Thanks for all your responses. However, I am aware of GBUs radius deviation and problem of making SPI and markpoints. What I ment is that I doing it for a long time just by the same way (without lasing the target in case of JDAMs) and it worked perfectly. But since last updates the jdams seems to me more inaccurate (more realistic but more inaccurate compared to the previous state). So I am just asking if somebody noticed this difference too (within the game - I am not talking about real life scenarios right now). THX

Hi Guys, i didnt play this game for a while but since last updates it seems to me that accuracy of jdams is worse. Util than i was able to directly hit tanks almost always. But now in most cases the jdam hit ground just few meters from target (like 2-6m). I just wonder if it is intencional update of behavior of jadams or if it is some kind of bug. Thx for answers (sorry for my english)

1. I have not tried it yet. 2. I have noticed a few interesting things (tested on test track under same conditions). a) MANPADS always attacked me at the same time regardless of whether I drop flares or not (I tried multiple program setting, dive angles, altitudes ect. I even tried simple flyby over MANPADS). So I believe that this strategy can be used only in real life but it is useless in DCS. b) I believe that this is caused by my lack of skill but I was not able to shook off the missile even once after MANPADS fired at me. I tried everything, different manuevers, different flare programs but without any success. No matter how many flares I dropped :-D c) Strafing from high altitudes was fine againts unarmored targets (trucks), but useless againts IFVs or tanks. I believe it can be caused by my lamenes (lack of accuracy) :-D

1. Little bit complicated but I will try it sometime. 2. I will definitely try it. THX

Hi guys, I have two questions: 1 - Is there any posibility to find exact position of SAM site by using only onboard instruments without help from any other unit or cheating? If I am right than you know only type of threat and direction from your position. But It is obvious that AI pilots know exact location. 2 - How to avoid MANPADS? I know that the best option is to perform attack from high altitude, but this is not always the option. Sometimes you have to perform gun run without knowing if there is any MANPADS. But when I am in the middle of the dive I dont have enought time to perform any maneuvers to avoid missile. I manage to drop only few flares and I am hit by then. What is the strategy in this situation? Sorry for my english

Thanks for clarification.

Hi, I have two questions. 1. Who decides on the aircraft armament before real mission starts? Is it pilot, ground support staff or somebody else? 2. How often are used guided bombs compared to their unguided variants during the real combat missions? Because on the most videos from the battle zones I see only GBUs. What is the ratio? THX

Same problem here. (I have DCS World)

Pretty videos showing explosion above ground (GBU-39). Fragmentation can be seen as well. It would be nice to have them both in DCS World - proper fuzing and GBU-39.

THX for your kind words. :-)

UTM co-ordinates = red triangle = target; Red triangle signalize that you are recieved target coordinates through the data link. JTAC unit can send to you coordinates through data link only in case that is equiped by EPLRS. If JTAC unit is for example soldier, he has not EPLRS so he can tell you only UTM coordinates. Simply he is not equiped by device which enables to him to send to you coordinates directly. So UTM coordinates are more "universal" because you dont have to rely on datalink.

First post updated - voice over version repaired - no more crashes - crashes were caused by conflict between build in AFAC communication and "sound to" function ;-)

I will try fix the voice over version. Yoi were pretty close to the end if you mean armored colums after destroying enemy HQ. There are actualy 3 columns and after destroying 3rd one you are cleared to RTB
