toby23 Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I cannot seem to complete the final part of the Instant Action Easy Georgia Mission. On my last attempt, I popped the ZSU-23(?) at the back of the column with a Maverick, then on my next run, both GBU-12's missed and both of the GBU-38's missed. I know how to drop bombs and I can do it in the training mission but in this mission, all my bombs missed their targets. Why? I was in CCRP mode, the bombs were set to CCRP, target was lined up etc etc but the bombs missed and eventually JTAC dismissed me and sent me home. I have tried this mission so often and fail every time, always at this point. Last time, JTAC actually used Smoke instead of Lasering the Targets, which was a nice change. Does anyone have any tips on how to complete this mission? Thanks. Ryzen 5800X, 32GB RAM, RTX 3060
Irregular programming Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Har to say without a track showing us where you went wrong. Are you setting the SPI to the vehicles themselfs as you bomb, because if you don't you are going to aim for the point on the ground the JTAC gave you.

MagnumHB Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 I do it slightly differently: Targets 1 and 2 (trucks/infantry) - Guns. Target 3 (bridge) - GBU-38 (JDAM) - I don't like to waste an LGB on the bridge that I will need for a moving target later. Target 4 (tanks) - Order wingman to engage tanks with Mavericks and ignore the air defenses. Target 5 (column) - Hit AAA/SAM on first pass with Mavericks. Use remaining Mavericks, GBU-12 (LGB), GBU-38 (only when the column is stopped) on tanks. Use guns and remaining wingman ordnance on BMPs and any remaining tanks. To solve the issues you mentioned, make sure you have a solid point track on your target with the pod, and set that as your SPI. When you use GBU-12s, be sure to lase the target (somewhere around 15 seconds lase time is good) without obstructing the pod's view. Only use GBU-38s on stationary targets.
toby23 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Now the bombs are hitting their targets but JTAC is giving me an 'Abort, Abort, Abort, you can go home now, thank you message' after my second kill. Do I need to ask permission before every kill? How can I get permission once and fire several Mavericks at different targets without the mission being aborted? Thanks for your help.

MagnumHB Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Make sure you call "in" and "contact the smoke" once it's fired and you see it, and the JTAC gives you a "cleared hot" message before engaging. 1
Cibit Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 The jtac should give you an attack heading that you need to conform to also the type of ordinance. i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB
toby23 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 So if I call 'in', 'contact smoke' or 'confirm laser' and am 'cleared hot' and run in on heading from JTAC, can I attack as many tanks in the column as I can in one run or do I need to do a separate run for each tank?

Cibit Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Once cleared hot you continue attack until all are destroyed 1 i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB
