Auto-lock Engage & Dis-engage problem.

[Death Jester001]

High-light an enemy tank for first time, left click I get the message of "target dis-disengaged" then everytime I try again it will NOT auto lock and dis-engages every time.  I spend more time in the crucial parts of the battle trying to get the auto lock to work and more times than not it end up dying because i am fighting with the auto-lock to lock onto the target in stead of being able to lock-onto the target and concentrate on tactical maneuvers.  I do not have any of the (Help AIMING MODS) installed. This Does NOT happen every time.. it seems to only happen when I need the AUTO lock the most. 

 

The replay I added the Auto lock worked on only the first tank (The PZ III E ) 

 

The T-40 I did not disengage the auto lock it released on it's own.

 

The Toldi III and T 40 Both I was trying to auto lock and as you can see it does not allow me to auto lock!

I've had this happen as well.  It always happens when the situation is very hectic and I am switching targets quickly.  However, I believe that I am really at fault here.  I think that the audio report (e.g, target acquired) is just too slow to keep pace with what is actually occurring.  So I click the button to lock, hear nothing, and assume that my reticle was not in place, so I click again and hear the unlock message......

 

I'd like to see WG add an option to select tones to indicate the status of auto-lock instead of the lengthy messages, and the system could be more responsive.

I am making more videos of it... It is continuing. in many other situations other than intense parts of battle. No pattern of types of tanks, seems connected perhaps to region of origin of player?
