[NO BUG] Using JASOW and JADAM against stationary ships.

[VGlusica]

So, has anyone tried to hit a stationary ship (let’s say at anchor) with a JADAM or JASOW? I tried this several times with both JASOW and JADAM and these always miss by about 50 meters or so. The mission is simple air-start on PG map with some targets set about. In the included track I use GBU-38 in TOO mode. When I use JASOW (C version) it does the exact same thing. I use this mission to test things. Not sure if this is a bug of some sort, don’t see it mentioned anywhere. Of course, there is a possibility that I am doing something wrong. If someone can take a look, I would much appreciate it.

Hey, so I watched your track, and did see the misses, so what I did was take one waypoint, #5, and check the coordinates vs the F10 map, adjusted the numbers with PRECISE settings and this was my result:

Roger that. Thank you for your quick response.

 

I do have to ask one more question. Is there a discrepancy between F10 map and ME? I am only asking this because I set all the waypoints with ME. I zoomed in and made sure these were placed as precisely as possible. When placed on land ME placement seems to work just fine.

[NineLine]

Do you have the Precise setting in Options/Misc./Coordinate Display, maybe that is the difference.

[VGlusica]

Precise setting was enabled. I have included the mission file, in case you want to take a look at where I set the waypoints. It appears that it makes a difference if the waypoint is over water vs. over land. Discrepancy appears to be larger when waypoint is over water.

I'll check it out, thanks!

I think I see the issue, you have the ships placed, with no waypoints BUT they have a speed of 20kmh, so they slow from that speed to a stop, basically moving from the spot you originally placed them at. Try changing the Ship speed to 0 and see if you have better luck.

[VGlusica]

I see, will definitely try as soon as I have a chance.

[VGlusica]

Definitely an error on my end, never even considered or realized that speed setting mattered without additional waypoints assigned. Thank you NineLine, you are super nice person even for a Canadian. : )
