Piraneous Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 right... I've been playing DCS: A-10 for some time now. I feel i have a pretty good grasp on flying the A10 and using its weapons etc. I know how to enter bullseye calls and how to use JTAC. my problem is... i spent 99% of any mission i do flying around in circles getting frustrated because i cant find anything to shoot.... This problem mainly happens when JTAC is too lazy to actually give you a target (tells me there's none, yet there's still bullseye calls being made), and i have never once found a target using the bullseye calls and offset page.. Am i doing something wrong? is there any way to make the bulls calls more accurate (saw one tut talking about mag variation etc...) and why the hell does JTAC tell me there's nothing to do when its the start of a mission and i haven't even seen a target yet... grrrr
Digital Aura Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I feel your frustration as well. It sucks when the only way to kill something is to memorize where you finally end up seeing it (usually as you crash beside it) so you can kill it when you restart. It's nice when they give you MGRS points because those are easy to input and zone in on. One thing that really helps is playing on multiplayer servers where you can chat with other players via teamspeak. If you live in North America, you should look for us some evening. Me and two others are regularly playing and we're all n00bs. Server name usually is **** LORD ***** and pass is LORD

That's where the fuss is! Happy hunting! AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower.

Evil.Bonsai Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 JTAC is only going to tell you about the targets it's setup to tell you about. If that specific group of targets doesn't exist (ie, already killed by other allied flights), you'll get a 'no target' response. But, unless 1.2.4 made great improvements to JTAC, they could be having coffee with the enemy and still tell you there's nothing there.
SharpeXB Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Sometimes, especially in Georgian Hammer, the JTAC is just wrong. Also unless something has changed, the bullseye calls don't account for mag north and even if they did they're leading you to an area 1 mile x 1 degree square. I notice they are never accurate either. i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
