Sierra99 Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Good Morning! Now that the JTAC/AFACs are working I have what may seem like a stupid question. How close to the action do they have to be? Can I orbit them 20 miles away out of danger but well within sensor range at 20,000 feet? Or do they need to be closer in the game to work properly. Also, if I set up an AFAC along a road and send a continuous stream of vehicles down the highway will he call targets until he has to RTB or is there a limit to how many targets they can deal with?

mjeh Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 It seems most land-based units have a max detection range (or had, last I checked) of 5'000 meters, according to druid there are also factors like atmospheric and lighting condition (weather, time of day). You can see for yourself in the various .lua files. Also, you can give a JTAC vision of the target regardless of outside factors (even line of sight) by ticking the visible box under advanced waypoints. Admittedly, I haven't fiddled around with it since 1.2.3 and I have no experience with AFACs. It is, however, easy enough to see if a vehicle can spot another (enemy) vehicle. Just start the mission with fog of war on and check F-10 map
