moggel Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Was practicing buddy lasing yesterday with two squad buddies and I flew a FAC. About 20 mins in, after having lased four or five attacks for the others, the "L" indication on the TGP format page looked a bit "dimmed" and it no longer flashed when I pulled the trigger. Could it be that I had overheated the laser? If so, what's best practice to avoid that? Somewhat related: It seems I can lase through clouds. Is the cloud modelling not blocking lasers yet?

I haven't tested if laser overheating is modeled for the F-16, but it is definitely modeled for the A-10C and Ka-50 so it is quiet possible, that it is also modelled for the F-16. 1 hour ago, moggel said: Somewhat related: It seems I can lase through clouds. Is the cloud modelling not blocking lasers yet? Yes, clouds interfering with sensors is supposed to come at a later point.
