Hellfire and moving target/fire & forget?

[Guenseli]

Hello all together,

silent DCS user since years. But not very professional. Use DCS once a year ad start everytime from scratch

 

Now with the new Apache I couldn't resist.

Two questions arise:

1) How can I "lock on" a moving target? I know about the LMC, but it's not the same. Is it really not possible in such an advanced chopper?

2) I always thought Hellfires are fire&forget. Now I have to aquire permanent laser on target (or at least the last seconds). Also thought it is so modern so you can quickly lock a target and the fire and hide. 
As far as I remember, the KA-50 is capable of all these procedures?


thx for answering and please do not hit an old nooby

1) the lock on option (IAT) is not modelled yet in this release.

2) the fire and forget is the L with the FCR. Also not yet part of this release.

See the FAQ for the roadmap on further implementations during EA

KA-50 can properly track moving targets but all his missiles are laser guided too, so you have to track till impact.
