UPK-23 gunpods

[muamshai]

Anyone uses them? I kinda find them difficult to aim.

Su-25Ts gunpods were much better, which could be used with laser designators. I miss them :D

I use them every time.u can kill more targets.but u have to change the weapon system (the middle switch in the rear-right panel-position number5) to UPK so the aim-point change his position in the HUD.

ahha, now I understand the problem..

thanks man..

Gunpods used in Lock on, are fine but damage model is not. They are weak there.

 

Don't know how in BS cos I don't use them, I prefer Vikhrs + rocket pods which I don't use.

 

I would like to see these pods from SU-25T, beacose they can be sleved via laser to attack point, however I can't use them effectively.

np. did u tried to kill targets with UPK-23?its really easy.but u have to change the switch for every weaponsystem.but if u start the mission, the switch is in the position for the weapons u have loaded on mission-start

Ok, I selected the switch to pos 5. Still I was unable to shoot anything or anyone. I think I need some serious practice with aiming.

The [P] key (Automatic tracking/gun sight) is your friend here. That way the Shkval skreen shows where you are aiming at.

Thanks Martillo1 for the hint.

Now, there's one problem. After pressing P and then going back to previous mode, the laser does't paint the target at all (No TA indication on Shkval screen).

[Martillo1]

Well, after you press [P] for the second time, you leave gun sight mode and go into automatic tracking mode. Then you can lock (TA) and lase to find range (ИД), so it should show TA-ИД for a while, or just lase to find range (ИД) without lock. You can also find range in gun sight mode, but with no lock (ИД for some seconds) because in gun sight mode ther is no lock by definition.
