Myrsnipe Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Another sticking point is that you might need to boresight the Maverick so that the TGP and Maverick seeker points at the same location, if I remember correctly this needs to be done per missile

Northstar98 Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 I swear I've managed to do an automatic handoff with an AGM-65H - when performing the handoff sometimes the maverick doesn't find the target but I have managed to do it. I'll see if I can get a track.

Willie Nelson Posted April 27, 2021 Posted April 27, 2021 I am having so much trouble with this, I don't see why there is a need to boresight if you're then going to do an auto handoff with a D model AGM for example. In any case, I wait to be within 7 miles, I have both WPN page up, TGP page up with AUTO and I then select TMS forward and I have only occasionally fort the crosshairs to collapse and lock successfully. It would be great if there was an in game tutorial on this one where the TGP and MAV seeker is not already looking at the target like they are in Matt Wagner's video. This thing is really frustrating! i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders. HP Reverb.

The boresight is what enables the auto handoff by removing alignment errors between the TGP and Mav seeker. If you aren't boresighting successfully, you will not get a good handoff. Once you have boresighted, you will be able to slew the TGP to a target and the Mav will follow it. Then when in range, you can do the handoff. It also helps if the TGP is in white hot mode and the Mav is in narrow FOV. "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."

So it looks like boresighting on the ground is what makes this weapon practical too I guess. I tried that the other day and coulnd't get the thing in AG mode while on the ground so I waited till I was in the air in a multiplayer server and then I got punched in the face! i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders.

You should be able to use AG mode on the ground, I don't know what might be causing your problem. Some people boresight on the ground, but it's really intended to be done in the air. You can circle your own departure airfield and use one of the auxiliary vehicles or buildings, or find a point of interest en route to your target. You can also use Mav VIS mode instead, which doesn't use the TGP at all. "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic.
