Air Targets...?

Fearosius · 04-21-2007, 03:11 PM

Earlier on 24/7 Basrah, I heard an A-10 pilot saying in text for targets on the ground, I probably wouldn't know about it since I only got the mod not even 24 hours ago but is there an item which used by infantry, can let pilots of choppers/planes see targets that need taken out?

Thx

As of now, no.

In the future, the SOFLAM may be used to 'paint' targets for ground attack aircraft.

Yeah, the most ideal situation is to have a A10 pilot locked in a squad and have a commander, that searches the map for enemy assets and informs the pilot about them with VoiP or orders him "Attack this position"...

I think a nice shade of pink would be nice on a APC.

normally ive seen guys just spot boats as markers 4 the a10s to attack (normally we say tht to them first)

Commanders and SL can place demolition markers where they want air support to rip up. Effective and saves a recon team usualy.

Squad leaders can use green smoke to mark targets. HOWEVER, let the people in the air know what it means by typing. It'd be unfair on a BH who was looking for a friend in need to pick up, start landing in green smoke, get swampped by insgurgents then straffed by an A-10.

If you see a hostile rally point, spot a boat on it. Its the generaly accepted signal that you have found an enemy rally point.
