Enemy Padlock Bug?

(Unless it defaults to 'friendly' if the enemy are visible but out of 'Padlock Range'?)

I did a search, checked the manual but no answers - sorry for all the newbie questions.

That's because F4 isn't padlock enemy as you think.

If the server allows Padlock then F4 becomes active placing a triangle around the target depending on server icons setting this also will be affected.

If padlock is off but external views allowed then:

F6 is padlock enemy air targets.
F7 is padlock enemy ground targets
