mporlier Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I don't know what I am doing wrong!! First, I know how to operate the KA no problem, but I am missing something. Sometimes in a sortie, all of a sudden my VIKHR will stop locking on the target and drop to the ground about a mile out. My fire parameters are good, target locked, laser on, reticle centered. When this happens, I am screwed, all remaining VIKHR will drop. If I land and rearm it seems to do the same. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonerCat Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 If you don't wait between your shots until the timer on the left of your HUD times out multiple times, especially if you're doing multiple sorties, there's a good chance the laser will eventually burn out, and won't work properly You gotta take it easy, and wait a few seconds between launches, until that timer on the left reaches 0, and you get full launch auth You can launch in rapid succession, which is useful when you're under attack, and taking out whatever is shooting at you, but when attacking and not under pressure, don't overdo it 2 Modules: F-14, F-15C, F-16C, F/A-18C, M-2000C, A-10C, A-10C II, AV-8B N/A, MiG-29, Su-33, MiG-21 Bis, F-5E, P-51D, Ka-50, Mi-8, Sa 342, UH-1H, Combined Arms Maps and others: Persian Gulf, Syria, Normandy, WWII Assets, NS 430 + Mi-8 NS 430 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChancellor Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Also note that vikhrs fired in A/A mode heat up the laser way faster than normal ones. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
