YET. ive had alot of just going straight through. and direct hits not killing or damaging at all. Like i see that little yellow x thing saying that i hit. and i could see it was right on. but nothing. moreover, ive literally solo missled a tank twice with no kill. So i just went in for hellfire. i hit at least 6 out of 8 and got the kill.Very wierd.

How often does this usually happen? Not that often really. ITs probably more related to rounds than amount of missles.

There's also a 4th bug.

no thats called NEwbitis. It is the end-user not the software.

Re: Fix the TV bugs (or create new ones in the process)

From the latest ea update regarding patch 1.3

Friendly Vehicle lock: Lock-on weapons do not lock on to friendly vehicles. The box with an X through it will still appear, but a lock tone will not sound and then if fired, the missile will not track the friendly target.

EA considers it a bug.

I have experienced #1 when I was screwing around on dragon valley by myself, but i could regain control by clicking a few times in the proper direction.

I really hate no. 2. You click and little cross goes where you click but nothing fires. Today I tried once and it took 4 clicks to actually fire the damn thing.

Re: Fix the TV bugs (or create new ones in the process)

i've gotten all mentioned including one were the missile reloads twice. nothing ****es me more off when the tv double reloads.

The original poster is referring to the Attack Choppers TV missiles, while thingonaspring is referring to the bombers Laser Guided missiles.

Re: Fix the TV bugs (or create new ones in the process)

I've experienced all of the above with the TV missles in the bomber. The only soultion is to bail out of the jet and get a new one after it's crashed.
No problems with the helo's tv-missle tough.
