Jtac laser quiestion

[Viciam1]

Hi guys,

Quick question. From how far can the tgp in f16 locate the laser from a reaper MQ9? I press uncage at around 20 miles and it doesn't so just want to know the exact thing.

Also, is clouds a thing when working with jtac?

lastly, once i have searced the laser...can I drop my laser guided bomb and head home...or do I need to keep it in my tgp until target is destroyed? Im assuming I can head home since the bomb is following the reapers laser?

Any clarification on the above would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, as long as someone is lasing the target, you can disregard the TGP.

Ok because 5 bombs hit when I had it in my tgp view and one missed (i turned away fully) heading home and tgp went blank. Soo was just wondering what happened
