Hi!

The aircrafts warning system gives already a signal, when the handheld-stinger weapon is just pointed at the aircraft, not aimed/zoomedin/activated.

Plot: I wanted to wait until a helicopter is closer to me with the stinger. Didn't "rightclick" with stinger yet, but he, without seeing me, popped flares and went off. Happened a 2nd time aswell.
Perhaps connected with the former bug "hipfire stinger"?

Yep, you still get a lock on (and the pilot gets a warning) when the AA launcher is not sighted in with RMB.

This has to main implications: 1) You can walk around with the stinger/strela out and will get the first tone if there is an aircraft nearby. 2) If you don't want the pilot to know anything, you have to turn away from the aircraft of put an object between you and the aircraft until you're ready to fire.

I'm not sure if there is a fix for this, the devs have probably done what they can?

Cheers, Murkey.

Ye there isn't anything we can do about this unfortunately. The trick is to just aim at the ground while your waiting for him to get closer. This way he wont be in the "Lock FOV" of the weapon but you can still keep an eye on him in the top of your screen
