Improving George's Accuracy

[NEECH]

George is excellent at spotting targets. George is not good at hitting them.

I know I'm going to get numerous questions about what I'm doing when he's missing. I can say, undoubtedly, there's no reason for him to miss the last shot that caused me to rage-quit! I was completely stable at 20 knots, nonobstructive view of the target, range was around 8K – long but considering the clear shot, completely doable. It's so frustrating to creep up on a SAM site for 25 minutes just to have him miss such an easy shot and waste a missile, sometimes repeatedly.

Is it because he can't use the DTV camera that he often misses?

You can switch to the front seat before you take off, and set the TADS to DTV mode, then switch back to the back seat.  This helps you see what he is looking at better, but I'm not sure it has any impact on how successful he is at hitting targets at that range.

Im not having any issues with George an hitting targets, as long as you are in range, and the target is not obstructed he hits for me. 

if you have a short track replay example of a miss I would be interested to see it

thanks

I assume this is in SP only? In MP there is a Desync with moving targets and always miss (usually behind) target.

I fly MP also, maybe I am being lucky. 

Track replays of scenarios where it is happening would be great, shorter the better. 

thanks

I think part of the "problem" is that George doesn't use any stabilizing tools for the TADS yet (LMC/IAT), and is always adjusting manually with the thumbstick. This makes it difficult for him to adjust during maneuvers unless it requires a constant motion, which he seems fairly adept at compensating for. Small/rapid oscillations seem to be where he has the most trouble.

yes please give George the control of the LMC or the autotrack

Thanks, I'll give this a try. Seeing his targets better definitely will help.

My lack of trust in his aiming has made me a better pilot.

MP for the most part. It's been a while since I played SP. SP I've only played the training runs; flying higher, faster which means a closer, easier to see target too.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Unfortunately, my tracks are too long to share. It takes a while to sneak under the radar.
