Wali763 Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Hi. Seems I dont understand the whole thing. I did a mission (Exigent Riviera, Mission 4, nightmission) a few times, where I had to attack a Submarine with the MavF. Before that I searched for the sub with the Liteningpod and put a pointtrack onto the sub. I then seperately slewed the MavF to the sub and made the attack. But in some of my attempts to do the mission I (accidently FLIR-page on the right DDI still active and not the Mav-page) pressed the TDC-depress-button (needed to slew the MavF-seeker) and therefore did a targetdesignate, which was seemingly transferred to the MavF. That was nice, but I was not able to correct this tgt, since it was slightly besides the sub and the Mav-indicatior in the HUD was crossed out and not ready for an attack. After that I was not able to undesignate the MavF again.... I was able to change the tgt to another point (again depressing TDC-depress on the Flir-page), but I was not able to clear the tgt so I could do a manual lock on the sub for the MavF. And on uncaging the MavF it always went for the tgt-point and I was not able to override this and make the manual lock. Whatever I did, the tgt-point crept up; I even made tgt-designate to preset WP and undesignated it again. Still the MavF went for the last designated tgt and the diamond in the compass-band in the HUD came up again. I tried this on an other test-mission too. Once accidently pressing TDC-depress on the Flir-page made the MavF unusable. Anyone know, what Im doing wrong? If somebody is questioning, why Im using the Liteningpod before using the MavF: for me its just much better for spotting vehicles. Edited December 12, 2019 by Wali763
Darcwaynard Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 If the mav isn't locking on to your designated point from the TGP you need to make sure TGP is SOI and press undesignate/nws. Then sensor select the mav and sweeten the lock manually. I'm able to take out tanks without doing this usually but I have yet to try it on subs. Did you select ship mode for the mav?

Wali763 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Thx for the input. I tried that and it was the solution. Stupid beginner-mistake! If you make a precise designation with the Liteningpod, MavF will accept (lock onto) the target when undesignating it on the run towards it. About ship-mode: I used both and both worked (when I did not run into above mentioned problem). Edited December 12, 2019 by Wali763
