Dino Might Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Plenty of people will make great direct action air to air or air to ground missions. I'm starting this thread to lay out ideas for unconventional missions. I have gotten MOOSE scripting working to lay down walking artillery barrages that lead targets based on time of flight dead reckoning. The MOOSE devs built in functionality also includes use of f10 markers to manually task artillery fire missions. What will be the functionality of TARPS with respect to incorporating it into artillery spotting or AI bombing missions? I haven't read up on the system (forgive me), but was there and will there be a way to access TARPS data over RF, so that a recon aircraft can snap shots of a target and coordinates can be translated and sent to bombers on station? Or was TARPS a "bring it back for download before you see anything" system? How about running a dusk/night multicrew spotting mission? Would be fun with RIO finding targets on LANTIRN and calling in fire missions with map markers. RIO guides pilot to various areas for search. Pilot is responsible for driving the bus and handling any self-protect against enemy air defenses, or maybe an enemy fighter or two? I understand these are unrealistic missions, but I like making some game out of this game once in a while. I played a great capture the flag scenario with someone a while ago, and I plan to resurrect it for the tomcat.
