ka50 jtac patch with dcs a10

[Migow]

hi , it would be great if jtac can provide coordinate with longitude/latitude in degree or decimal (pilot choice ka 50 )or mgrs (a10) :bounce:

with WP marking .

that negates the whole point of chopper work. You already have a suspected enemy position, and the recce provided by the wingman is the jtac of A-10 (they both give location and bearing and ultimately, an ABRIS target.)

 

Sometimes targets are way past the mark, but with diligent search, and utilizing the chopper to draw an arc around suspected enemy position, you're in luck.. And for the JTAC to appear, he is in game in the form of a FAC (which tells you when to fire, what to fire at, and post release target assessment)..

 

Besides, having the JTAC for coordinates can be tricky, because he's not in the code of the shark...

 

The best option is to use a swivel head and keep eye outside cockpit. Remember, a chopper pilot always knows where he's going at.. He has the ability to stop in mid air and assess the situation, whereas an A10 pilot can be taken be surprise, and most importantly, cant use terrain elevation like mountain crevices and overhangs, let alone civilian buildings for masking his signature..

 

But on the other hand, his ability to stop in mid-air can be a brush with death or actual death, because despite all precautions taken, the element of surprise always has a fraction in the equation.

mission CAS without ground afac ? russia use pilot on the ground

he say where you shoot ,when, he use WP marking on friendly so no mistake then WP on enemy (different color)

i can do that with trigger but there is no true interactive communication

plus it 's horrible to program that in the editor...

cas missions especially if target is close of friendly unit are insane without jtac (or afac on the ground)

 

(AI) air interdiction for deep strike in enemy zone (no friendly) we need good mission brief

with target point in pvi , threat, good ingress -egress ^^,eventually su24m afac to designate target with wp and coordinate especially if enemy are moving

 

 

"Besides, having the JTAC for coordinates can be tricky, because he's not in the code of the shark..."

-> that 's why i want a russian jtac who tell us coordiante L/L (the last one in decimal or second (choice)) in fact we need to choose ingame the coordinate format.

 

 

i need some knowledge about procedure about these two type mission:thumbup:
