Jtac not moving to 2nd tank after killing first Jtac lit tank

Jtac not moving to 2nd tank after killing first Jtac lit tank. Have a group of enemy tank lit up by Jtac, using Tac to mark a group of tank. using Mavericks with F-18. After calling up Jtac, they lite up/mark one of the tanks, I kil it with Maverick, then, I expect the Jtac to lite up another tank, etc, etc, until all ammo is expended and or tanks are all dead. Jtac stayed lock on first tank after tank was killed. I looked for a similar question in the F-18 threads, and did not find the answer. Thanx.

I did find this, but not sure if is the answer..

 

btw, this is multiplayer, with a host running F10 script.

 

I found this in the Combined arms threads after more searching... not sure if this is relevent.

 

 

JTACs don't task you to do DEAD. The Ground Commander has an intent, like "I want that target gone" or "Cover us while we get out of here" or whatever. The JTAC uses airpower to meet the Ground Commander's intent.

 

Now I'm not saying the in-game JTAC is particularly good at the job. But without specific tasks, targets will be assigned in I don't even know which order. And unless an air defense is the assigned target, it may come up behind an unarmed vehicle.

 

If you want more fine control, you can assign individual targets and also target marking methods to the JTAC using the advanced waypoint actions and the FAC task, if memory serves.

JTAC issues are not an inherent problem with the Hornet, this belongs in the General section for DCS.

 

Servers using a custom script also don't have much relevance to the baseline JTAC process (depending on what script it is), you'd have to take the issue up with whomever wrote the script.

yes, Jtac is not just for Hornet, wasn't sure where the question should asked,, since I wa inthe the F-18, Posted in F-18. maybe put question in Combined Arms. I don't know if it an issue with the script and settings in the setting for the map with Jtac. Am hoping soemone will know...

I went into the Jtac in mission builder on the mission map, and asked it to lite the tanks, each as a group. And then flew the mission and reset the target lock and i then would proceed with the next tank, I would then lock, and then the next, the next, etc... (my mind went blank with the exact command.. with the 'C' key.. with the maverick search and lock)
