REL Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Hey Is there a way to make the JTAC designate Static Objects? Searched the forum with no luck of unambiguous and recent answer :( Thanks Guys
Kameni Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 If you can mark a point by GPS or other location coordinates, then you pinpoint the coordinates, not the object itself. Anyway... I don't believe that IRL it goes like: "Hey, Mike, would you drop a JDAM on that yellow house, second on the left, with 2 windows looking at the north" :P Coordinates mate :)
Grimes Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Unfortunately not, only ground groups can be designated. You can utilize some of the buildings that are placable in vehicle groups under "fortifications." But static objects cannot be a target, although it probably should be... The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

71st_Mastiff Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 cant you turn a LL location into a Target area? Would be allot easier to say target these Coordinates?

Evil.Bonsai Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 My attempt ... [ATTACH]80083[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]80084[/ATTACH] Haven't checked recently, but can unarmed HMMWVs be used for JTAC now? In previous versions, unarmed vehicles were not usable.

Evil.Bonsai Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Yes he can ... I can conform that.:thumbup: Hmmm....maybe they couldn't laser/pointer designate? Gonna have to try this out. Update: works as advertised. However, still have serious issues with 'no mark' in that even with a clear view of target, JTAC is unable to mark the target in any way (wp, ir, laser), or at best,, only randomly capable of marking the target. MGRS/LL coordinates and SADL data all are ok, though. Edited April 25, 2013 by Evil.Bonsai
Bahger Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Yeah, the "mark...no mark" glitch is infuriating. It has sabotaged mark with smoke and lase functions and, by making JTAC work less effectively than it did in Beta, it has weakened the very heart of this sim, which is the JTAC capability. I don't know why there has been no acknowledgement of this really ugly bug. As for getting JTAC to target statics: Certain user-placed objects can work for this but not objects like bridges and buildings that are part of the map's permanent ambience. So the best thing to do is to place a static object, like a bunker or a FARP, rather than try to make pre-existing structures a tactical focus for JTAC. The JTAC will target user-placed objects very effectively.

C6_Hellfrog Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 can't we have an invisible unit ( a simple soldier by exemple) with transparent textures = you cannot see him unless in editor, that can be targeted, and placed wherever we want = on a structure we can't lase designate without it? someone could probably create that ?
