hachiman Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Hi Just wondering whats the point of a JTAC using WP or IR pointer etc if he has given you the coordinates already?? Can you mark units using these things without a JTAC giving coordinates? Thanx
Dusty Rhodes Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 It always helps to have a visual reference when attacking and re attacking a target. Coordinates are nice but to have that visual reference by Willie Peete or talk on to target is invaluable.
