@Col_LarsenThis should not be affecting stingers. It was an issue that made Air to Air missiles loop around the small helicopters and self-destruct harmlessly.
As about why it was not fixed yet.... your guess is as good as mine
This bug isn't specific to Nightbird. In the inital release notes for the recently added "Below Radar" feature, it is NOT supposed to allow pilots to break lock by dipping below radar altitude. However, this is not how it is behaving and pilots are exploiting it to break lock.
- rainkloud3 years agoSeasoned Ace@DigitalHype Not sure where you are seeing that. The notes say that it doesn't effect missiles that have already launched. Doesn't seem to say anything about not breaking locks.
"Flying below 30 meters from the ground will now ensure that you’re immune to lock-ons from Vehicle-based weaponry.
We are also reducing the height limits for Helicopters. Previously we have seen some instances of pilots flying high and unleashing havoc with very little response as lock-on launchers were unable to reach that high. This tweak helps bring those helicopters down to the ground (literally).
This change does not currently affect Jets, or missiles that are already fired. We will continue to review your feedback in the meantime."- DigitalHype3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@rainkloudGoing below radar (<30m) shouldn't cause a missle which already locked and has been fired before the aircraft was below radar to lose it's target lock. It is only supposed to prevent the enemy from establishing lock.

@DigitalHypeSo I just tested it and it's COMPLETELY BROKEN. It's not supposed to effect Stingers but anything I fired at below 30m the missile just went straight (no tracking) as Task_and_Purpose mentioned. It's not supposed to break the lock of vehicles missiles already fired and it absolutely does. This isn't like 25, 50 or 75% of the time. It was 100% of the time I tested. What absolute garbage this is. How do you not test something like this?
I'll do a video on it. Was it broken in 3.2 as well?
