steelrfan85 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 What is the best A/G unguided for a line of tanks? What fuze etc?
gekoiq Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 A line of multiple tanks? 8x Mk20s all dropped in one long stick: QTY: 8 Mult: 2 Int: 100-200-?' depends how long your 'line of tanks' is... MFuze VT EFuze Inst HT: 1500
steelrfan85 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 I think I saw 10. Would that just damage them or destroy? I don’t know if I get points for just damage.
gekoiq Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 All depends on the spacing and such. In general it takes a lot of dumb ordnance to guarantee a kill on a tank. A pair of Mk20s dropped accurately directly on top of a tank or closely parked tanks will have a good probability of killing them. A single Mk83 dropped accurately within a couple meters of a tank will kill it. A single Mk82 dropped *extremely* accurately will kill a tank, but you have to pretty much hit it directly Dropping anything in pairs or more is going to up your odds of killing it. There is no magic bullet as far as bombs go right now for the Hornet, IR Mavs are the best way to ensure you get a kill, 4 Mavs = 4 dead tanks.
steelrfan85 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 Unfortunately in this mission there is no JTAC to laser so it has to be unguided.
gekoiq Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 IR Mavs, the AGM-65F do not require a JTAC or laser, they are IR guided.
steelrfan85 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Posted March 12, 2019 I’m guessing I would have to input the latitude longitude coordinates into a waypoint and designate as target but when flying the mission it doesn’t show on the map where the targets are.
gekoiq Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 No, the IR Mav has an infra-red tv display that shows up in the DDI with slewable cross-hairs, you slew the crosshairs onto your target and it locks it up. Here, watch this video on how to use IR Mavs: No pod, no coordinates, no laser required.
HereThen Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I’m guessing I would have to input the latitude longitude coordinates into a waypoint and designate as target but when flying the mission it doesn’t show on the map where the targets are. From a distance make your HUD SOI. Put your nose down over the target and depress sensor select. You can also slew the sensor if not accurate enough. You can then use that SOI for auto release mode of bombs and I guess you can snap the TV Mavericks to it as well, never tried the last though. Sometimes I use this methos for LGB in auto mode when I want to stay on altitude.

Legendofdino Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I’m guessing I would have to input the latitude longitude coordinates into a waypoint and designate as target but when flying the mission it doesn’t show on the map where the targets are. This is helpful in directing yourself and the seeker to the target. Once you wpdsg, the seeker will lock to that wp at which point you can undes and scan for targets. You’ll be able to do something very similar w the flir but at a greater distance.
