The bridges in Yama are another prime example, while targeting a red on the bridge another one runs by underneath and suddenly I'm looking at my bot's toes for some reason. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need to have targets locked when using weapons with splash damage? Otherwise they wouldn't know how far out to explode.

Welp, I've convinced myself after five or six matches that running without target lock isn't a viable option. Especially on the moon.
Shiznit needs to be fixed/tweaked asap.

Seems to with stalkers in stealth mode...

Bet you're all wishing Targeting was LOS now, aren't ya? .. I've been wishing that the whole time! The auto selection, whether locking or not, consistently chooses the wrong bot. I'm just mashing on the lock button trying to pick the bot right in front of me when the reds blow me up. Like when that Griffin suddenly lands right in front of you and you can't choose it as a target before it kills you, even if it can't do it quick...you just can't seem to select it, y'know, because there's a Natasha waaaaaay off to the left 900m away behind some cover and you've got Orks but the targeting system is just in firetrucking love with that damn Natasha. ? I don't see why Pixo is so allergic to LOS. LOL Happens frequently with me too when I use "Auto-Lock. I Disabled it but the same issue occurs regardless of Auto-Lock being Enabled/Disabled. My favourite is walking under a bridge and shooting straight up while being smashed in the face by a Player standing 30m in front of me lol

What's the difference? without target lock on, you can't lock on the target. It's under the menu settings in the hanger, along with music and sound (effects)...

I use a gamepad on iOS and it works pretty well - it's like an Xbox pad. The weapons are mapped seperatedly which is great for firing without unloading everything.
Sadly target lock doesn't map to the pad so I rely on the standard targeting system.
A big improvement (in my opinion) would be that the target lock cycles through the closest red first then continues to the furthest red in the field of view. Might be a simple fix but much better than the crosshairs going all over the place - might even be able to aim my tarans for a change.

It only seems to have a slight speed increase going from No-lock to Hard-lock. But maintains Lock .. sort of. Lately, it's been Buggy. The constant cycling through Enemy's gets cumbersome and reduces battle efficiency, in my opinion.

I use manual target lock on everything I shoot at. I've had too many bad experiences with the auto lock switching at the worst times.
It took me a couple months of playing before I found out there was such a thing as manual lock. It is one of the many great things I learned on this forum ?
