Laser tracking on the Rocket Launcher?

[FUSHIGI BONG RIPS 1998]

Is it just me, or is it now absurdly difficult to steer your rocket? In the helicopter fight in ST, most rockets will either zap to a random direction or move only slightly, even though I'm aiming at the chopper (with the laser guiding on, of course). At a certain point I just gave up and started using the Tau.

Just a minor gripe. Loving the hell out of the game, though. It was about time to play through BM again, and I finally get to throw money at the devs. Great work dudes. I should also point out the assassins kill you ridiculously quick in hard. Wouldn't mind if they did less damage or their range was reduced.

Edit: Just now I shot one laser guided rocket at an Osprey, and it just bounced right off. Something's super broken about the way the rockets work, no doubt about it.

I used the gauss/tau to take down the chopper, rockets just wouldnt hack it C:

The 2nd point is normal, if I remember correctly.

PRoblem is people are to dumb to realize it's been that way since 1998

Non sequitur.

Black Mesa devs have corrected multitude of things that were wrong with Half-Life, so this kind of argument doesn't really work.

If they could fix the "Nonsensical conveyor belt of doom", why couldn't they fix the "Nonsensical one airborne rocket per planet limit"? ;-)

[Patchy?]

Yeah, I just got to this part and those rockets just have no brains. The first two or three hits I can do without tracking, but then the chopper starts ducking and weaving and I don't feel like save scumming so I'll just Gauss the rest of the paint off the damned thing particle by particle.

3 years later it's still broken. What the actual ♥♥♥♥

The best thing about rockets is how they do a 180 degree turn and kill you instead. Best multiplayer of the year.

How can you screw this so much, it’s supposed to be a boss fight...

Yeah I saw this in MP the other day. Fired a rocket at close range and it just disappeared.

There's some kind of strange bug with the tracking of the Apache in particular. It behaves fine mostly elsewhere. We're looking at it.

Is this issue fixed, guys?

No. I hope they intend to fix it with the addition of Xen, but I really doubt it.

I'm having the same problems right now. Can barely fight the helicopter with rockets because the laser tracking on the rockets is terrible. Sometimes it turns too slowly to get to where I'm aiming, other times it turns partially but not completely, or sometimes not even at all. One time after it nearly left the skybox it flew right back towards me.

The helicopter has laser jamming countermeasures and the rocket has a limited turning radius.

Xen added, still can't kill the choppa with rockets.

I have the same issue

Wow, just google this cause I jut bought the game (which is FAN-TASTIC btw!) and I'm stuck at the chopper because of these useless rockets :-/

[magazine permafrost]

use the tau guys...

[jeevacation]

I have the same issue, love how it the Apache can literally be standing still and I fire a rocket with laser guidance and it literally curves back around and kills me instead :)
