Abris tatical situation How to update?

[inSky_1911CFZS]

Hello guys I was flying a mission in the KA-50 and with an AWACS, against groups of moving tanks. I have got tatical situation marks on the Abris map which show me the target location. However, i found that these marks were the start position of enemy tanks,and as the tanks move, these marks remain at the old position and never update to their current position, making it almost impossible to find moving targets. So i was wondering if there is any chance to update those tatical situation marks on the Abris or it is just impossible to do that?

Thanks

This is not possible.

 

Those positions are fix saved in the mission files ABRIS Folder.

 

Also keep in mind that those markings will only appear as long as the units are not set to invisible in the misson editor.

 

Normaly they shouldnt be there.

Thanks for the reply.

So what's the recommended tatic for the Shark to deal with moving ground targets protected by IR SAMs? Sorry Im new to this aircraft:huh:

Do you know the axis of advance?

Do you know the enemy ground objective?

 

Use your ABRIS to draw a line from the enemy starting position along the axis of advance to what you suspect to be their target. The line will help tremendously keeping you oriented.

 

Find points along that line (on either side) which provide cover for you to hide behind, and mark them. Recon the rest of the route, looking for the tanks using your optics.

 

Be precise and deliberate in your movements to remain in cover, while you are in the suspected threat zone of the AD units. Don't fly max speed and all willy nilly trying to control the aircraft and popping up 200m to slow down.

 

Once you find them, there is no need to engage right then, unless they are dangerously close to completing their objective. Get into a good firing position.

 

Fly well ahead of their advance units into those pre-defined positions you made earlier and start blowing shit up. If they continue the advance, you can fall back to another position and re-engage.

 

EDIT: Personally, once I have the enemy in sight, I would set up a point to run in on the target NOE in a line to one of the points I scouted earlier. From there, pop up with defensive flares, destroy the AD, perform a defensive escape maneuver while flaring more, and egress. Repeat for the MBTs - including the flares in case you missed an AD unit. I never try to remain stationary while engaging, regardless of the threat.

 

Also, you have a lot of room for maneuvering into a position to fire your Vikhrs. Don't be silly and shoot from 1-2km away. Extend that range. Use it for your advantage.

 

You can use smoke rockets if you like, so you can easily swing your sensors/eyeballs/weapons to the correct area on subsequent run ins.
