Good MAV tips needed

[ScEBlack1]

Anyone have any good MAV tips, mainly like slew speed and setting up a shot, I know how to fire a mav and set mav to my STP but mainly having difficulty with the slew speed on 3 and setting up on the target, do you all stay quite a distance away while doing this? what is best setting for the slew speed? thanks all.

Using TGP is the best way IMHO.

Except when you don't have the TGP like in the first campaign.

 

 

As for the OP, I've found that flying slow and straight will make the mavericks slewable in such a way that you can use them to look for targets. I keep my slew on 2, but sometimes when not having a JTAC SPI I'll make it higher.

 

And yes, I keep quite a distance.

Note also that this does depend a lot on what control setup you have. I find the slew ministick on the Hog HOTAS to be dreadfully slow on default, so I move that up slightly in the control configuration and then let slew rate remain at 5.

Didn't played the campaign, but can't you just change your configuration for any mission before you start?

Feel free to edit the missions, turn on invincibility or unlimited weapons if you wish. But some of us just like to fly the missions as they were intended to be flown by the mission designer. :thumbup:

Good for you! I like to to change my weapons configuration according to the the mission task, even change waypoints if I find it better for the mission outcome. That is way there is a mission planner, right?

The part with the invincibility or unlimited ammo, I take it as a bad joke..

I certainly didn't mean for you to take any offence. Yes, you can change the load in the mission planner. I just said how I like to play the campaigns, not how anyone else should, or have to. The main thing is that you have fun with the game after all.

 

The OP just asked for tips on how to operate the maverick.

 

I am sorry if it came out wrong over the internet, it was supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek, so friends again? :)

EtherealN what do you mean you move that up in "control configuration"? yes I use the TM HOG HOTAS and it is very slow and a bit difficult to get used to, I suppose in time.

i changed the load out on the first mission of the devils cross campaign.. be buggered if im going in without a TGP.
