stoop Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 I have tried unsuccessfully to put an LGB on a ship. I use Sea 1 or Sea 2 radar to get a lock on a ship, make WMD7 SOI, go from SP to SLV - it's right on the ship, zoom in, looks good. GBU12 is selected and Fuzed N/T First issue, with the WMD7 tracking the ship so I hit target designate or not with the WMD7 as SOI? If I do, then it locks to the current area on the sea and the ship just moves out of the WMD7 view? So I leave it off and watch it track the ship. When I get the beep I release. Now no matter if I am in Auto or Man (and fire the laser manually) the GBU never tracks the target and misses by a long way. I also tried with laser guided rockets - I aim them up good, but they always fly long, hitting the sea way ahead of the ship. Anyone got this to work?

I also tried it, and I think it is unlocked due to the point tracking limitation of the WMD-7 pod. The WMD-7 will not be able to point track to targets behind itself. (You should see the message "INS AREA"). If you are going to attack a ship underway, I think it is preferable to attack from behind the ship. However, it will be difficult to catch it on radar. (You can detect it in MAP mode, though.) Phantom Forever F-4EJ / F-4EJ Kai 1971-2021 Sorry, I don't speak English, so I use DeepL Translate. Well, I can speak Japanese.
stoop Posted January 4, 2022 Author Posted January 4, 2022 Its very easy to catch a ship on Sea 1 or Sea 2 - that's what those modes are for.

Make sure you have the TGT Pod SOI and in Point Track. It may go into Area Track shortly before Impact, but it should still score a hit. Also, you may want to attack either from the front or the front quarter, else you bomb might be running out of energy trying to catch up. 1
stoop Posted January 6, 2022 Author Posted January 6, 2022 i have tried a few more times, but for the life of me I can't get a Point Track on the ship. I'm clicking like crazy but can't get the rectangle. I have no problem getting into point track on land based targets. Next I'll try placing a wide variety of ships of different sizes and see if I can get a lock with one of those.
