Laser guided Missiles on the Helis.

[EC]DR.NOobFragger · Post by **[EC]DR.NOobFragger** » 2007-09-26 16:41

Sry if someone already posted this.. i did do a search and i didnt find anything really like my post.. but here it is.. I was wondering if you guys could put those Laser guided missiles from the Su-34 and F-15 onto the helis replaceing the TV guided missiles? ArmA has laser guided ones and they seem to work alot better than TV guided ones

but again iam sry if someone already suggested this and thank you for looking at my suggestion.

Would love to see the BF2 copilot bomber mode (without the lock-on mode preferably - just shoot and guide to the target) swapped in to replace the BF2 cool but unrealistic hellfire mode

i will love if we have both , tow and hellfire modes .

one , you need to guide the roket to the target , and the other , you need to wait for the lock to fire it .

In real life, you don't need to lock a laser hellfire. You just point a laser somewhere, and it flies there. Of course, gunner can lock onto a target and then the laser should stay there.

TOW works similarly, except it has a wire - you still put designate the target from the launching platforms.

Radar hellfires need to lock on, but they can actually lock on after launch.

well, IRL what you see is waht you hit (due to the helmet) , but in the engine is impossible to turn that fast and have that accuarate as real life , thats why the lock thing represent

it would work like a Heavy AT basicly, or a Stationary TOW

if u kno how to use a guided bomb u can use it almost like a laser guided 1. Just make sure u hit him right in the nose.

Exactly I totally agree with you on this, that exact system would be perfect for the choppers of course this would require zoom on these views but thats realistic, all I think would need to be done is a HUD change on that system and MWUAH perfection or as close to it that would be more realistic in this game anyway.

This is like the fourth topic on this, the devs gota start taking notice some time....

I Guess these folks are right.
Perhaps a combination for Multi-role:
Hydra 38
Chain gun 750
4 TOW(laser guided)
4 TV guided.

...mongol...

im sure that everybody saw this vid , but hey a thread of choppers cant be completed without this

Swe_Olsson · Post by **Swe_Olsson** » 2007-09-27 19:54

i think it should be HELLFIRE missiles only, as the Hellfires practicly uses laser, the TOW is to weak against armor, takes atleast 2-3 missiles to bring a tank down.. not good..

Also this feature will be to possible to scout a wider area with the Laser finder, instead of using that TV Guided missile

this was somthing i was taking about the 1st time i saw an topic about this you dont realy see that TV system but rather the laser guided system on helo's but i see more the the TV guided systems on jets

"need an 2 seat jet with TV guided system"

this would be ok in vanilla but PR, think about it you won't be able to scout with TV missiles any more. Plus the machine gun in the attack choppers should have a zoom in it you can zoom it in real life but not in PR which leads to having to get to close to the target to strafe it and getting close to any target in this mod is suicide.

RHY, the vanilla system is TV Guided, honestly i think it would be great with such a change. Its more realistic and it will give headaches to the co pilots as the pilot is gonna have to hold the helicopter pretty steady.. the chain guns has zoom if you press "C" i belive,

try it

I would love it to point the target and see how the hellfire's flyin' to the marked target.

And today's militarizes do exactly that, do they?
Im no pilot, but i have a feeling that would be a HUGE waste of resources and tax-payers bucks.

ya.. i mean exactly how the ones on the planes work.. like they lock on to it them selfs and u dont have to do any guiding or anything.
