Using the Mavericks

[S]

Hey Everyone!

 

I'm running into some issues with how to use the Mavericks, and the JTAC system in general.

 

I know how to run comms with the JTAC (either infantry or drone) and the setup procedure for hitting the target - my issue is that the JTAC is lasing random spots without targets and when I fire a Maverick at the designated spot, I'm obviously hitting nothing.

 

Occasionally the JTAC will actually lase a real target and I'll destroy it, but most of the time I'm hitting random spots in the middle of a field.

 

My second issue is with using more than one missile - the first one works without issue, but then the second missile will not slave to the laser and I have tried caging/uncaging to see if it will find the laser point again, but it won't.

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

Cheers!

if you want to test without creating a mission you can use a Through the Inferno mission. Just search for it in the user files. I think for now you will need to edit the mission though and add pre-loaded client F-18C's each with however many mavericks you want to test. I think there is bug with uncaging mavericks you rearmed.

Once you have added planes and go to fly the mission, use comms menu F10 option to select A2G Easy missions. Don't do hard solo with an F-18 until they put HARMs in the game because the Hard A2G always has medium and long range SAMs in the groups and you will need a friend flying a Su-25T to provide SEAD support.

Hey dude!

 

Check the image below for my JTAC settings, Assign Group is configured the same, i think you only need one or the other but this works for my training maps.

 

 

As for the lasing after the first target, confirm that your JTAC's laser isn't snagging on any poles or trees, mine always snags a pole near the airfield after 3/4 targets so I had to go in and move him around in the ME.

 

Ensure that after you've destroyed your first target, send Terminate call over the radio, so when you recall LASER ON when you fence in again, he starts putting the laser downrange again (on another target!).

 

My implementation/procedures are quite noobish but its how I've got things to work on my end.
