TOW missile on tank bugged?

@CantGetRight Isn't the TOW missile manually guided? Because if so then flares shouldn't affect it as you should be able to continue guiding it yourself.

Sounds like it's related to whatever issue causes AA rockets to just zip off in a random direction right before hitting an aircraft, even with a solid lock and the aircraft having its flares on cooldown. I've kinda given up with AA because whenever I played 8/10 of my missiles that had solid locks while flares were down (I don't mind them blowing flares, it pressures them out of the area at least) just decide "nope" right before hitting and zip off in a random direction for no apparent reason.

@edgecrusherO0 The TOW is guided and even when I was dead on it would go into orbit and just keep circling the heli.

@CantGetRight Wondering if it's something to do with the grapple bug where if it hooks onto a helicopter it stays where it "attached" and will pull Macay into empty space vs. following the aircraft. Game can't make the initial calculation for the hit for whatever reason and just freaks out and tries to adjust, but the turn radius on the missiles is too big to actually hit the target.

Who knows, just another mysterious bug in the hundreds of bugs that continue to plague this game and make it difficult to enjoy : /

@CantGetRight Expecting the game to work as intended may be one of those "brutal expectations". Guess we'll find out if a fix for the AA/TOW rockets is in the notes for the next update...whenever those are ready.

@CantGetRight I’ve seen rockets suddenly spin 2-3 times around a helo then explode. Since the choppies don’t have active countermeasures beyond flares, I don’t understand what causes the action. Happens regularly too. I assume it’s a glitch. Add it to the list eh?
