Hey... just wondering if anyone knows why this is happening...

I lock on a target (r button) ...then I get an LRM missle lock and its RED like it is locked....

I fire LRMs but the first volley more often than not goes down in the ground about 100 meters or less in front of me .....then after that first volley of LRMs... LRMs fire normaly .......but

every time i newly lock a target its the same thing first volley is iffy if it will hit the ground or go towards target.


I dont remeber this happening a few patches ago....what gives.


thx in adavance

I've seen it off and on... It MIGHT be the game server hasn't registered the lock you see!?

Nah. Current thinking in recent threads is that the UI display had been updated but the underlying mechanics have not. So the UI is too quick to tell you that you have a lock.

So the Opposite of what I was thinking?


You guys been talking to my Wife?

It's been happening since the test servers first went up to allow us to play with Clan mechs.

there's a beep to tell you when the server says you'r actually locked if you listen carefully - i never hear it myself so i shoot 25% of all my missiles into the ground lol

[Petard]

There is actually a DOUBLE beep, wait for the second one before firing, and you should be locked, sometimes seems to take longer for the second beep, for reasons I am uncertain of....

I've had it happen after the reticle turns red for lock heard the ping, and it still hits ground for 2-3 salvos. THEN suddenly it works. It's a glitch they haven't gotten to yet.

This started happening right after clan patch so it must be related.
