First harpoon fired does not use R/BL

[SneakyBastd]

I locked a ship on radar and set all my harpoon to R/BL, skim, low.

I then went A-A mode to check for migs, etc.

I went back to A-G mode, locked a surface ship, and fired a harpoon (still showing R/BL mode). It flew due north, nowhere near my locked ship.

Then I fired another harpoon - it DID track the ship.

 

Every time you lock a surface ship, the default harpoon station currently selected will NOT be in R/BL mode, even if it shows that on the MFD. If you launch it, it will go north.

 

If you step stations, or reset R/BL, it works.

 

This seems like a bug to me. Happens online and offline.

I tried to attack two ships in a co-op mission, firing 2 harpoons at each ship. I wasted the first shot of each salvo because of this glitch.

Hi. Can you please attach a track showing this issue?

 

You can save a track when exiting the mission (button "Save track").
