Homing Launcher Question

[Chunkey_Monkey]

Please can someone give me a detailed run thru how this works as its just taken me 45 missiles to down 2 hydras and was killed myself 10 times I kept getting a full red square so fired but as soon as i fired the red square was disabled

 

How does this work ?

 

I understand its been buffed but it is no different to me since i started the game, just crap and useless

 

Any advice please as to what i may be doing wrong

Its been buffed? I didn't hear about that.

 

Homing launcher's not very good against jets anyway. It never has been. Explosive sniper is a much better counter.

They are useless against hydras unless from oppressor or ruiner.

Lots of changes to the Homing Launcher.

 

Reload is 20% faster and there's a bunch of other things changed or added, including certain flags which may affect aiming. I'll need to look into things more.

[Chunkey_Monkey]

Its still bloody useless in my hands

Some players can evade Homing Missiles. It's rockets has some weird turning radius.

Not players it Hydras in new missions for smuggling

I thought my answer was in English ? I replied to Sanchez's post telling him it was Hydras in a smugglers mission not Players

Gaffa get your sh*t together, you're all over the place. Stop getting high and concentrate...

 

So anyway, I looked at the update.rpf from Gunrunning (1.40) and specifically dlc_patch\mpchristmas2\common\data\ai and the 'weaponhominglauncher.meta' file, and compared that with the one from today's update (the 1.41 update.rpf file and the same dlc patch location) and there wasn't any change.

It's probably something else controlling how it's functioning now, or perhaps how aircraft respond to it - but I have to admit I was wrong - as I was comparing it with the initial release of the Homing Launcher. Or maybe I'm just a noob and looking in the wrong place.

 

@GTP_Monkey fair enough but honestly, I couldn't tell that's what you were saying, by what you had said. (Or typed, whatever).

Whats so hard to understand ? I had 2 hydras left to take out and it took 45 homing missiles to do it. It was in a smuggling mission not against any other players. A guy on here called I think "Pedinhuh" stated the homing launcher had been buffed, I still dont see any difference in how it behaves or works to when I first used it pre smugglers. Now what is confusing about that
