Avimimus Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 I understand that the grenade launcher, S-13, S-24 are all not compatible with the automatic ranging sight. However, if there was a way to force the sight to stay on the ballistic computer (and radar altimeter, and attitude sensors) could still be used to calculate the rough range of objects. Having a range estimate, even a slightly incorrect one, would make it much easier to use the fixed sight to hit the target. So is there any way to force the automatic ranging to continue when an incompatible weapon is selected? Any hidden switch I don't know about? Thanks!
lja83 Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet, but if you use manual ranging, you set the desired range with the little dial below the auto/manual ranging switch on the weapons control panel. That'll put the yellow range bar on your fixed sight. It looks like if you select a weapon, it'll also put the thicker ideal range bar on it too, even for things like the grenade launcher. It won't do any correction for drift and it doesn't depress the sight to show an impact point, that stuff will be on you still. Edited June 19, 2021 by lja83

But I'm not sure if that adds anything. My hope was to find a way to get the ballistic computer to calculate the approximate range of the CCIP point. Once I knew the range for a point on the ground near the target I could easily work out the corrections required. I could then use the fixed sight and manually adjust the number of degrees correction for the weapon in use.
