Gneckes Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Right now it seems the LANTIRN pod stores ballistics data for the GBU-10, -12, -16 and -24. As such, it's impossible to use it for dropping dumb bombs, as a kind of CCRP mode. Now, I don't know if that's realistic or not, but if it isn't: could it be changed? And if not, any way to work around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karon Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 As long as you use ordnance with similar characteristics, it sort of works. I did some tests with some dumb bombs and they were quite successful (granted, not as successful as dropping them in CPTR PLT or CPTR TGT). It can be improved by adding a diving angle but at that point just go full manual and follow NATOPS delivery parameters.

Naquaii Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 A CCRP drop is generally not precise enough for precision strike which the LANTIRN was integrated for. For precision delivery of dumb bombs CCIP (Computer Pilot) would generally be preferred, CCRP (Computer Target) is intended for saturation/area bombing or toss bombing which is also quite inaccurate.

Sonoda Umi Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Hey guys, I know that AN/AAQ-14 pod can be used for UGB deployments. But... Have any tutorial for using AN/AAQ-14 pod for unguided bombing(not laser guided)? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky-hendrix Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Well it is exactly the same as lgb. But why do you want to use the Latin in that case, as the Dev said above you are better off using computer-pilot mode Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 You could drop a carpet of bombs somewhere in the target are on level flight with the TGP. How effective that would be, no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How effective that would be, no idea You wouldnt really need a lantirn for that. Simply designate center of area as your computer target and drop away.
