About JDAM

OK, I would like to know a few things about it:

1- I know there's one available each hour, but is it usable to all factions or just USMC?
2- Also, in which maps can it be used?
3- Besides having an officer kit, how do you exactly use it on a target?

All in the PR wiki my friend

A commander must receive a request for the bomb via a squad leader that is using his SOFLAM. After the bomb is approved by the commander it will take up to a 1 minute delivery time to hit its target. The damage radius of the bomb is about 75 meters. Make sure that you deploy it when and where you need it most.

I have seen the JDAM in action on Kashan Desert and Qwai River so far. Should be available on EJOD Desert as well. I don't know about the other maps though.

Use your binoculars (SOFLAM) in the officer Kit, watch the point you want it to blow, then press the secondary radio menu (default:T) and ask for the AREA ATTACK !The commander must approve it as the arty in vanilia, but the ask orders don't stay too long, so ask again and again with nooby commanders ! I had to explain it to the commander twice !
I used it three times as squad leader, very usefull if you match the good position ! And I also asked for the leaders to deploy it when I am commander.
One hour to reload, it is available when you see the AREA ATTACK button up in the commander hud !
To me, it works on evry map ... to confirm ...

One of the greatest thing of the 0.7 ! I love the smoke mushroom it makes ...

I know the kill radius says 75m, but when we dropped one on Gov't Office last night on Qwai River, it didn't kill all in the base. We rushed it thinking all were dead....most of us were taken out by soldiers still in area.....

The problem was it was targeted on a rooftop, the blast goes up along with all the associated damage. If you're under the level of the initial blast you're safe.

Gayness of vBF2 buildings. Get in one that isn't destroyable, or even a little tiny wooden roof, you will be safe
