Click-to-target missiles?

[BrownBadger]

What was with those 'TT' and 'TA' icons on the HUD? Are those the lase boxes (in Cyrillic) for the Havok?

Yes, they have been there for a while.

[dtacs]

Someone hasn't flown air assets in a while

Yeah, the Russian/MEC have had those lock signatures since .85 at least.

I have never seen them before in any video or ingame. Funny since I've piloted and gunned every attack chopper except the Havok, just never got the chance.

Does that video also mean we get a Havoc and Co-op on Beirut?

Didnt see it in change log so yeah.. =P

Both of those are already on IIRC.

Edit: They aren't actually, but there was a screenshot floating around from one of the SP devs that had the Havok above west city centre?

Ah, i see. Ok, thanks

Another thing on missles..

Will the glitch on the bomber jets (Euro-fighter, Su-34(?)) where it shows hellfires that arn't there be removed?

I've never heard of a camera on a missiles and if there are any cameras on missiles (that give video feeds back to the shooter like in vBF2, not IR tracking cameras or w/e) then none of the missiles in PR have them, that's just a vBF2 thing I'm pretty sure

So to answer your question, the camera is on the chopper or w/e vehicle you fired the missile from.

AGM-65A/B/D Maverick are optically guided. Weapon operator receives a view via the missile's seeker head (either TV or IR); selects the target and the image is 'saved' by the missile as it launches; the missile then stores the image and compares the target against its own view as it flies. The operator does not view the inbound image, but he/she does view the target in the cockpit via a camera mounted on the missile's nose. So no, not entirely as represented in vBF2 but...

...The Israeli SPIKE-ER on the other hand has a fibre-optic link between the missile and the gunner. The view from the missile's seeker head camera is continuously fed back to the weapon's operator and they can correct the missile's path in flight. This has exactly the kind of advantages that you get in vBF2 with the system - you can fire from beyond visual range or from behind cover/concealment, and guide the warhead, in real-time, via an optical link.

So yeah, DICE didn't fabricate it. It's a real technology that's in current service with a fair few nations and is a bloody good piece of kit, from what I've read.

[Psyko]

are the explosions from gunship projectiles still invisible when the aircraft is out of range?

[scharf]

not sure but with the removal of 3D markers i doubt there will be much more helicopter firing from BVR

If you have good spotter, BVR is posible. I think this will be used in 0.95 whit experienced spotter.
