Petro2311 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I jump in the pilot seat of the Gazelle helicopter and when I select the Ticonderoga or Burke vessel I can't seem to target any enemy vehicles. Even when I try to add a target it won't let me set the Coordinates, radius or the amount of shots required. It appears that I can select a random area of the map and the default 10 missiles will fire from the vessel. However, when I select an artillery unit I can set the Coordinates and the shots I like. I've tried everything by selecting different battlefield commands by checking game master only, game master, pilot can control vehicles, game master, tactical cmdr, jtac, observer in the red, blue and neutral. Not sure whether there is a glitch?

Have the games Tico and Burke got any anti-vehicle weapons anyway? I know the Tico has got Tomahawk cruise missiles but the last time I played with them I think they could only be targetted against points on the ground, not against vehicles.

Northstar98 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Yeah, the BGM-109C that the Ticonderoga-class has available is only for fixed, land targets. It's confusing as the F10 map menu calls it the BGM-109B which is the TASM, which is used against ships and has essentially the same active RADAR homing system of the Harpoon. I'm not sure if you can use the 5" naval gun. 1 Modules I own: F-14A/B, Mi-24P, AV-8B N/A, AJS 37, F-5E-3, MiG-21bis, F-16CM, F/A-18C, Supercarrier, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H, Mirage 2000C, FC3, MiG-15bis, Ka-50, A-10C (+ A-10C II), P-47D, P-51D, C-101, Yak-52, WWII Assets, CA, NS430, Hawk.

Cheers I still have have an issue with only having the default 10 shots (rounds) and unable to change it, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if ammo amount can be changed, but my main issue with Tomahawks is that when we fire them, they all hit the exact same spot instead of spreading out in a scatter pattern so that we could wipe out an entire village. I might run more tests later. Edited January 15, 2021 by PoorOldSpike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marginal Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) I've built a moose script that works well for Cruise Missiles. The instructions assume you have minimal knowledge of scripting and using the Mission editor. Hope this helps. https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/255306-add-a-cruise-missile-attack-to-a-dcs-campaign-or-mission/?tab=comments#comment-4506274 Edited January 15, 2021 by marginal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
