Quick George query

[markturner1960]

Hoping someone can give a quick heads up to this:

 

When using George from the back seat and he produces a target list, once you give consent and he engages a target, the list disappears……what’s the quickest way to get it back again? I have only been able to make this happen by getting him to search again. Why does it not stay up ?

Thank you!

Thanks, I was aware of the down long command, but that means you have to command and carry out the search again....which seems a bit stupid when its already been done and all you want to do is get the list back up again. ( In fact why does it even dissappear? ) I thought that there may be another way to simply get the list back again. 

If that is the only way to do it and the search and list goes after one shot, then that seems to me, not very intuitive......

The reason this might not be stupid, contrary to your beliefs, is the time that passes by while you are engaged with that one target. Unless you are in *hover, other targets might have moved from that initial search vector or might be out of search range completely.

 

*this is a niche case, so ED might have chosen to erase it for simplicity sake.

After attacking one chosen target, I bugger off and start a new attack from a different angel. That means, I have to search and select again anyway. My very own philosophy... Sniper wise.

I get your point. But it makes it complicated to make some ripple shots with Hellfires (especially RF ones) for example.

IMO, the best would be to still have the list available after the right short command + consent fire. And in the case of a target moving away the field of view, just removing it from the list.

What I miss the most, it's be to be able to switch weapons after the list appeared. Because for example, if you are running with guns, you ask George for targets, a heavy tank appears and you want to engage it, you need to restart the process... (except if I am missing something?)

You can still select the tank from the list and George will move the TADS to find it, even if he has Guns WASed. After he has the target acquired you can have him WAS missiles and take the shot.

Oh... never realized it. Thank you.
