hey guys

anyone else getting this problem, were you can't shoot your missles?

using the F22 in a couple matches today, and it would not allow me to launch my missles to most planes NEAR me, or even if they were fireing at me...

anyone else?

make shure they are armed and you are not upside down.

ps. why are you trying to shoot down more unarmed planes on the runway? ;)

LOL, dude that was pathetic watching you trying to kill your self!

you should of stayed, 1 more min and we had the base done.. :D


and no i wasn't upside down. I was able to launch troughout the hole game, but then suddently as it was my team and the hosts team, he was able and verry well did UNLEASH a full paypload of 10missiles on me, and i couldn't shoot more then 1...it seemed verry verry odd...

ohhhh i know what your talking about now.. i think there is a limit to the amount of missiles/bombs you can fire at one time i think its about 12 or 14 but after that you have to wait till the rest hit and then you can fire again

How close were you to the target?  Some missiles won't fire within a certain range.  If you're right on some guy's tail, even an IR AAM like an AIM-9 won't fire (you'll get a big X on your screen when you're too close to shoot a missile).  This is part of the reason I like an extra pair of AIM-9Xs on the F-22A.  For one, they're much more apt to hit a stealth target than a radar guided missile, and you also have an extra pair of close-in missiles to work with in a dogfight.

Not sure if it's different for missiles, but the limit is 10 for bombs.

hey guys, its nothing to do with a limit....

i had the f22, with 10 120c's....

I had someone locked at 15miles out, at 10 to 5miles out i shot one, and was unable to launche any others
was unable to launche the short range OR my bombs, nothing would go...

Yeah, I've had that happen 2-3 times in Multiplayer.  I think the game gets out of sync.

My controller asked me to tell you that it is an inanimate object, and, as such, does not possess emotions or feelings.

I have found that most people that have this problem are the ones that fire 8 missles at a time (spamming or cheesing if you will) it's the games way of saying you suck.  Never shoot more than 4 and you'll not have this problem, like me.

Ah that sucks, cuz a real pro only shoots 1....2 if needed ;)
i don't shoot 8 or 10 or whatever unless the one comming at me does it. i like to save up on em....

but anyways, i find glitches are happening alot lately...i hope they fix it soon.

ahh!!!  I've noticed that if you are in the red (power meter) your ability to fire missles are limited so this maybe a cause of the problem as well as over using them.  The 1 or 2 would be a good thing but like most people I can evade 1 or 2 no problem, you set up your target by shooting a few for the kill shot, a sidewinder.

Last night I was bombing a tower.  I dropped 4 2000lbs then I was unloading with 250lbs.  However, it only let me drop 10 out of 12 bombs...

Yep, Raven, 10 is the most you can drop.  It's tracking time to impact for each one.

Just a thought, but I had fired off a few at an incoming plane and was unable to fire any more missles.  I heard my wingman say bravo before the missle ever struck the plane.  I think that if your missles are going to hit the target, the cpu does not let you keep fireing.  Sure enough, I just kept flying at my target and it exploded. Suddenly I was able to fire on a new target.  Just a thought.

That can't be it, I've fired a missile, waited a few seconds, and then fired another one so they were like 5 seconds apart.  The first one blew up the target, I got a -LOSE- for the second one.

I know for me sometimes I cant drop bombs or fire missles when I have a glitched game and Im tryn to get rid of the glitched symbol tower.

it was wierd today i was flying a F-15E with 6 agm's and 5 2000lb bombs. I tried to shoot all 6 of my agm's but only five launched and the last one wouldnt go. then before thay all hit I was able 2 switch to the bombs and shoot all of those. And by the way everyone who thinks only ten things can be shot at a time I can normally shoot all 6 of my agm's and all 5 of my bombs with no prob.

Bombs and missiles are tracked separately.  I believe you can drop up to 10 bombs and shoot up to 10 missiles, but you wouldn't be able to drop another bomb or shoot another missile, until one of the others hit.

I'd ask if you had launched 5 air-to-air before you tried to launch the 6 air-to-ground missiles.

(I personally know of the 10-bomb limit, but don't believe I've ever bumped heads against the 10-missile limit.  Perhaps someone can confirm that the missile limit is 10 also.)

There's no need for anyone to be firing 10 missiles, unless you're playing by yourself against 4.

I don't know about that, in online arena mode I can take off and head at full burner in the direction of white base where all the computer pilots are fighting and lock up a whole mess of them.

no i didnt

This seems to be a bug in the game. It happened to me last night. The whole time I could only fly around. I could use my gun but no missiles/bombs could be launched. But I stayed in the game so that my team mate would not feel abondoned. I was shot down a hundred times. It was frustrating to say the least.

Ah! thanks, i don't feel alone!
it hasn't happened to me again yet, however after that happened, the next 5 online games i played all had a glitch of some sort, man it was a pain...

i hope there is an update for this game soon.
