JSOW terrain avoidance - mission planning

[jeff64]

Hello all.

 

Yesterday, on the "Hornet over PG" DCE campaign, I managed to infiltrate myself in enemy territory, avoided SA2 and Hawks, launched my JSOW's from 34.000 fts, just to watch them explode in the reliefs surrounding Lar Airbase.

 

 

So, how do you do your mission planning to take those iranian rocks into account ?

 

I think the solution is to set an angle for impact in the Jsow Mission page, but how to calculate the best angle to shoot at the max range but be able to clear all the mountains ?

 

Thank you

I don’t know if terminal angle works yet. But this should be accounted for when planning the mission. Check terrain maps of the target area for the best run-in heading.

ya i have a tgt set in one of my missions where i need the terminal angle programming for these jsows in order to not hit trees. Will be a much welcomed feature when it comes.
