[REPORTED]AI is able to use guided weapons without Targeting pods

[daemon1808]

Hi, I have notice that AI aircrafts are able to use GBUs, and gide the bomb to the targets, even without been equiped with a TGP (av8, f18, etc).

Ughm, got a track or an example at least ?

 

Might not be the case of what you are describing, but both LGBs and JDAMs do not require a pod on your own aircraft to be operated efficiently.

JDAMs are GPS guided, so no need of TGP. But, as far as I know, Laser Guided Bombs need someone paint the target with laser. You can paint yourself the target, but for that you need a TGP for many aircrafts (like the av8b)

I have attached a track, where a harrier without TGP is able to guide a GBU12. Anyway, it is very easy to test it: just put an aircraft with a custom payload, set a ground target with a trigger and enjoy seen the GBU splashing the targed ^_^

I can confirm the bug in current public version (2.5.6.52437): AI AV-8B is able to guide a GBU to its target without TGP nor buddy lasing.

 

GBUs can be used in CCIP and CCRP mode without any laser: that's a fact. So I decided to move the vehicle away as soon as the GBU was launched in order to see if the GBU would fall on the vehicle initial spot (CCIP/CCRP mode) or directly onto the vehicle (laser tracking mode)... and it fell right into the vehicle.

 

Track attached and video here:
