wouldnt it be kinda hard to pilot the helo and guide a missile at the same time? its the same controls for both. if you had to point your helo at the target anyways, it could just be an unguided hydra

No laze = normal rocket
Laze = locked and follow

break lock by taking it out of the field of vision.

or you could seperate them by making rockets 1 (no lock) and 2 (lazer guided)

Well not completely, the guidance would take out the deviavtion and make it a bit easier to hit moving targets since you wouldn't really have to lead them with the hydras.

FORGET The Hydra bring back the ZUNI XD this is also under the same program as the Hydra in fact as the cobra cannot operate on muttrah as it would in RL the ZUNI rocket would be more effective (the unguided version) as a few of them would take down the BTR-60 as there is an anti tank warhead IIRC the USMC still Use them or are they not?

Not the most reliable

Usually vehicles with hydra have a copilot, so maybe the copilot controls the hydra as laser guided and pilot control it as unguided ?

I don't see why the pilots can't have both functions since I would think linking the two would be hard, if its in seperate seats, and if the pilot just ripples them off the copilot wouldnt have anything to use anyway
