    I haven't had a chance to check this on the released version. I was just messing around in the SVN version and noticed this. BTW, the speedometer is pretty nice.

    Anyways.


    I never noticed it before, but are homing missiles supposed to try and lock on even when they're not loaded as the weapon you're set to fire? i.e. It's group 2 and I currently am firing group 1, but the lock-on system continues to operate and even give a lock.

    Also, will the pin-point accuracy of dumbfired homing missiles ever be changed?

    No idea about the lock on, is it more important than "slightly annoying" ?

    Good idea I'll reduce the dumbfire accuracy of homing stuff.

    I always use it to piss enemy tanks of, to make them think
    I try to spam them with salvo homing even when my heat bar is to full to actually do it :) .

    No, just making sure it's not a bug.

    It makes it interesting that you can be firing with something else and then switch to homing once it's locked on.

    At least it doesn't try to lock while reloading the clip....

    A simple work around would be that they always have spread when fired. However, if they have a lock, that spread will be reduced as they start homing in on their target. W/o lock, they spread out like normal missiles.
