i have lock on him??? say what!!!

[Dragbag]

this little frase has bugged me for some time. cos only the gunner can hear it!!so you are talking to yourself:laugh: after all you know you are locked on when you hear the lock on tone..it should be that the pilot can hear it so as to help you keep the lock.........

This is for bomber gunners right? If so, I never noticed that. Most pilots fly too fast and dont give a crap about their gunners anyways

Yeah, only the copilot can hear it..drives me nuts.

Only the bomber hear the lock-on tone, yes. BUT:

once you get a lock-on, this voice (Bill Clinton ) says: "I'm locked on him" or something like this, and it also appears in the chat. So if the pilot keeps his ears open, he can easily find out when ur locked onto someone.

However only the co-pilot can see it or hear it.

Yes i am sure, only the Gunner hears AND can see the "lock on" message

The trick is I belive is to fire before you have a lock, and have a really good pilot. I have been able to get up to around 20 kills as co-pilot.

That was stupid on EAs part. The pilot needs to know that stuff.

Re: i have lock on him??? say what!!!

I was on a server with a good pilot last night. I'll admit that I'm no good at flying but he had a vacant bombers seat, so I thought I'd give it a try.

No matter how many locks I had, when I fired the missiles, they just streaked straight ahead, not a single one went near its target.

Re: i have lock on him??? say what!!!

as previously posted you dont necessarily need a lock just fire where the nose is pointed as for the post above about locks but missile just streaking past it happens usually if the pilot lifts out of a dive/bombing run too early (for you)

Even with a lock, generally one still needs to guide the rocket. Unlike with the chopper, though, no frantic mouse clicking is required; one just needs to keep the target in the crosshairs, i.e., in the center of the screen.
