When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 2021-12-15
Summarize your bug Using specialist Rao's hacking device works poorly to begin with, whenever combined with AA missile however it takes a very long time before the AA lock even works after hacking and trying to fire AA. Not sure if this is some poorly thought through global cooldown or if it's in fact a bug
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Step 1. Hack enemy vehicle Step 2. Immediatly swap to AA-missile and try to initiate the lock-on for AA missile on said vehicle Step 3. Wait like five seconds before the AA-missile actually understands that it's a vehicle you're aiming at Step 4. Watch the airplane/helicopter launch flares since the hack has expired Step 5. Get killed by said vehicle because they know where you are since the hack points them in your direction Step 6. ☹️
What happens when the bug occurs? Rao's only proper function doesn't work (being an anti vehicle character)
What should be happening instead? AA rocket should be able to hit the target before they have time to launch flares ‌

  • Yep, having the same issue playing today (but not previously). I used to be able to hack a helicopter, then switch to AA and lock on, and the heli wouldn't be able to fire flares. Now, I do the same, and the heli always fires flares. The hack is successful, as the heli stops shooting, but it seems it can still use flares while hacked?? Maybe they nerfed Rao's hack so that it no longer affects countermeasures? If so, that's a terrible decision.

    Rao is a mess and there is so much potential with his hacks. The hack/AA and hack/M5 or C5 on Armor should be his thing. It should work similarly to Casper's recon drone disrupt.
