So, I'm probably going to smack myself when I find out, but I've been trying to figure out this word for a long time. It's from the German version of the Mechwarrior 2 intro. You can find the video here. Anyway, what does the damaged Timber Wolf pilot (AKA Bravo Cadet) say right before his mech is destroyed? In the English version he says, "It's got a lock on me! It's got a lock on me!" In the German version all I can make out is "Er hat mich....(mystery word)."


I can understand the rest of the dialogue, but I haven't been able to figure out this one word. I've tried to look up words for "locked on" and "targeted" and stuff like that, but I couldn't find anything that meant the same thing, or sounded like what the mech pilot was saying.

Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Meaning: "He's got a lock on me!"

In this context "erfasst" means "acquired" as in "target acquired" or in german: "Ziel erfasst".
A more technical expression, more akin to having a "lock on target" would be "Ziel aufgeschaltet" but this would only be used if we are talking about some electronical targeting device for something like guided missiles, whereas "Ziel erfasst" is used when you simply have the enemy under your gun sights with a non-homing weapon.
