How to use AGM65H with lasing

[Darcaem]

I'm playing the Vulcan Forge campaign (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3134805/?sphrase_id=9808604) and I have been stuck in mission 4 for a couple of days because I cannot manage to use properly the AGM-65H. I've been checking youtube tutorials without success.

 

I'm supposed to destroy a couple of targets that are lased in the frecuency 1688. My procedure is:

 

1.- Sensor AFT to select laser mode

2.- Enter 1688 + ENT to enter the laser code

3.- Wait until target acquire

 

I have no problem acquiring the target, but now I don't know how to slave the AGM-65H to that target. I have finally ended up finding the target myself manually, but I imagine this is not te right way to do it.

 

4.- Uncage

5.- Sensor FWD

6.- Slew until acquire target

7.- Release the maverick, and hit some tree, house or whatever because I selected the wrong target

 

The targets are in a populated area full of trees and civil houses, and I are specifically asked to take extremelly care not to blow up some poor guy's homes... I got angry and completed the mission with my rockets and guns :music_whistling: But I would like to learn how to do it properly.

 

Thank you!

Mavericks are not laser guided but you can slave them to what ever the TV or LST is locked to. What I do is once i have the TV or (LST if being lased by JTAC) locked on the target, then uncage the maverick press sensor select forward to select the maverick sensor head and then press the lock (or target acquire) button to get the maverick to lock to the target. Sometime they won't lock if you are still too far away but will when you get closer. At step 6 in your post try hitting the target lock button instead of slewing because the mav should already be aligned with the target but just needs to be locked on.

Thank you. That's exactly what I was trying to do. But, silly me, I wasn't locking the target at the last step :)
