Bahger Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 I want my JTAC to mark a target with WP but, after saying he'll mark it, a few moments later in the JTAC procedure he says "No mark". Does anyone know what this is about?
Quirkitized Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 In 1.2.3, they added specifics to designations for jtacs. It says WP (up to 15.5 km, LOS) So I am assuming it's a line of sight issue? Have you tried both fac group targts? FAC - Assign Group or FAC - Engage Group. I know engage group you can click Visible so they can see them regardless of line of sight, but unsure on WP. Have not tested it much myself since 1.2.3 so interested to hear if u get it sorted and how so.

My JTAC must have LOS or he would not call out the target coordinates; plus, I made sure he had LOS by seeing for myself in F7 mode. You may well be right about FAC "Engage group/Visible" but I wonder how this affects WP and why it's not working for me. JTAC has always been strange magic. EDIT: And even thoughthe "datalink" box is checked, the JTAC does not give me a red triangle, just a coordinate. I wonder what that's about... Edited March 10, 2013 by Bahger
Quirkitized Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 If it's a soldier thats the JTAC, they can't. The JTAC needs EPLRS. I believe all vehicles can do it, just not soldiers.
Bahger Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Oh, that's good to know. Makes sense. Do you think WP mark requires a vehicle too?
Quirkitized Posted March 10, 2013 Posted March 10, 2013 Infantry can give WP. I've always found it a bit tricky myself, probably always because of LOS or something i'm not realizing...
Bahger Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Maybe I have to move them closer. Might not bother, the coords work.
