AA Vehicle lock up not working properly

Apologises all if this question has been asked before but I could not see it listed.

I'm playing BF4 on the PS4 and have recently discovered whenever I jump into an AA vehicle that the lock up is not working.  Or let me re-phrase.  If I track an enemy aircraft there is no sound or visual indicating I have locked up.  However I have discovered if i guess correctly without any sound/visual and assume that I should have locked up and fire the missiles that they indeed track there intended objects. 

The other problem is because I have not locked up in the normal format it also appears that my enemy is not aware.  I have fired at least 30 plus missiles and nearly everyone has been a hit except may be 2-3.  I am assuming as I have not locked up in the normal process that my enemy is also unaware they have been locked up.  (That or i'm playing against some poor other gamers.)

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Thanks for your feedback, I will pass it on to the studio. Have you already tried to re-install your game to check if the missing sound and lockup issues are related to some corrupt game data?

     

    Cheers

    Exact same here. No lock tone, no lock HUD. I don't remember when I first noticed this, but it has been several months without any change.  I am pretty sure I first noticed it after an update prior to the winter holidays, but I had a few months traveling and I'm not positive. It is annoying, and would like a fix.  I havnt noticed whether or not the lock is being registered by my target, but I don't use the AA that much anymore because of the issues. Hope it gets fixed, I miss pissing off those jets, they're worse than bad snipers.

    I noticed the original post is from 2014?  This is a recent issue with my game. Late 2015. Has this been reported anywhere else?

    could be that first few mins where there is no sound.  sometimes the game goes wacky and ill lose sound half the match too.  Make sure you got the lock on missiles active and not the self targeting ones.  Could also be they are flying below radar level now

    Guys, that happens to me in my gaming platform, about the sound, there's just no sound for a few seconds when you get in a server and about the lock on, or it could be your gaming is not loading properly or that you corrupted game data.. :D helpful?

    so after thinking have you ran a speed test to make sure your router isnt cause lag.  Only other thing i can think of is OOR players are causing a lag in the sound being transmitted

    Speed is beyond good. Might try a reinstall but that takes so long, I might just ignore the issue for now. Thanx anyway, wouldn't have thought to check speed. Think it's more of a game code issue.

    Have you tried to delete the older updated and just keep the newest one ?  I had issues with lag the other night and removed the older updates and also found a dub 1.5gb file so i removed it also and game been running fine since then
