What happened with the mavericks in the bad weather training mission? BMS 4.35.1
-
After successfully coordinating the heads of mavericks with tgp on the ships they do not aim at the AAA guns on target point, it says on the screen that guidance is in progress and they look directly at the target, and then it continues indefinitely until you are too close and will be shot down, the TMS up button for manual guidance and approve target from the mavericks head screen does not work either, I checked mavericks in another mission with a clear weather and everything works, but in that training mission it sometimes works or does not work at all, it’s a bug or what?

Same here … there was a thread on this, I’ll see if I can find it. Basically the clouds in 4.35.x have been massively buffed.
Even the slightest wisp, that you can easily see through, will break IR lock. Happens to sidewinders too. Even padlock-view breaks contact at the slightest wisp of cloud near line of sight

oh this is sad, so we need to wait for the fix, otherwise in bad weather it is almost impossible to carry out missions normally

This particular TR is now “legendary difficulty” level.
I’ve had the thought (but haven’t tried) using area-lock with the AGM-65G’s. I think (?) that mode is not as affected by the clouds. (In the game’s current state, I mean… I suppose real life might be the opposite.)

The most interesting thing is that TGP captures targets through these clouds and the Mavericks does not see them point-blank, although they looks directly at the target)
-
Hmm maybe any changes in the cloud settings like “Clouds Density and Number Of Cells” can improve the situation? I currently use a standard model

Hello, Arostar. I’ll attempt to throw in my two pennies. Without a video, of course this is pure speculation Once the carat has moved into the Mav’s DLZ, have you tried to command Area Track (TMS-Right), then Point Track (TMS-UP) again? From just the image on the TGP, I notice the “T” above the station. This is common when Point Tracking outside the DLZ for the Mav. Concerning the bad weather, Mavs can be finicky creatures. Reading Vipers in the Storm, and watching subsequent videos, the author at times had hell getting a good lock with them. Especially in fog, haze, and smoke. They aren’t a magic weapon that can see through that stuff. So asking for a fix may not be appropriate, and what we have may be close to reality. In conclusion. If my weather report showed such a forecast at my target area, I would not be looking at the 65s to save the day. Good luck, 65s are fun to employ (in the right circumstance).

Hello Quasi_Stellar. I have tried all the options already, including with recapture through TMS right and pressing TMS up again). As you can see in the screenshot, I also tried to lock onto the target even in small corridor where is no cloud, there is one such small space, I just cannot understand why the rocket does not see the target even in such a narrow cloudless location if the problem is really in the clouds? Well, that is the mission purposes, the maverick was set and the conditions were set, but even when you do everything right, the rocket does not work properly and you can’t lock the target
-
What is your angle (off bore-sight)?
-
What is your angle (off bore-sight)?
the angle is straight, there were no errors during boresighting and after that, I checked with multiple replays of the mission, I also checked the capture on other objects such as buildings and they are captured normally and also checked the lock on the ships and there is normal capture too
-
From the screenshot you are very close to the target and handoff still going on and your cross is slightly outside the keyhole, was the cross blinking or steady?

It’s steady. Because I already flew too close while waiting for a capture from a distance of about 6 miles and then when it’s too late freeze the time and take a screenshot. I was lock up the ships by mavericks in the more sharp angles, the reason is definitely not in this
-
I recorded and uploaded a video to YouTube for clarity of the problem how it’s happen
-
Thank you fo the vid… I will watch it.
That said, to me, I always considered the employment of AGM-65 in such conditions to be a kind of heresy considering that it’s seeker is optical (and IR for the B D E versions … IR effeciency in cloud or fog or mist is bad.)
-
Well, if in reality the Mavericks works like that, then I have no complaints. But then I don’t understand why this training mission is needed at all if this weapon does not work/works bad in such conditions)
-
I just watched your video and the handoff does not seem to want to work, even though you have a good LOS and good visibility.
Did you try using the FCR instead of the TGP to get a ground lock and then slew the Mav onto a target from the WPN page? If you could get a lock in that setting, it could indicate that the MAV sensors are able to pick up a target through the mist, but that when used together with the TGP there are issues.

This also does not work, the heads of the Mavericks do not see the target, they can see the ships on route while boresighting or just lock up but not the Shilkas at the target point, by the way, the near BMPs in the column are not lock up either

The “B” also was TV in visible light just as the “A” just got magnification feature. The “D” is the IR variant.
