Donglr Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) 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)?

Kang Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Well, you need something to shoot at. You can create such a point on the fly by lasing and storing a point, so you don't have to fiddle with coordinates if you don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
