Missile launchers no targeting lock
Hi all i'm having prouble with target locking of all missile launchers as i deploy those missile launchers that have auto target locking reticasl i get no target square or lockon retical i had been told by a modder it maybe one of the mods i'm using though launchers were working fine before last couple of updates and testing launchers without the mode i still get no lockon target.

I have notice other players having similer launcher issue but can't their posts to moniter their help so any help please or ideas with this issue.

Im not sure if this is the same issue I had but its worth a look.

I dont remember their exact name but in the control/keybindings there are like 4-5 different "target neutral vehicle"
"target hostile vehicle"
"target friendly vehicle"
"target empty vehicle"
etc....

If you are trying to use a lock on weapon and you only have "target hostile vehicle" bound to a key it will NOT lock on to it unless the vehicle first gets confirmed as hostile(how I dont know..), most vehicles show up as neutral/empty first, sometimes they even show up as friendly before switching to hostile and all kinds of weird combinations.

So, simply make sure ALL of the select/target vehicle keybindings are bound to your targeting key so you can use it to target all of them, just make sure you yourself know that you are targeting hostiles!

Thanks Botji will give it a look though i never aultered any keys i never bothered with the said keys as the launchers normanly take a few secons to lock nomatter friend or foe if friendly lock box goes green and red for foe but i don't get any targeting boxs.

Its usually T or RMB to lock on targets, at least for me, and I use pretty much default controls.

I've just tried all key actions to do with launchers nothing no targeting boxs in any all i get is target range from those that give ranges when "T" is pressed and i am aimming at known enemy targets.

i have tried without any mods loaded still no target boxs so it's not a mod but this issue started a couple of updates ago.

I'm having the same problem,when I was in a battle I saw an ai that was under my command pull out his launcher and aim but then switch right back to his main weapon as though he didn't know what button to press either.if you figured it out will you let me know please
