Question about CCRP in the A-10

[drhow]

I was playing around with cluster bombs on the A-10 in an effort to achieve large spreads. This led me to fly at greater altitudes, and I ran into some trouble. Is there a max range that the CCRP targeting pipper can lock on to the ground? Past about 9000ft or so I found that the only way I could ever get the CCRP pip to lock was by diving towards the target.

Just place depressible pipper over ground location and and lock.

Didn't try yet in FC2.0 but there is a max range in FC1.x. Above a certain altitude or distance, you can't lock anymore. The only option is to lock before you reach that border and while gaining altitude, your lock stays locked.

What I mean is that past a certain range (couple miles or so) and/or altitude, no matter how many times I hit enter to lock, it won't lock. If this is modeled that way, what is the max range is supposed to be. I understand there are different targeting systems, I'm just curious as I can ground stabilize the mavericks no problem while still miles from the target, but not so with the CCRP pip.

daylight MAV will follow ground spot, but won't lock at 7 nm, I noticed, my MAV went in the blue sky. Will lock target for missile track (blinking +) a lot closer only, like 3-4 miles.

IR MAV does a lot better
