Try resetting your controls to the Apex preset and T should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1746 Posted September 3, 2017 The engine needs to be running on the target vehicle. Otherwise, Titan won't lock. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted September 3, 2017 You also need quite a clear view of the vehicle (the smallest leaf can block the lock!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drebin052 324 Posted September 3, 2017 As @Tankbuster said, the Titan cannot lock onto "cold" vehicles as it is an infrared-guided launcher (which is as it should be). If all else fails you can still utilise either SACLOS manual guidance or lock-on via laser designation to hit a "cold" vehicle. 2 hours ago, tyl3r99 said: also i cant change it from direct fire to top fire am i being really stupid or have they disabled the lock feature on this bloody launcher. The Titan has never been able to toggle between top and direct attack in vanilla A3. Only ACE3 allows for switching between modes. 2 hours ago, tyl3r99 said: i also heard PCML is supposed to lock on also but pffff The PCML uses a visual sensor which means that it does not require the vehicle to be "hot" to acquire a lock-on as opposed to the Titan. Keep in mind that it does have many drawbacks as a consequence however. Rain and fog can reduce the acquisition distance, and the small field-of-view of the PCML's FCS means that you need to be pretty much aiming directly at the vehicle to lock-on to it. The other downside is that it is much more shorter ranged and prevents you from locking on to anything at all if you're standing outside of the sensor's maximum range (PCML has 800m max range vs. the Titan AT's 4km max range). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankbuster 1746 Posted September 4, 2017 I was under the impression that it was the sensors update that caused this behaviour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lex__1 422 Posted September 4, 2017 Changes of sensors :) The titan has the laser beam which directs flight of a rocket. The titan has to lock easily any purpose, on the beam of a sight. But with it it isn't finished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1746 Posted September 4, 2017 Can the Titan take advantage of a designator illumination from another player/unit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyl3r99 41 Posted September 4, 2017 thanks guys it was the fact that engine was off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or you can shine by laser from UAV darter, some control rocket flight, changing the position of laser spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haleks 8212 Posted July 15, 2018 Did something break again? I can't get that damned AT specialist to fire at tanks... I have an AT specialist on its own, facing a CSAT tank with its engine on. I had the tank speeding around and shooting at random targets to make sure it's heated up. And yet AT guy stays prone doing absolutely nothing. This is on the VR map with clear view on the target. The PCML launcher works all right, but the AI seem incapable of using any variant of the Titan. This is annoying as hell : most of the AT vehicles have a Titan equipped...
