No lock tone

[RedOctober]

Half the time (in sim at least) there's no lock tone for missile aircraft, which leads to quite a lot of problems. Is there a fix for this?

If you mean lock tone for thermal guided missiles there is none it was removed cause it doesn’t exist they made it so you have to pay attention to your behind.

The missiles arent radar guided

That's not true.

AIM-9 missiles do have a lock tone, it was the only way a pilot would know he had one locked on target without more modern targeting computers.

However, I think you're thinking of the missile warning which isn't something older jets would have, though modern jets do have missile approach warning systems that can detect all types of missiles, alerting the pilot to their presence (pretty much what the old warning was)

I have reported it on the official forums and it is a known issue im hoping it gets fixed soon because it bothers me greatly

The tone seems to work only 50% of the time, this isnt the first time they broke it, and last time it took them several months to fix.

Compare that to the new missile sounds, which overpower everything and you can hear them being fired 3km behind you, which doesn't even make sense.

And yeah I am talking about the lock tone, not the missile alert tone.
