Sport Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Been trying out CA a little bit and wanted to play around with human controlled MANPADS. For some reason I'm not getting any lock tone or indication while using the Stinger or Igla. Should I be? If so, how do I activate the weapon system. I am able to shoot and the missile tracks, but no lock indication or tone Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

3WA Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Unfortunately, this ain't ARMA. Hoping DCS heads in that direction in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBillKelsoe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 IIRC there was a yellow dot at the bottom center of the sight which turned green with a valid lock (thermal signature). I haven't booted up CA in a while. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't booted up CA in a while. For some reason, I can't get a yellow dot or lock at the bottom, do I need to turn the weapon system on, or is it buggy in the current build?

Paganus Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I think it has changed. They removed the dot/lock indicator. Hold the target in the sight until you get the tone. The seeker see's it but it's not locked yet. Wait until the tone pitch changes, now it's locked and can fire. It appears aircraft aspect is now a factor when determining if the seeker sees the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can see, though, there's no lock indication, but the missile guides just fine: Come check me out on YouTube! Twitch!

3WA Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Igla is probably pretty much the same. And of course, we have the scene from Firebirds. :p Edited January 11, 2019 by 3WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
