Davis0079 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 for the vickrs in the Ka-50 the laser has to be on first...then you lock a target....if you lockthe target first then turn on the laser, it doent know you are trying to fire...its waiting for you to lock a target before it will "range" it.... ...leaving the laser off works for the su-25....but try it one time by turning the laser on, then locking a target, then firing......not lock target, laser on, fire.... once again...I dont fly the FC planes...but the Ka-50 works like that...laser on, lock target, fire vickrs....if you lock the target first, then turn on the laser, it wont fire because you didnt actually "Laze" anything yet...you only locked a target with the shkval..... It only takes two things to fly, Airspeed and Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk_5 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 As for using the launch override, I've been able to get extended range with the larger missiles by launching with the override. By the time the weapon is getting close, I've gotten within range for the laser to lock and give the weapon its final destination then boom. Sometimes if I've been using the laser manually then switching it off and on again helps get a lock on the target. That was some time ago though and not with current 1.2.6 version so not sure if that is still valid.

esb77 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Did the rules for Vikhr employment change with 1.2.7? I've always turned on the laser manually for Vikhr, with no problems. Never needed launch override either, except for night missions where I forgot to equip the LLTV pod. Callsign "Auger". It could mean to predict the future or a tool for boring large holes. I combine the two by predictably boring large holes in the ground with my plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
