Darren Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 guys when i start devils cross 2nd mission i have to engage tanks but i only have mavericks and no listening pod is this correct i am struggling to find targets just with just the mavs is my game bugged or do you u start with just mavericks and no targeting pod if you do any help on finding targets i cannot find jack any help would be really appreciated
Irregular programming Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 No you don't have a targeting pod on those missions, use your wingmen, your JTAC and get close and look through the mav scope to spot targets. I can get a video up later if you want to.

Darren Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) Everytime i get close i still stuggle to see anything on the mavs by that time im over the target gimballing my arse off and sams are all over me im realling struggling with this mission i need some pointers on how to approach it ,as i approach the jtac coardinates i can see small blck dots but cant lock on to them i think thats the tanks but as i get closer they just dissapear i turn 180 go back still cant see jack .and by close i mean 10nm off i dont go closer than that or sams just destoy me every time i tried to go 5nm or less at about 10000ft and still nothing what am i doing wrong.at the point i can see the small black dots im about 25 n out Edited March 18, 2012 by Darren
Irregular programming Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Hey, I screwed up my recording due to having cross mapped my fraps and joystick keys. I made a second one yesterday though which I should be able to put up today. Basically you have the right idea. You need to get pretty close to have the mavs lock (about 6-7 nm) also make sure to change your slew rate, I ended up with nine on my recording. The tanks are pretty visible as large dust trails, so you can keep a watch on them from the cockpit fairly easy.
ralfidude Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 If all else fails, you can change your payload in the mission editor [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC]

I will keep trying,not one for giving in i will keep an eye out for your vid and see how you are approaching it if it gets the better of me i will change the payload but dont really wanna do that i feel like i am cheating myself
Darren Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 JTAC says their heading East , doesnt mean your East . Depends where their coming from I guess . east is east is not. from anyones perspective

Darren Posted March 21, 2012 Author Posted March 21, 2012 Cheers m8 im gonna have a try soon as i get some free time thanks a lot taking time out to help me much appreciated
Harzach Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 east is east is not. from anyones perspective When JTAC says they are "heading east", that means they are heading to the east from their present position. The tanks could be to your north, south, east, west, or wherever, so this information is useless unless you already know where the tanks are in general. JTAC doesn't really know where you are exactly, so they wouldn't be able to tell you where your target is in relation to your present position. This is why they give you a 9-line - so you know where the target is and how to safely approach/engage it.
