Skysurfer Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Today I have experimented with some lofted LGB deployment using a JTAC and the computer target delivery mode. Now, I understand how IP bombing works in singleplayer but how do you go about it in multiplayer when you dont have a human RIO and need to use Jester? Say I want to take out a high digit SAM system and can not use the manual designation method, thus relying on an IP offset delivery. Because of that I have a couple questions. 1) Am I simply missing an option or is IP bombing + offset not implemented yet with Jester? Is this planned for the future? 2) Is the maximum offset range really 99 miles, which would allow for a far away IP so you stay out of the DLZ of said high digit SAM sites? Would love to hear some thoughts. Edited February 4, 2021 by Skysurfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been requested long ago and IIRC HB is planning to add that function but noone knows when 1 i5-8600k @4.9Ghz, 2080ti , 32GB@2666Mhz, 512GB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be too difficult to implement honestly - could run off of any waypoint entry method with a specified bearing, range and altitude. Because that way as long as you have external lasing (either from an AI JTAC or a player in another plane, at range) and once the GBU-24 gets all its modes and a proper flight model you basically have a tremendous standoff and alpha strike capability on the Tomcat.

I don't think it's designed for that long ranges. Mind the INS drift - it's not GPS tech - so the longer the range the less accurate it is. You have to weigh in if the drop altitude and bomb maneuvering capability can cope with that.

No I get that, 10-20nm would be more than enough. For LGB's the accuracy doesnt matter that much anyway, just wanna put it close enough and lase it in.
