Laser Rocket Question: MAN vs AUTO laser mode

[[VFA-106] Glacier]

In a recent mission, my laser wasn't firing when I launched a rocket. I'm guessing this was because I was unable to acquire a point track. So, my first question is this:

does AUTO laser mode only work when you have acquired a point track?

 

If the answer is yes, then my follow up question is this:

if all I can acquire is an area track, will switching to MAN laser mode allow the rockets to engage the area track selected?

does AUTO laser mode only work when you have acquired a point track?

 

Should work in area track too, so no.

 

Did you set fuze on the missiles befor you fired them ? If not they wont track the laser.

Yeah, I double checked the fuzing after the first failed launch. Hmm...interesting. Looks like more testing is needed.
