m1tp2king Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 hi. I know how to create targets with the data link. also wingmen can locate and identify targets, and they show on the ABRIS no problem. But, say I see a target ( e.g. vehicle ) on the ABRIS. is there a way to make the Shkval zoom to the target ? so I can attack it. If it's in the manual can you tell me which page, thanks.

dburne Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Sure just watch the tracking gate of the shkval on the abris map as you move it left and right and move it up and down. Assuming I am understanding the question correctly, a target has already been identified and designated as a target on the Abris map... As far as zoom, you have two different levels - I believe it is x7 and x23 for the tv display.

m1tp2king Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 I know how to move the tracking gate and see it move on the ABRIS manually. but my question is this. is there an automatic way by pressing a button that will zoom the Shkval to the selected target on the ABRIS ? thanks.

ReaperSVK Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 you can't slew your Skhval to the target automatically....no China Hat forward for you in Blackshark :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1tp2king Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 in the game you can send targets to wingmen using the data link, order wingmen to engage those targets. also you can automatic ingress to target. But you cant zoom the skhval automatically to a data linked target shown on the ABRIS ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. However the target is identified and it is displayed on the ABRIS, or at least the known location at the time it was identified. Then just use the shkval to locate the target in the tv display, lock on and fire. Of course the target could have moved since it was identified and stored on the ABIS as well, so may have to look around some. But no, not automatic way to lock onto a spot that was identified where the target was at the time. Cause really that is what it is doing, locking on to that particular spot.

ajax Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Am I missing something? I use the datalink ingress function to automatically slew the skhval to the target all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m1tp2king Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Please tell us how to automatically slew the skhval to the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajax Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) *** Laser must be on *** 1. Reset the targeting system (backspace key). 2. Select target with datalink panel. 3. Press ingress button on datalink panel. 4. Uncage skhval (o key, I think -- mine is mapped to joystick). Skhval automatically slews to target. Edit: This is how I do it. There may be other ways. Also, I am writing this from memory, so hopefully I didn't forget a step. Edited January 15, 2016 by ajax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Same as above, just make sure PVI-800 is not active and that the weapon system is reset.

dburne Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Interesting I will have to give that a try, thanks! Obviously I still have a lot to learn on the KA-50!

If someone reads you coordinates over the radio (or TeamSpeak ;)), and you type them in properly into the PVI as a TGT point, when you select that TGT on the PVI, you will get an azimuth indicator in the top of your HUD, and a range to that point in the bottom of the HUD. If you uncage your Shkval, it will slew to that location (assuming the location is within the slew limits of the Shkval of course).
