Wile E. Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 I created a mission with some JTACs. In the mission editor, I set the JTAC to use WP-Laser to mark the target and to prefer guided bombs. I contacted one on the radio and he gave me a nine line with "no mark" and told me to use a GBU-12. When I dropped it, there was no lasing, because the JTAC didn't turn on a laser. I didn't see a menu option to request he start lasing or smoking the target. How do I get him to do that?
rob10 Posted December 30, 2023 Posted December 30, 2023 If he called "no mark" I wonder if he didn't have line of sight on the target? Did he call Type 1, Type 2 or Type 3? With Type 3 he won't mark target. If he is going to mark the target for you, you have a series of calls to make (and they should show up in the radio menu in order): 1st is "at IP", then you call for "Laser on", then call "Spot" once you've acquired his laser spot, then "in from the ..." whatever direction as appropriate, then you WAIT for him to clear you before releasing or abort if he calls "ABORT, ABORT, ABORT" (usually means you didn't line up the way he wanted or you missed a call). You need to make all these calls for a laser drop. Probably best to post a track and a copy of the mission to make it easier to troubleshoot.
