purpose of ACQ in LOAL?

Hi all,

when watching Wags's video on the hellfires  I was under the assumption that you need a target/waypoint as an acquisition source before you can fire the the missile can find its general area where to look at for the laser.

Now I saw this trainign video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP2-zQf3dD4 (sorry, German!) where the guy does not use a target/wayoint, but simply hovers behind a hill, point the aircraft in the general direction of the target, fires and hits.

So I wonder why would you make a target/waypoint and use it as ACQ, if all it takes for a buddy lasing kill is having a JTAC lasing and just point in the general direction when firing(within range, of course)?

 

EDIT: wrong link
