Rao Hack working as intended?
Hello together, I keep it short. I use Rao to get my T1 achievement for the FXM-33. Normally my routine would be, hack the helicopter, aim at helicopter, shoot the missile and hope to get the kill....

@Captain_TachiIt is common practice among more experienced pilots to pop flares at the possibly last second of the hack to get as much lock-on immunity as possible during flares.
To you on the ground it looks like he is popping flares after the hack but this is just the * netcode in this game that’s causing visual desync.
We are talking here about 1-2 seconds after hack, if anything more desynced it seems to be a new bug that pilots are abusing and should be fixed asap.
oh and btw: don’t get yourself fooled about hacking on transport vehicles, sometimes you hack the passenger inside instead of the actuall vehicle, it’s happens more on the Condor, less on the Hind.
@Bolvard thank you for the information. I know, that this could happen, but I assure you, what I have experienced is something different. If he has used the flares in the last second, I would not be able to lock on the helicopter right after the hack. But this was possible, so he has not used the flares, while hacking.
Please don't get me wrong, I appreciate the help, but I am doing this with Road for some time now, but in all my 368 kills (and countless hits) with the FXA-33, this has happened before this weekend. It was not a display error, on my screen was the sucessfull hacking message and there was no delay between hacking and locking/shooting.
I have paused since season 2, so I thought maybe there was something in the patch notes. But if this is not the case, I would consider a bug on someone's end.
Ok just for this... I worked through the process to record something (thanks to NVIDIA Experience it is surprisingly easy), to Cut the Video and to upload it on youtube... and finaly, here it is. The proof, that I am not dumb 🙂

@Bolvard Please explain this. It was a little bird these times. Yes, the hack was successful (Gegner gestört = enemy hacked), I instantly locked with the FXM-33 and shot the missile and the little bird used his flares. And I haven't hacked the pilot or other guys in the helicopter, because then, the hack would go faster. DICE, please fix this. Thank you.

First could be that they are to far out of range and hack is over when the rocket is on their ways.
Second one looks like bug could be desync also them pushing flares as soon as they notice hacking happening.
Sent it on to the team. @Captain_Tachi
