UAV does not lock on ATGMs

[♡ _GneevS_ ♡]

Reaper UAV does not lock on ATGMs in "Preventive Diplomacy" mission of the Win campaign. I have tried everything: pressing and holding T key, pressing and holding R key, pressing and holding remapped various keys, mouse buttons and flight stick key, lasing targets first and trying to lock on afterwards. Just acquires the target with a square, but without lock on diamond. Nothing works, missiles just fly to nowhere and in the result of this I am experiencing a serious lack in AT weapons against tank attack and cannot finish the mission (have to use the Shift - ENDMISSION). Tried lowering altitude, flying directly above enemy vehicles - still no lock.

There is also another bug in this mission, standard CTRL + L key combo not working to bring up the rocket launcher, it rises the Laser rangefinder/binocular instead.

Close air support is somewhat not very clear - when called upon the specific coordinates, where the enemy vehicles are present helicopter just starts flying around.

I believe in any uav you must first mark the target with your laser designator. You can do this by first selecting the laser designator, hovering the cursor over you target and then pressing ctrl + T to "lock" the laser in place on the target. If the target is a vehicle the designator will automaticly follow the target if it moves. You can then switch to your laser guided bombs then (I dont think any uav has atgm), press T to lock on your lased target. When you fly over the target a "locked" icon will apear inbetween the square and when you let go of the bombs they will automaticly fly towards the lased target.

I have tried doing that in this mission, laser locks normally on target (stays with target), but nothing happens when I switch to ATGM Skalpel - same square stays on without diamond lock symbol.

Mabey your approach issn't right. You are flying it yourself are you? You can give the uav diffrent commands by right clicking in the uav terminal.

Here is a walkthrough of the mission, it might be easier to figure it out for yourself.

No, I set the altitude about 200-250 meters and take the gun turret controls over the target. No luck, it won't let me lock missiles on. I don't know if it happens everywhere, I have encountered many bugs in that particular mission.

In the walthrough the pilots he uav himself and takes manual control of the firing system.
You can also, through the UAV terminal set a path and select his behavior. I have no idea how to do this however because I have only done bombing runs myself.
