cloud visual sensor blocking planned Maverick H, Lock on through Clouds,

[AngryViper.101]

Hi

When I fly a mission with rain and dense clouds I can manage the following.

1. Boresight Maverick H while on runway

2. Fly low and use TGP to Mark a target (Steerpoint 26)

3. Then I fly above the cloud cover, 15,000 ft up

4. Then using TGP I point track Steerpoint 26 which I setup as the active steerpoint and used the CN (cursor zero function) to make sure the TGP is point tracking on the point I marked in Step 2. (At this stage I see nothing but dark grey clouds and lots of rain)

5. I then proceed to fly to around 8 nm of the target , still 15,000 ft up above dense clouds

6. Then I can point track using TGP, handoff to Maverick H (which is in PRE mode) and it locks on!

7. Shoot and it perfectly hits the target .

 

So my question should a CCD Mav H be able to do this, and will it also work with Mav D's the IR variants?

Clouds do not affect sensors as of now. This will be implemented later.

Ok, I noticed I can lock on (boresighted) with Mav H as well as D (so IR and CCD). This through dense clouds, and only if I have exact coordinates that I can point track using TGP...

However, force correlation mode does not work.

It will work  with all Mavericks if they are looking at the correct spot, the same for the TGP on tracking mode, as @razo+r has told you, clouds has no effects on sensors, it affects too for IA visual searching, they will see you even if theres between you three layers of clouds, just like if theres nothing
