Lock on with laser guided weapons?
It seems now that when I try to lock onto anything with a laser missile or GBU it creates the square but the diamond never appears nor do i get the tone confirming I have a lock. This seems to have changed a while ago and i'm not sure what i'm doing now. I've had this issue with the GBU in the wipeout and the Hellfire in the RHS Cobra over different sessions. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: The weapons that also have a heat seeking guidance mode seem to lock fine against hot vehicles, but i'm not sure why they seem to struggle to lock in laser mode. Has it been changed to a lock on after launch system or something?

Theres a certain range of effectiveness for when you can lock onto a target. Im pretty sure its over 4km you cant lock on from. Anything within a 4km radius of the target will be able to lock on
