ChickenSim Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Point Blank Designations are designed specially to rapidly designate a target (without using the TDC) to engage in an immediate AUTO delivery. These require a weapon to be selected and no other existing designations commanded. You put the Velocity Vector on the target, hold the pickle button, and if you're in a >2° dive you should get AUTO delivery attack symbology and a TD diamond appearing on both the HUD and EHSD. This doesn't work with either EHSD DESG boxed or unboxed, although boxing it requires you to undesignate the target it automatically creates, as this prohibits a Point Blank designation. TACMAN Vol. I, pg. 2-44 - 2-46, 2.4.2.1 and Figs. 2-41, 2-42.POINTBLANK.trk 1 "It is also true that we parted ways with Chicken after some disagreements."
