EagleA25 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Hey Everyone... so, was bombing a little with the Cat and I tried to designate a AAA defended target by distance to attack it from altitude... So, used Computer Target mode and VS Low and VS high to move the diamond, but PAL does not "lock" the location... Something broke again? Edit: Type was an F-14A with 12 Mk-82's... in Normal/CCIP mode all bombs released on target as scheduled...

near_blind Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Was the diamond blinking? If so your slant range to the target was too great, and you need to get closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

near_blind Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Was your radar on? I'm able to get a solid diamond outside of 5 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a little more detail... I was in an F-14A on AlpenWolf's Cold War Server, with an A-10 running errants on the other side of the map...

Kondor77 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) I haven't tested this in the newest patch, but from experience you have to be pretty close. I don't have a hard number memorized, but from experience, I think the slant range is about ~10nm? Maybe a bit more or less? You know you're in range once the diamond stops blinking while moving it with VSL LO/HI. I use it to drop GBUs on lazed targets while staying above AA/manpads.
