Help with jets

[StuTika]

This might seem a bit n00by, but I couldn't find this stuff in the manual and the wiki/guide is down at the moment.

Can someone explain the weapon systems on the jets to me please? I'm fine with the attack choppers, but the jets all seem to have custom weapons. This is OK becuase it means lots of cool toys, but I jumped into the MiG (?) on Quinling yesterday and realised I hadn't a clue what the gunner did!

What's the deal with laser guided bombs not being locked when dropped? And the minimum height?

And do the fighter jets have laser guided bombs? I initially thought not but our J-10 responded to a laser target last night so now I'm not so sure...

Thanks!

The Dumb bombs on the Fighters to go towards laser targets, but don't lock on as such

[StuTika]

Riiiight, so they semi-lock on? Interesting.

Can anyone please explain the rest of the jets?

You can either wait to lock bombs or not, its up to you, they will lock on mid flight if not locked on before launch.

Air superiority jets
F-16
euro fighter
MiG-29
J-10

Gun 20mm - 27mm - 30mm
4 short range air to air missiles (may vary [not to sure])
2 medium range " " " " "
all AS have two bombs they will lock on to lasers, i'm not sure what cheditor meant my dumb bombs (maybe dropping from above 1000 alt) as newbie you may want to fly around 900 alt when a laser is marked that way u will hear the audio Que to drop ur bomb.

CAS jets
A-10
Su-25 frog foot
as newbie you may want to fly around 900 alt when a laser is marked that way u will hear the audio Que to drop ur bomb.

Gun 30mm
4 Air-to-ground(AGM) missiles (point at laser box, lock, fire and forget)
Rockets 38(A-10) - 128(Su-25)
2 bombs
2 short range air to air missiles.

Ordinance operation
Note Gun can be used along with all variations of ordinance.

Laser guided ordinance

Bombs for beginners

A target has been splashed with a laser, your going in.

1.
fly towards laser at an alt of 500-1000 maintaining level flight.

2.
when you pass over the Splash an audio que "i got a lock" will be heard

3.
when you hear "i got a lock" release your bomb and you should be guaranteed a direct hit.

AGM missiles (laser guided missiles)
nothing hard here

target splashed and you want another/more kill/s

1.
point at laser box on targeted hostile.

2.
same audio que for bombs will be heard.

3.
fire your missile and fly away.

Unguided ordinance

Rockets

Nothing hard just point and shoot (same with the Gun)

[StuTika]

Wow thanks Hitman!

Exactly what I was looking for . So laser guided bombs have a minimum height to arm of 500?

And I take it the short range air-to-air can only fly a certain distance?

And (this might be pushing my luck ) what about the MiG bomber? And the Tornado bomber?

Thanks!

Np StuTika,
yes the bombs have a min arm alt of 500 and the short range Air to air will fly any distance its just the range at which you lock onto the target.

No your not pushing your luck withe the Tornado and the Su-30

The pilot gets a Gun ofc and 4 short range air to air missiles for self defense.

The WSO (co-pilot) controls 2 weapons sytems with 2 variations for each

Weapon Slot No.

1

User guided missile
This is a self guided AGM you need a good pilot tbh and voip with him

2

Laser targeted missile
Get your pilot to fly towards the Splash, then you lock and fire.

3

User guided bomb
Just like the user guided missile except your pilot can pull up gently so you can still guide it

4

Laser targeted bomb
Just like the missile, lock and release preferably before your reach the splash.

[StuTika]

Ah thank you so much Hitman .

Now I will save this to my PC until the wiki is back.

Thanks again!

Stu.
