M-2000C working with JTAC (buddy lasing)

[Corvus]

Buddy lasing works in 2.0.1- you can use Mirage as a rather fast bomb truck. Keep in mind that there is no way at the moment to input target location to INS so you have to locate it by using your eyeball and mark target with radar.

 

If anyones interested I'll upload my mission so you can try it out yourself.

Edit: link to mission added to video description.

Awesome video.

Thanks Corvus!

The video has unfortunately the top lines cut... For a laser-bombing-newbie like me it would be nice to see all the chatter options between you and the JTAC :book:

 

P.S: do you really need the CCRP to release the bomb or you just pickle somewhere in the area of the target?

I'm using a 1920x1200 monitor, but my video editor is only able to make 1920x1080 videos, so top and bottom parts get cut a bit. You're not missing much- communication with JTAC is quite easy- it's almost always first response that has to be used.

As for your question- yes you have to use CCRP. Not only that- you have to be careful how you drop that GBU. If you're flying fast and level there is a high chance that bombs seeker won't be able to spot laser (due to bombs flat trajectory). It would be best to drop it from a shallow dive so that the seeker would be able to spot laser designator.
