davidp57 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Hi there, We tried buddy lasing between a leader packing 4 fuel tanks and a TPOD and 2 wingmen packing 12 GBU-12 each. Yeah, that's overkill ;) Anyway, it kinda worked at start and then stopped working. Very weird. One of my wingmen was able to catch my laser point with his DMT a few times (not always, far from it) and fire a few GBU-12 (sometimes with DMT locked on my laser, sometimes blindly) which tracked my laser. Then it stopped working for him ; a second wingman joined and for him it never worked (no GBU-12 ever tracked). #2 was sometimes able to get my laser point on his DMT but reported it moving wildly and erratically. We tried different altitudes, different aspects, changing laser codes, but no joy... I'm interested in everyone's experience with buddy lasing between a TPOD and a DMT/GBU-12... Does it work ? Doesn't it ? What is the limiting factor ? Zip - VEAF :pilotfly: If you want to learn, talk and fly with french-speaking friends, the Virtual European Air Force is here for you !

Koozie Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 I have had the same results. I was firing the laser from my 8B and buddy never was able to pick up the mark with LST. His bombs never tracked blind either. I was at 18K he was between 5000-15K
