Domkm Posted Tuesday at 10:31 PM Posted Tuesday at 10:31 PM With the introduction of the Kiowa, and the fact that you don't always have the luxury of having an Apache or aircraft to work with, which makes the Kiowa so great, I thought, what if we had laser-guided artillery? may not be helpful in all servers or cases, but it would provide a very interesting option for gameplay, allowing aircraft like the Kiowa to utilise its powerful laser and camera system to hit targets in the support role it was intended for. This also makes the Kiowa an even more dangerous aircraft as it can be quite a distance away, hiding behind a hill, and lazeing a large volume of artillery in which platforms like the Apache can't do safely. making it more dangerous than the Apache (in some cases) due to the amount of damage this could theoretically cause. Obviously, it wouldn't just affect the Kiowa getting a vehicle close enough, and lasing through the binoculars would also be possible, so one tac commander/j-tac role slot could do the same, and the least likely to happen is that aircraft could lase as well. But the two main beneficiaries would be helicopters especially, and more capabilities for a combined arms user.
EricJ Posted Tuesday at 10:43 PM Posted Tuesday at 10:43 PM I guess for era specific you can use Copperhead rounds, but needless to say that's been out of service for years. But I don't see it as unfeasible, and also the newer Excalibur rounds.
