How to use Skyfire?

[AB_Attack]

Playing the gunship showcase and can't fire hte Skyfire. Pressing T now and then and once I got a lock on a boat lying still with the missiles that are possible to fire but otherwise nothing. It seems so random. Does anyone know the mechanics?

No offense but if you could phrase your sentence correctly that would be kind of you because the only things I got outta that is gunship, skyfr and some kind of problem with the lockon....? I guess... could you specify

Skyfire is unguided. It works like the rockets on the pawnee.The locks you got are those from your AI gunner showing up for you.
Also use R not T for locking.

Thanks for a great reply to an out of frustration shoddily formulated question.

So I pushed the wrong button then (targeting). Will my gunner fire on targets that I lock with R or do I fire the Skyfire rockets once locked? AI does shoot by himself with the cannon.
Further ahead in that mission (artillery targets) I think the enemy uses some kind of disruption equipment because my targeting panel disappears and the rockets turn away from the target as if there was a reversed magnetic field around the target. the only way to hit it is to get in really close and fire. I have no clue how to track down the equipment that causes this.
How does the panel come back? By flying out of the area or is it a bug?
