LGB Latch Lasing

[StrongHarm]

It's been mentioned in a few posts, though buried, so I wanted to reiterate:

 

Turning off auto-lasing and using latch, from above 10,000 ft., really makes a difference in the accuracy of LGBs for me.

 

* Go into the settings of the LGB

* Turn autolase off

* Go into the settings of the TGP (OSB1 cntrl)

* Turn Latch ON

* Get alt above 10k ft

* Drop the bomb (I pref CCRP) and watch the impact countdown on your HUD or TGP

* At 11 sec activate the lase (same key as nose wheel steering) with a single press instead of holding it down. It will lase until you hit it again (after target is hit).

 

Much more accurate and enjoyable in my experience.

Revamped for Beta 5 - All Good now.

Thanks Viper. Looking forward to 5!

Revamped for Beta 5 - All Good now.

 

Cool, is it fixed for JTAC lasing aswell?

so what are gonna be the procedure ?

 

Are we gonna hit the target if we release the bomb under 10 000' or we still should stay higher ?

Can we now lase from the start of the drop or only like 8s-10s before impact? :music_whistling::joystick:

As per the Combat Employment section in the manual.

Yes you will but 3 reasons why you should not:

 

1 - MANPAD bait

 

2 - Recommended release parameters inter alia 15 000' and above.

 

3 - See reason 1 above.

 

 

In any event, herewith result from worst possible release parameters, ie Auto-Lase Off, Lase from deployment, Altitude sub-9000':

Either Or.

 

Set Auto-Lase to off and toggle Laser on at release. Alternatively Auto-Lase at 12 seconds (recommended parameter) to impact.

I just read the

Combat Employment section in the manual.

and there is nothing that explain what should be the altitude, nor the heading compared to the wind, nor the lase time(only says that you should press

the nosewheel steering button to fire the laser if AUTO LASE is not set to ON.

 

Maybe you can tell us were you got your information ?

Or maybe update the flight manual for further release?

As stated in post #2, I am referring to the Beta 5 build that you will receive.

 

 

Altitude is common sense (MANPAD Threat, Limited 'Weapon Basket' etc etc).

 

Wind off-set is negligible and provided you are well within release parameters (Solution cue, CCRP reticle etc etc) should not be a major issue for the smart-bomb.

 

Lase time is stipulated at 8 secs - I however mentioned 12. I prefer to err on the side of caution. Feel free to ignore and accept 8 as recommended.

Flight Manual sprinkled with a wee bit of Common Sense and Research.

As referred to from post #2, done for Beta 5 release.

I wont be flying at 3000' if there is some SAM sites near:lol:, it was more like; is there a min altitude, let says, for the bomb seaker to catch the laser

 

Wind off-set is negligible and provided you are well within release parameters (Solution cue, CCRP reticle etc etc) should not be a major issue for the smart-bomb.

ok thx :thumbup:

k thx. Anyway I'll test it again with BETA5

I tough you were only making reference to the ''game'', not the manual. Glad it'll be up-to-date :thumbup::smartass:

I have yet to see any major advantage to manually lasing, in fact, I usually have other things to watch then when to activate the laser, prefer auto lase. Only tactical point I could see is of the target has a laser detector, like say a tank, but I dont think that aspect is modelled in the sim.
