Javelin Hit Failure

[james1995r]

Map: Aliabad
Mission: Combat Patrol
Issue: Javelin launched at a BTR. Using thermals lock on and fired, using both top down and directional fire. Reticles on target center mass. All 3 rockets failed to hit unknown reason. May need to be looked into.

That's most likely RHS

I did a quick test with the javelin.
When I picked up a rocket from arsenal, the launcher didn't start target locking, at all.
When I dropped the launcher and picked it up again, it locked fine.
Didn't matter if I had the next rocket on my backpack or on the ground.
I missed once, but I lifted my finger from the targeting button bit too soon.

Maybe the BTR was too close? I'm not sure what the minimum engagement distance is on a Javelin (or even if there is one...).

Yea there is. In real life those are 150m for top and 65m for direct attack. I suppose they are somewhat similar to that in game. I could test that actually

Hmm... this particular engagement was at least 300m, I think closer to 450m from memory.

Rechecked javelin missiles could have been an issue with BTR anti missile defence

I don't believe BTR's have an ant-missile system.
