Avio Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 Just tried laser spotting targets (tanks, fighters on ground) for the JDAMs from about 10nm / 15000 ft. With laser on and targets perfectly at crosshair center and then designate followed by data transfer to JDAMs, all hits were a little beyond each target, as if the laser painted BEHIND the objects rather than on them. Thought laser ranging and spotting used to be spot-on in the past? Is it broken now?
TheGhostOfDefi Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 DCS has a Max Lasing Range of 14 km or 8,2 nm i think it was. You See that your Laser gives you returns when the Slant Range is Displayed in ft instead nm.
Beirut Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 Doesn't the F-15E have the stone knives and bears skins of TPods? Points if you get the reference. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

It wasn't reflected in the F-15E TGP rengefinding return, I don't know if it was fixed now.

It was changed a while ago, it's longer now I have heard on the RAZBAM discord that using the laser for ranging was actually effective out just past 14 nm slant range, but I have not been able to confirm the laser for spotting and guidance is actually effective out past 8 nm. Has anyone heard this or confirmed this? Edited December 21, 2023 by jaylw314
Rainmaker Posted December 21, 2023 Posted December 21, 2023 Guiding a bomb apparently works beyond the old setting, but the ranging number on the MPD is still relegated to the 8. Whatever range. 1
