Can't you guide the Hellfire anymore?

Punkbuster · 2010-12-08, 20:23

Hey guys,
I was just gunning in a Cobra on Muttrah City in a COOP server, And when I was shooting the Laser Guided Hellfires, I couldn't guide them, They would just go straight to were I shot them, So I was wondering is it only in COOP or is it like this now?
I haven't gunned in 0.95 yet so IDK.

You can still guide them, just click on a different location and the missile will change it's path in flight (you can keep updating the location). This way you can quickly guide a missile to a target even if your firing platform isn't very stable, and if the target is mobile you can still update the path accordingly by clicking on the target's new location.

It works like the vanilla TV Missiles, but you don't see from the front of the missile.
Click to fire, click elsewhere and the missile will redirect to that.

Thank you guys!
I see now!
This is even better than it was before!

Its better indeed! This means that if the target is stationary you just have to click on the target, and the pilot may break out and away from the hot-zone.

Can you hold down the mouse button for auto-new target?

saXoni · 2010-12-10, 11:26

no, you have to wait until the missile has splashed, unless the target is stationary, and the missile is on its way to the target. if it is, you can quickly switch between LG and LT, then to LG again, to fire a new missile. But I don't recommend this, as it might get bugged, and your first missile wont hit the target.

If you have a laser, you can fire off as many LTs as you want to, and they will all hit the lase, unless the lase disappears while missiles are inbound.

I hope that answers your question.

Yeah I was confused at first too, but its in the changelog and I overlooked it.

Click, it locks onto the ground wherever you clicked last, not moving. So you can't click on a tank and the missile will hit the tank if it moves.. You can update the trajectory if you click again.
