LSS tracks ships

[tflash]

The TGP in LSS mode automatically tracks ships. Is this meant to be the case?

 

I find it very handy in antishipping scenarios. I just put LSS on, when I popup over the hill it automatically tracks the vessel and I can lodge an AGM-65G onto it. Would even be better with AGM-65E!

Just dont do it in the current version, or you will CTD...

[tflash]

I run the current version but do not CTD?

[ALDEGA]

Have you destroyed any Russian ships? ...

[tflash]

Well, seriously damaged a Resky. See mission below. Beware of Tunguska.

Where did You get that mission from?

[tflash]

Just a quick mission I made with the Mission Editor

[Nate--IRL--]

In that mission LSS tracks artillery for me... but yes, there is something wrong.

 

EDIT:- There are 3 units it tracks - 1x AAA, 1x Artillery and the ship. Issue reported.

also in the quick start missions LSS tracks some stuff. I remember it tracking a SAM (strela?) in one of the easy ones.

In attach the mission I was working on. There is a JTAC "Playboy" (kind of spy) on the VHF FM radio admidst the hostiles that will lase the Tunguska.

 

You will see that if you approach to low, so that the Tunguska isn't in line of sight and you have LSS on hoping to intercept the beam from playboy, that you will track the approaching Rezky ship in the background instead.

Yeah, you do not want to destroy any ships. There is a bug where if you kill one, it will CTD you immediately. Will be fixed for next patch, i hope...
