Probed rather than assumed: hold each pad input and photograph the HUD ammo counters. RB = nose gun (NOSE BM 6000->5956 in 4 s, ~11 rounds/s, HEAT rises), Y = main mount (MAIN MPM 300->299), d-pad = tactical map overlay, and LB/X/B/A/LS/RS move neither counter. No target-cycle input exists. The green TARGET marker is already up with nothing pressed, so the game selects for us and a guided missile's lock is a time-on-target mechanic, not a button. That closes the lethality question: it is not target choice (escort weighting), not ballistics (now from the confirmed Shell records), and not the mapping — the steering loop simply never holds the nose on one contact long enough to lock. Aim dwell is the next lever. Also records two things the reimplementation needs: two weapons with separate ammo pools and HUD counters, and a HEAT bar that fills while the gun fires (cap and cool-down not yet measured).

# 98 guided missiles produced 2 kills. A guided missile with nothing to guide to

# flies straight, so the suspicion is that the loop has never selected a target
|
|
# at all: the HUD carries a `TARGET` marker and a lock reticle, and no button in
|
|
# pilot.py has ever touched them. fire_probe.sh already showed LB/X/B/A/LS/RS do
|
|
# not discharge a weapon — but "does not fire" says nothing about "does not
|
|
# select", so sweep them again watching the RETICLE instead of the ammo.

# Captures the centre of the screen (reticle + lock brackets) and the right-hand

# target panel, so a selection or a building lock is visible either way.
